#13 The Heat
Original Release Date: June 28, 2013
Box Office Earnings: Worldwide, The Heat collected $229.9 million. A huge jump from the two films we have taken a look at so far! This movie was released in 2013, so a lot more factors in its winnings. From the $229.9 million, $159.5 are domestic, while the rest comes from overseas.
Critical Acclaim: A comedy most critics can agree on! At Rotten Tomatoes, The Heat scored 65% and an Audience Score of 71%. At the American Comedy Awards, Melissa McCarthy won Best Comedy Actress. The movie also received various nominations across the Teen Choice Awards, Critics’ Choice Awards, and the Golden Trailer Awards. Some of these nominations include Choice Summer Movie Comedy, Best Comedy Movie, and Choice Movie: Hissy Fit. Sandra Bullock won the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Comedic Movie Actress.
About the Role: Sandra Bullock stars as FBI agent Sarah Ashburn. She’s not very popular in her department due to her egotistical attitude. But when reluctantly paired with detective Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy), both women learn a lot about themselves.
Simply the Best: Bullock’s role in The Heat is a refreshing break from her romantic comedies. It’s always great to see our favorite actors have a little fun, and comedian Melissa McCarthy is the perfect choice to do that.
