LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Sandra Bullock has become the first female Hollywood star to carry a movie across the $200 million mark at the North American box office, Variety said.

Her 2009 feel-good flick, "The Blind Side," has grossed $208.5 million domestically since it opened in late November.

"(W)e're not even done," Warner Bros. President of Domestic Distribution Dan Fellman told Variety. "I think 'Blind Side' has another $30 million left."

CNN noted Bullock has accomplished a feat other U.S. leading ladies such as Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon and Julia Roberts haven't been able to achieve.
