Last year, the media and social networks reported that Stallone set an unusual record: films with his participation became the leaders of the rental in six decades in a row. We decided to check if there was an actor who set such a record earlier.

In August 2021, Russian and foreign sites began to write about this news, and then it spread along social networks. Posts and news notes that the performer of roles of Rocky and Rambo became the first actor with whom the films with the first places in the charts of the film distribution in six decades in a row are on DTF, "Poster", "Canobe" And "Picabu". On VKontakte posts about the record collected tens of thousands of views (examples here And here). Achievement is also mentioned on the page of Stallone in "Wikipedia".

On some resources, the authors did not understand what was talking about and wrote about something else. For example, in the heading on the website wi-fi.ru Stallone They called it “The most“ cash ”actor in the history of cinema.” The text says the following: “For 60 years, he became the most profitable actor, the first in case of cash fees. Records beat 20 out of 46 paintings with his participation. ” On the site "Popkornnews" too Reportedthat the actor became the most Kassov “after 60 years of career”, and in the publication “Interesting Facts” toldthat films with Stallone took first place "in terms of views."

The source of the news was the Deadline Hollywood website - one of the most authoritative and well -known resources about cinema. On August 12, 2021 Published There is an exclusive article with the heading "Sylvester Stallone films with his participation knocked out rivals in the box office for six decades in a row." Below is our full translation of the text.

After the film “Suicide Squad: The Mission of the Poppers” rose in the charts of the box office in the last weekend, I conducted calculations. Sylvester Stallone did what many leading actors cannot boast of. Now Stallone, who played King Shark in the picture of the director James Gann, appeared in the number one rental films for six decades in a row. During this time, 46 films came out with Stallon, and 20 of them occupied the first line in the charts. The following are listed for some films in six decades.

Here's how the decades are presented in the filmography of Stallone:

1970s: Rocky (1976);
1980s: Rocky-3 (1982), "Rambo: First Blood" (1982);
1990s: "Scalolas" (1993);
2000: "Racer" (2001);
2010s: "Unrealistic" (2010);
2020s: "Suicide detachment: Mission to drive through" (2021).

Stallone himself in his social networks was very happy about such an achievement. He posted the screenshot of the article by Deadline and thanked James Gann, in the film of which he voiced the speaking anthropomorphic shark Nanaaue. And on the set of the character the role of the character Performed Actor Steve Aiji, who also played John Enonomos in the same picture.

The whole essence of the achievement was that in every decade, from 1970s to 2020s, there is a film with Stallon, who took first place in the cash charts for the weekend. And it was, apparently, it was only about North American rental (Canada and USA). As you can see, in the text there are no references to either the record or the fact that Stallone was the first to achieve such a cash result, nor the mention of profitability or the number of views. In authoritative English -speaking media, this news was mainly retold without records of records.

We checked the list of Deadline, and all the mentioned projects really took first place. For verification, an authoritative site with a database of Box Office Mojo was used. Since the reports of the box office in modern form appeared Closer to the end of the 1970s-beginning of the 1980s, to check more old paintings, we used the weekly reports of Variety magazine.

We also note that in the filmography of Slya, as Stallone is often called, there are also paintings that slightly showed themselves at the box office (for example, the “racer”). This applies to some of the twenty that became one number. So many films have no records, as stated on some sites. Yes, and the film career of Stallone is not 60 years old, it began a little over 50 years ago. Also “Suicide Squad: Mission I drive through” to the first American weekend Collected a little more than $ 26 million, and more than $ 70 million at that time was around the world. But all this applies only to the ineffective mistakes of the above Russian -speaking publications.

Now regarding the main question: was there an actor with a similar achievement before Slah? IN comments Under the article by Deadline, they remembered Harrison Ford, but in the context that he will soon only repeat the achievement of Stallone. In the 1960s, paintings with the participation of Ford could not become the leaders of the rental, and the film “Call of the Ancestors” (2020) is very little It remained To the first place in the top, but above the second line he never rose. However, for 2023 Planned The release of the fifth part of the Indiana Jones movie series, which, according to forecasts, can become very successful in the box office. By the way, Ford was also mentioned in some Russian -speaking publications.

We also checked the filmography of Dustin Hoffman, also mentioned in the comments. And this actor fits on all points, only he reached the result of Stallone back in the 2010s. Below are examples of films with the participation of Hoffman, which have become one box office of the weekend, for every decade (we added a couple of animated films, since Stallone also only voiced the king of sharks):
