“Caught Stealing” opens at third place behind a rerelease of Jaws (1975). Do you think Austin is a movie star or just hype?
Hype, hype, and hype.

There are no more movie stars.

The film also stars the uncharismatic Zoe Kravitz. Austin had his moment with Elvis and Dune 2. I don’t think he’s a movie star.

Maybe there would be if Hollywood would FIND some instead of forcing the likes of Austin Butler and Glen Powell on us. They wouldn’t be movie stars in any decade.

Hollywood is in a rut. For young stars, we have Timothee, Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney and Tom Holland.
For middle aged stars, we have Emma Stone, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, the Rock, etc.
Drab!

The only real star honestly on your list r5 is the Rock and maybe Zendaya.

Agreed, r6.
Emily Blunt? FFS.
She’s cold and sly. A character actress whose primary character is smug bitch.

The studio clearly didn’t have a lot of confidence in Caught Stealing. They dumped it on the last weekend in August. Having said that, he definitely can’t put asses on seats. He had no IP or other big name stars to help him out. This was his name alone. The studio also promoted it well enough. People knew it existed and was Labor Day weekend programming.

It shows how that genre (urban crime caper) is completely played out. The preview made it look like the same old story of someone who gets beat up by gang members due to mistaken identity. Not appealing.
I'm impressed that Weapons has done so well. It shows how imagination and creativity in a horror film can win the day. It's more of what audiences want - something fresh.
But for Austin, this shows he can't open a film on his own. Under $10 million over 4 days is a flop.

I really enjoyed Caught Stealing, and thought Butler was great in it. As long as he can stay at the top of directors’ wish lists, he’ll be fine.

Yeah, this guy is all hype. Absolutely. No doubt about it.

I'm not a Matt Damon fan but he's more of a movie star than the other people mentioned, r6/r7

Like Chris Rock once said in 2005: "There are only 4 or 5 REAL MOVIE STARS. The rest of you are just POPULAR PEOPLE".

R15, forgive my compromised sense of humour, but Jude Law is one of our finest actor.

He’s a pornstar that’s what he is. A pornstar and sometime famous actor.

R14, Matt Damon is actually an "old school" star. Aside from that, the whole point of r5's list is precisely that Hollywood can't create stars anymore.

You get to realize how desperate is Hollywood to get "new movie stars" that the dull blonde teen boy who was cast to replace Chase from "Zoey 101" on its last season is now being pushed to the exhaustion as a the new IT boy.
