wow. I saw 1. number one. Jason bourne. i didn’t like it.
Hey bob cox….I thought it was ok. I never really liked any of the Bourne movies….actually I thought the Jeremy Renner was better than average. Thanks for the quick review.
Bruce’s write-up above suggests that he is impressed with Alicia but there is only so much even he can do to promote a performer at the box office and Alicia’s total adjusted domestic gross of $335 million for the 15 movies in The Work Horse’s chart with an average per movie of around $26.7 million suggests she will not be challenging Myrna as the Cogerson box office Queen anytime soon.
Otherwise though Alicia’s CV is impressive in most respects considering that she has been on screen for just 12 years and that in the first 4 of those years she was completely confined to short films only. Between 2002 and 2008 she was prolific on television appearing in a TV film and in an overall 58 episodes, spread across 5 different TV series.
IMDB credits her with an astonishing overall 52 acting awards and 56 nominations and she has a reported net worth of £5.7 million which converts to 8 million US dollars. Not bad for a 30 year old from Sweden.
On a personal note I should add that W o Bob is very keen to go to see Alicia’s 2017 Tulip Fever so it would appear that I will soon be watching Alicia for my own first time and can then judge whether The Work Horse’s “good” rating of 62% for that movie is justified. Meanwhile “Vote up!” for this new page on a progressive young actress.
NB: Alicia’s next movie scheduled for release in 2019 is called The Earthquake Bird is at post-production stage and I note that she has top billing in it – see Part 2
Please see footnote on my previous post about Alicia
Some of you other regulars –and you know who you are!- think that ole Bob in his assessment of the star status of performers such as Myrna Loy overstates the importance of the order of billing in movies.
You might therefore find it instructive to read the trivia section of IMDB’s page on the 1940 “It All Came True” in which initially Ann Sheridan was billed alone above the title and Jeffrey Lynn and Bogie were respectively listed 2nd and 3rd below the title in very small letters [see for example posters on both IMDB and Wikipedia’s pages for that movie]. However –
“For the 1945 re-release print, Warner Bros. changed the opening credits order for their new star Humphrey Bogart, now listing him above Ann Sheridan before the title and moving Jeffrey Lynn to the “With” cast after the title”. [IMDB]
“Only one name goes above mine – Spencer Tracy.” [Humphrey Bogart]
“But when it came to the acid test of signing a contract (for 1955’s The Desperate Hours) neither Spence nor Bogie would give up top billing and rejected every manner of compromise offered to them.” [Katie Hepburn – friend of both actors]
Hey Bob. Ah….I was thinking….does Bob really have two comments worth of information on Alicia Vikander….and then I see the turn in subject….billing?…who would have guessed….lol.
Good stuff on Bogie. In 1940, Bogie was still a supporting star….High Sierra and The Maltese Falcon would change that forever in 1941….and Casablanca would make him a legend forever. So I do find it surprising that the posters would change on the re-release.
It is a shame that Bogie and Tracy did not figure out the billing issue….it would have been a nice bookend with 1930’s Up The River…which was one of their first movies. Thanks for sharing this information. Good stuff as always.
HI BRUCE
Thanks for your feedback which I enjoyed.
By the way I hope you are going to treat yourself as sternly as you treated me and don’t credit to your main Cogerson contributor’s tally all these Cogerson aliases like Philly Cogerson and Wife Cogerson. Maybe W o C should get the credit for the latter !!
As you know I hold a lot of store in order of billing but I think that of all the great stars Tracy was the most obsessed with it.
Hey Bob….I agree her box office record is not the best…and yes she will have a hard time overcoming Loy’s challenged box office totals. Another factor against her, is that she is already in her 30s….so 39 is coming fast…lol.
Tulip Fever was interesting. Who knew that tulip buds were so popular back in the day. I think my favorite Alicia movies are Ex Machina and The Man From UNCLE. Like Steve…The Danish Girl was not a movie I had much interest in watching….but Alicia is very good in the movie. Another underrated movie is The Light Between Oceans. She and real life husband, Michael Fassbender, are excellent on screen….it is a good but depressing movie.
I just looked up Earthquake Bird, while doing my Steve comment. Does not look like a crowd pleasing movie at all….and then her next movie is The Glorias….in which she plays Gloria Steinem….which seems like an Oscar attempt versus box office glory.
I agree….she has done very well for herself so far. Good stuff…on to comment 2.
Only 30 years old. Alicia’s just a baby compared to some of the others we’ve had here recently. And Jennifer Lawrence is even younger, she’s still in her 20s. Movie stars get old and fade away and there’s a never ending stream of young actors taking their place, as it should be.
I’ve seen 5 of the 15 films on the chart – Ex Machina, The Man from UNCLE, Tomb Raider, Seventh Son and Jason Bourne. I own all of them on blu-ray. Tomb Raider and Seventh Son in 3D.
The Oscar winning Danish Girl had a subject matter that didn’t interest me. According to Wikipedia her Oscar win for that film was controversial in that she was clearly the leading lady (okay Eddie Redmayne was really the ‘leading lady’ storywise) but was intentionally entered in the Supporting Actress category because the studio knew she had more chance of winning there than in the Best Actress category, ooh naughty.
Good work Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve. You are so correct….young actresses are always ready to become the “next hottest” thing. Not to mention young actors. Few reach “legendary status”. Not sure Alicia is going to make it to the next level. Looking at her future projects: Earthquake Bird and The Glorias do not seem like box office winners…but I could be mistaken. I think the controversy about her Danish Girl Oscar win, happens all the time….and will continue to happen. Although you have only seen 5 of her movies (33%) they all are in your DVD collection. That is a pretty good %. Maybe you are a bigger fan than you realize. I have seen 14 of her movies…but 0 in my DVD collection. Good feedback as always.
This is an abbreviated list due to the new system. Alicia is not on the Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 Center of the Hollywood Universe list. I am currently filling in the filmographies for the 90 or so newcomers that have made the new version of the list. These listings are for an earlier version where I had filled in the top 700 numbers that were already in my database. I told you numerous old timers returned to the list and I had their catalogues in along with some people I already had there but never made the list (Robert Taylor, Rex Harrison, Vera Miles and others). We will no longer quote the 2000 list since so many of those people reappeared like one of your favorites, Kathleen Freeman. Alicia may have more people but we won’t know till all has filled in. By the way Stan Lee fell off the list.
Here’s who Alicia matches to in the new 700 who were already in my database. Rankings are the new ones.

Thanks Dan. I am aware of everybody on the Vikander co-star list. I actually like that a lot….to me it makes the list even better? Sorry about Stan Lee falling off the list. I suspect her connections will rise as her career really gets going. As always….thanks for your effort.
This looks slightly different from other pages if only because it was done remotely from the road. Overall, I have seen 14 of her 15 movies. The one I have not seen is Submergence. I tbought she was very good in Tomb Raidet. Her best is yet to come.
