Yup.. look at the list here..

1- Julia Roberts- she definately makes profitable films BUT her last big hits were all in 2001 or earlier. That said she has done many more low budget I'll take much less to do a movie I really like movies since that time

2- Nicole Kidman- has been in many critically acclaimed movies but not many blockbusters. Her tries at that failed miserably. Bewitched had a domestic gross of just under 66 million with a budget of 85 million. It was profitable from worldwide grosses ($129 million) but when people look at box office success they look at the domestics as they want that to top the budget by a margin to be considered a real success. The Stepford Wives and The Interpreter were both disappointments as well. A money maker can still be considered a flop if it doesn't beat it's costs domestically.

3- Reese Witherspoon - she's definately had her successes like Sweet home Alabama, Legally Blonde, and the current Walk The Line but she also just flopped miserably with Just Like Heaven.

4- Drew Barrymore- she's got a decent sized resume but many of her biggest successes was as a co-star in a movie and not the leading attraction. She does pretty good, but not great as the lead like Fever Pitch which grossed $50 million off of a budget of $30 million.

5- Renee Zellwegger- Chicago was a smash hit and Bridget Jones was an undeinable success. Has had some other ok things but nothing else really great.

6- Angelina Jolie- Tomb Raider was certainly profitable and I sure as hell didn't go see Mr. and Mrs. Smith to see Brad Pitt!! ;>))

7- Cameron Diaz- Do the Shrek movies count since they are animated? Most of her really big successful movies have come as part of an ensemble with the exception of There's Something About Mary.

8- Joide Foster- Doesn't do a lot of movies but when she does they are generally pretty successful.
