• Saw this earlier and was pleased to see your name on the list, Nikki, especially with your ever-expanding Deadline London coverage. I was horribly depressed to see so few Brits on the list, especially in the top 20. I was pleased at the general prevalence of creatives over executives, though, and hope that’s a good sign. Although with Ed Vaizey at the political helm, I have my doubts.

  Congrats!

• Interesting (if occasionally bizarre) list. I’d have thought The Dark Knight and Inception earning a combined 1.8 billion would place Nolan higher than Pitt. His name on a poster will now sell more tickets, and he can pretty much make any movie he wants to now at Warner’s.

• Before the inevitable moans about this list, bear in mind it’s people who affect BRITISH film goers, hence some British critics and industry people in there.

• About 15-16 women out of 100. Majority are actresses. Still better than the US would be. Congrats Nikki!

• How the heck is Kristin Scott Thomas, Keira Knightley or Tilda Swinton on this list ? These females have no box-office clout. Of course, I can’t take this list seriously.

• How can Will Smith not be in the top 25. Karate Kid did great box office. Of course Smith is the number box office actor.
