Depp named top money-making star of 2010

GROTON, Mass., Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Hollywood film actor Johnny Depp was voted the Top Money-Making Star of 2010 in Quigley Publishing Company's 79th annual poll of motion-picture exhibitors.

Depp previously ranked No. 1 on the poll in 2007 and 2006 and has appeared on the roster a total of six times during his career.

Exhibitors said they felt Depp was responsible for more traffic to theaters than any other Hollywood star, based on his performances this year in "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Tourist."

Coming in at No. 2 is Angelina Jolie, followed by Robert Downey, Jr. at No. 3, Matt Damon at No. 4,

Steve Carell at No. 5, Tom Hanks at No. 6, Denzel Washington at No. 7, Leonardo DiCaprio at No. 8,

George Clooney at No. 9 and Anne Hathaway at No. 10.

Exhibitors were also asked to name the Stars of Tomorrow for 2010: one actor and one actress who they feel will be Top Money-Makers in the years to come. The 2010 winners are Zach Galifianakis, who was in "Dinner for Schmucks," "Due Date" and "It's Kind of a Funny Story," and Michelle Williams, who gave a breakthrough performance in "Blue Valentine" and supporting role in "Shutter Island."
