With the possible and worrisome exception of Adam Sandler, it seems like audiences are losing interest in practically every big-name actor out there. Hollywood needs some news stars. The last group they pushed on us just didn’t work out. Any reasonable reading of the star market would agree with these assessments:

Reese Witherspoon: falling

Russell Crowe: falling

Nicole Kidman: falling

Tom Hanks: falling

Nicolas Cage: free-fall

Julia Roberts: falling

Matthew McConaughey: flat to falling

Russell Brand: falling

Amanda Seyfried: flat

Megan Fox: falling

Matt Damon: flat to falling

Shia LaBoeuf: falling

Danny McBride: formerly hot, now turning flat

Jennifer Aniston: flat to falling

Jack Black: falling

Seth Rogen: flat

Colin Farrell: may have gotten back to flat after long fall

Sam Worthington: just didn’t pan out (see Colin Farrell)

Robert Pattinson: down to his last couple of chances (see Worthington and Farrell)

Gwyneth Paltrow: falling

Greg Kinnear: falling

Steve Carell: falling

Rachel Weisz: falling

Anna Faris: flat to falling

Who is still on the rise? Some of these will replace the above. Some won’t pan out:

Carey Mulligan

Anna Kendrick

Tom Hardy

Lizzie Olsen

Ryan Gosling

Kristen Wiig

Tina Fey

Natalie Portman

Anton Yelchin

Christina Hendricks

Ryan Reynolds

Mila Kunis

Emma Stone

Felicity Jones

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
