Clooney is also the most obvious analogue to Pitt as someone who can get a movie with a decent budget made (or at least up until recently could) based far more on Clout than on consistent box office.

I do think that we're not in some sort of 'never again' movie star scenario though - it'll work differently than it has in the past but fully believe there is a generational switchover which will eventually lead us to a whole lot of new gen. top draws.

Side thought - do we consider Daniel Craig to be a Pitt-level star at this point? With all that Bond boost, he certainly helped make the first Knives Out a big success.
