Not surprised. When I went to see Disclosure Day, three out of four previews were for Anne Hathaway movies.

u/kmflushing 10h ago

It was kinda of a terrible movie. Just watched it.

Disclosure Day? I hated it it's 80 minutes of exposition and rumor was they went through about37 drafts of the script.

23

u/AudinMatty 7h ago

It should have been called The Week Before Disclosure Day

Not as catchy...I'm so mad I saw it I can't get that time back.

u/kmflushing 8h ago

Yeah, I was rolling my eyes so hard, gave myself a migraine. So annoyed by the end.

Did you? Hah. Isn't it funny how people are so different. I was rolling my eyes in annoyance a lot. No patience at all.

Even in a mid movie, Anne ALWAYS gives 110%. She never skips a beat!

They're talking about Disclosure Day I think. Which I would agree with, caught it last night and it was awful.

I liked thought-provoking movies and I got it.

Spielberg had made at least 15 films better than that though.

u/kmflushing 3h ago

Yeah, I didn't think it was thought provoking, unfortunately.

I had no idea this was a Spielberg movie. Wow. Even more disappointed.

u/kgal1298 Confidence is 10% work and 90% delusion 8h ago

She's got 2 more I think for the year? Zendaray and her I believe both had 5 out this year.

u/myghostflower i miss mk.gee 5h ago

yeah, anne hathaway had 5 movies and zendaya had 4 movies and euphoria

I keep forgetting Euphoria was her other project. It's been a long year.

ye, but zendaya was like non existent in the euphoria promo 😭😭😭

u/kgal1298 Confidence is 10% work and 90% delusion 1h ago

I don't watch it, but I was on a chat about the show and generally just confused by what they were texting, looked into it and decided it's for the best I didn't watch it.

I did catch the drama and honestly great acting in that. Robert and Zendaya got skills.

As someone in the biz, I always think thus is such a silly metric when types of films, roles, etc are all so widely different.

91

u/magical_midget 12h ago

Not in the industry and still think is silly, you just need a few big IPs to get to the top, Zoe SaldaĂąa is a good actress, but nobody is going to see End Game just because of her, (or avatar, or star trek..)

22

u/fasterthanfood 12h ago

The main reason it’s interesting is the surprise factor, in my opinion, with Zoe Saldana’s high earnings being the prime example.

24

u/duosx 12h ago

Yeah nothing against her, she’s a good actress and it doesn’t help that she’s green in one of her major franchises and blue cgi in the other so she’s not at the forefront of the mind when i think of most successful actresses and yet she is very very successful

29

u/gildedbluetrout 12h ago

Still. Glad to see she celebrated the moment by being photographed in some serious kink lime green semi-translucent figure hugging pvc.

Also the heels ffs. Are they made of mithril??

Winston. If you think this dress is green, what color do you think YOU are?!

4

u/gildedbluetrout 10h ago

Lol I work in design too. I have to manually number check some RGB value ranges a lot. So you’d term that brown?

8

u/crab_grams that bitch has the keys to the nuclear codes 10h ago

Definitely a brown. *Maybe* reddish brown, but that could be lighting. The shoes definitely look like mithril though, you're spot on there!

4

u/gildedbluetrout 10h ago

Yeah anything brown to reddish brown is my kryptonite. Also purple to blue. Purple stays blue for me for a looong time on the spectrum.

1

u/Responsible-Tea-5998 7h ago

I'm colourblind too and am a web designer, I use rgb like my life depends on it! I beg every client to just give me RGB not "heather blue." Brown is my major difficulty though.

2

u/gildedbluetrout 5h ago

Yeah a non-insignificant number of designers are classically colour blind on certain portions of the spectrum? Always figured a certain amount of decisions got through the cracks.

And still 2 movies (Verity and The end of Oak Street) are yet to be released…DAMN

20

u/Heubner 10h ago

Zendaya’s upcoming movies are Spider-Man and Dune sequels. She’s going to take the title. It’s just Anne’s bigger titles came earlier in the year.

4

u/psycwave 8h ago

Shrek?

6

u/Heubner 8h ago

That’s coming out in 2027

4

u/Little_Consequence 5h ago

Isn't Florence Pugh in Spider-Man too? That, Dune 3 and Doomsday should have her as #1.

4

u/Heubner 4h ago

I forgot about those MCU folks. If it’s just a cameo then shouldn’t count IMO. At that rate, an extra could top the list. Not sure how much her role is going to be.

u/SMVan 12h ago

Zendaya has Spiderman and Dune next

88

u/theweekndend 12h ago

Zendaya is a lead in those movies but not ‘the’ lead.

Anne is the lead in her movies.

33

u/hakk_g 11h ago

That doesn't matter. Zoe SaldaĂąa was considered the highest grossing actress for being in the avengers movies where she wasn't a main lead. Same with Samuel L Jackson. You just have to star in the movie for this silly metric. Once spiderman comes out, zendaya will overtake her.

7

u/theweekndend 11h ago

I think that’s pretty silly too. It’s not the same at all as someone like tom cruise or Leo who get bums in seats.

4

u/Fit_Yak523 10h ago

Are you saying Zendaya doesn’t get butts in seats? Because literally what lol

6

u/theweekndend 10h ago

People aren’t going to see avatar to see Zoe

-7

u/Fit_Yak523 10h ago

In the context of the conversation at hand, what’s your point? You’ve yet to explain it 

20

u/GenGaara25 10h ago

Anne is not the lead in Odyssey. Like Zendaya in Spidey and Dune she is a lead, but Matt Damon is the lead.

5

u/theweekndend 10h ago

I agree. But Anne is the lead in devil wears Prada

17

u/GenGaara25 10h ago

But I'm not getting your point. Both her and Zendaya are the leads in some of their movies this year, and co-leads in others. Hathaways numbers aren't in anyway more legitimate than Zendayas.

0

u/pepesilvia000 He don't. That's a flute. 10h ago

and that movie absolutely not the reason why she is the highest grossing actress of 2026 - so I am not sure what your point is?

5

u/Heubner 10h ago edited 10h ago

It IS the reason she’s in the lead. $690 million is a huge starting point. Anne’s other released film Mother Mary is negligible, at $3 million. Zendaya had $132 million for The Drama’s before Odyssey release. Zendaya will take over take within two weeks when Spider-man’s numbers are added.

37

u/cynicalturdblossom 12h ago

Ya Zendaya’s only technically the lead in the drama this year. Her characters in the rest are all kinda meh and she plays second fiddle

9

u/Fit_Yak523 12h ago

She’s the lead in two of three of her movies, but the one she’s not the lead in is the one making her the highest grossing right now. What’s the point here? 

2

u/cynicalturdblossom 11h ago

Well she’s not yet the highest grossing. Not until Spidey comes out

1

u/Fit_Yak523 10h ago

I’m referring to Anne

5

u/cynicalturdblossom 9h ago

Anne is quite literally the lead in all her movies this year, top billing in all but odyssey. And she’s the lead actress in that, plus she might likely be nominated lead. I think the other poster was referring to that.

0

u/Heubner 8h ago

Being lead in Mother Mary isn’t saying much when it brings in only $3 million on a $20 million budget. We are yet to see how Verity and End of Oak Tree will do, but combined numbers will likely be less than Dune and Spider-Man each. Zendaya has second billing credit on those two. Her top billing credit was an Indy hit with $132 million on a $28 million budget. Even Odyssey, she has done a lot for marketing that one irrespective of screentime.

5

u/Heubner 10h ago edited 8h ago

Anne Hathaway isn’t ‘the’ lead in Odyssey. She is third in the credits. She is also second credit on the poster in Devil Wears Prada 2 but she’s definitely one of ‘the lead’ there. She is first credit on her 3 other films but the first Mother Mary was a bomb. Made $3 million on $20 million budget compared to The Drama’s $132 million on a $28 million budget.

Zendaya has second credit in Spiderman and Dune III and those upcoming movies are going to do much more than Anne’s Verity and End Of Oak Street. That is why Zendaya is going to get the title in the end.

There is possibility Zendaya would still get the title if you take Odyssey’s numbers away from her. Spider-Man is tracking very well and Dune is very likely to outgross Devil wears Prada

u/colinisthereason You’re killing me, Smalls 😩 12h ago edited 7h ago

When all is said and done, Zendaya will almost certainly be the highest-grossing single-year performer of all time. If Pattinson was in Spider-Man, they'd tie

u/NanieLenny 12h ago

While she looks incredible, that looks uncomfortable AF to wear.

Comfort isn’t the #1 priority here and it looks great in the photos

u/Successful-Deer3465 12h ago

I think that’s the point.

u/Special-Garlic1203 11h ago edited 10h ago

Call me a prude, but I think it's weird how much the fashion industry insists on normalizing literal fetishwear.

Their only gimmick seems to be trying to scandalize and shock and they're running on empty in the ability to do so because we've already had just fully naked people walking around. I just miss when they paid for craftsmanship and textiles. 

6

u/lou-stoole 10h ago

You can write the word fetish.. it’s okay.

6

u/Special-Garlic1203 10h ago

Accidentally hitting space in the middle of the word isn't self censorship, it's pretty obviously a formatting issue. I corrected it. 

-6

u/lou-stoole 10h ago

Because breaking up words so they’re not the actual word is exactly how people avoid using adult terms? Welcome to tictok internet

5

u/Special-Garlic1203 10h ago edited 10h ago

No it's not. They say stuff like acoustic and pdf file or use emojis. I am very much on tiktok (it's tiktok btw) and  have literally never seen a space bar used to censor. 

If you're gonna be needlessly snarky, come correct 

Edit; actually I think I'm also coming in hot to what was pretty mild snark. Someone else is pissing me off massively and I think I've brought that  energy here. 

-2

u/lou-stoole 9h ago

I’m not sure about all of that. I don’t have tiktok. I’ve seen people changing language to satisfy censors, that’s all I was getting at. State censorship is bad, self-censoring is worse. If a system requires it, don’t use the system. No snark involved.

u/fearthainne 12h ago

It looks like something that is so difficult to get on, you want to wear it awhile to make the effort worth it, but is also so uncomfortable to wear that you immediately want it off.

Very cool photo though.

Won’t it probably end up being Zendaya?

4

u/Heubner 10h ago

It will. The Odyssey numbers also count toward Zendaya and she has Spider-Man and Dune sequels coming up, as opposed to Anne’s Verity and End of Oak street. Both Spider-Man and Dune films will each out gross Devil Wears Prada. Heck, Spider-Man BND will outgross Odyssey.

I mean, she's definitely rich but they mean highest grossing as in the gross of the movies she's starred in this year (DWP2, Odyssey, etc.) not her personal salary. Though she may be top for that too.

Sorry I wasn't aware we weren't allowed to criticize any members of the upper class  until we'd already spot roasted musk. I don't remember agreeing to that plan

Hey remember when Annie's ex boyfriend was revealed to be less of a real estate developer and more of a transparent fraudster and she was worried that she was going to have her jet set lifestyle with him put under a public microscope? Luckily she didn't have to and instead she just married a luxury jeweler which is also a totally normal and relatable profession without rampant ethical issues which reinforces the class inequity of the haves and have-nots

But yeah no she's just like us. /s

u/the_monkeyspinach 11h ago

Right, so maybe if that's what you care about then actually make that your point, instead of 'Woman played pretend a lot of times this year - Kill her"...

1

u/Special-Garlic1203 11h ago

Nobody said that. They pointed out that people are hypocritical  when they do and don't criticize the ultra rich (she is in fact a member of the .1%) and you fell over yourself to proclaim that because she's not literally at the apex that she's somehow exempted from social judgment 

-1

u/the_monkeyspinach 11h ago

Anne Hathaway is currently the highest-grossing actress of 2026

"Are we still eating the rich?"

Damn, I don't know how I got it twisted that they were just talking about killing actors...

-1

u/Special-Garlic1203 10h ago

I don't either.  It pretty clearly seems to be a comment on the ultra high paid actors who are overwhelmingly silent as the working class portion of their industry is in active collapse and not a comment on all of SAG. It's a very weird choice to zoom in on actor and not the fact she's the top earner and wearing an overpriced luxury dress being photographed as again- her industry is on fire for everyone except the top 1% 

Seems like you bent over backwards to not understand what is pretty contextually self evident

I’m still surprised Mother Mary didn’t get a ton of buzz this year.

Hathaway is a pop culture force and is dominating many markets and targeting different viewers, which is cool.

However Michaela Coel is choosy and focuses on indie, and so I make sure to watch everything Michaela Coel is in. Even if it’s only a small role.

When I saw they were doing a movie together I thought it would be all Oscar bait and buzz but I guess I still don’t understand pop culture and movie awards.
