GROTON, Mass., Jan. 3 (UPI) -- The annual Quigley Poll has found Tom Cruise to be the top money-making star for U.S. movie theaters in 2005.
Quigley Publishing Co. of Groton, Mass., has been asking U.S. theater owners and operators for the 10 stars who generated the most box office revenue annually since 1932.
Cruise's 2005 win -- based on "War of the Worlds" -- is his seventh, the most of any actor since 1932, Quigley said in a news release. He has been in the Top 10 a total of 18 times.
No. 2 on the 2005 list was Johnny Depp followed by a tie in the No. 3 spot for Angelia Jolie and Brad Pitt, stars of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith."
Vince Vaughn, who had four releases in 2005 -- "Wedding Crashers," "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," "Be Cool" and "Thumbsucker" -- was No. 5.
George Clooney came in at No. 6, followed by Will Smith, Reese Witherspoon, Adam Sandler and Tom Hanks.
Hanks, last year's No. 1, made it onto the 2005 list because "Polar Express" played throughout 2005 as well.
Jack Black and Dakota Fanning were named as Stars of Tomorrow for 2005.
