In a theater.
Matt Belloni of Puck News and The Ringer wrote an article on his site yesterday about a new study by NRG (National Research Group) that is circling around Hollywood with top studio executives. NRG is a top research firm in entertainment and tech. Somehow, Puck News got its hand on the results of this. The study asked people to name up to 5 actors they would most want to watch in a movie theater. The Puck News article is behind a paywall with the top 100 actors ranked, but the top 20 actors from the study has made its way online. Credit to eopanga on AwardsWorthy for posting this:

The big takeaway: The stars who matter to moviegoers are old, and getting older. Only one of the Top 20 actors named in the study is under 40—and Chris Hemsworth, at No. 20, will celebrate his big 4-0 in August. Here’s the full list. Remember, respondents were asked to name stars that made them most likely to go to the theater:
1. Tom Cruise
2. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
3. Tom Hanks
4. Brad Pitt
5. Denzel Washington
6. Julia Roberts
7. Will Smith
8. Leonardo DiCaprio
9. Johnny Depp
10. Kevin Hart
11. Keanu Reeves
12. Sandra Bullock
13. Ryan Reynolds
14. Adam Sandler
15. Harrison Ford
16. George Clooney
17. Robert Downey, Jr.
18. Angelina Jolie
19. Morgan Freeman
20. Chris Hemsworth
Yeah. Reads for the most part like an Oscar party guest list from 20 years ago, right? No Zendaya. No Jennifer Lawrence. No Chalamet or Holland or Michael B. Jordan, or anyone Hollywood has anointed a movie star in the past decade. The average age of this crew is 57.5 years old. Only four of them are in their 40s. Two are in their 80s. It’s almost like when people think theaters, they think throwback, meaning they stopped recognizing actors as theatrical draws after Thor came out in 2011.
