Yes, she commands millions per movie (around $12-15 million) — and she’s worth every penny, according to US Weekly’s film critic. Thelma Adams says of Angelina Jolie,

“Overall, she is worth the millions that she’s paid. She really is a good actress, and one of the sexiest women alive. Plus, she’s got the kids and Brad Pitt — she’s a triple word score!”

So true! If her acting can’t command attention for her movies, then her much-celebrated life will! And Angelina Jolie‘s animated movie Kung Fu Panda just knocked Sex and the City out of first place this weekend, raking in $60 million. Her last film Beowulf, which opened in November, was also No. 1 with $28 million in earnings. This just balances out the paltry $9 million earnings (domestic) for her critically acclaimed movie A Mighty Heart. Ms. Adams adds,

“Right now, she could have a cameo in a video and get tons of attention. Kung Fu Panda would have made a ton of money either way — it was such a huge family film — but it wouldn’t have broken a sweat in Cannes except for Angelina Jolie on the carpet pregnant with twins.”
