I hate how box office failures are blamed on an actress, yet I don’t see a box office failure blamed on men. I think a lot of the time in films, men get roles where they create their own destiny and women are just tools, supporters for that. I guess it’s because we live in a patriarchal society, where feminism is a dirty word.

Ellen Page

To be quite honest, numbers don't tell you everything because audience reactions differ. Some of the biggest films at the box office are not necessarily films that everyone has loved, they just opened to a good response.

Aamir Khan

The effort always remains that my new film outdoes my last in terms of performance and gets better box office success. Box office is the sole reason why I do films.

Emraan Hashmi

Films of stars as well non stars are working at the box office. People look out for content driven films.

Jeetendra

I hate how box-office failures are blamed on an actress, yet I don't see a box-office failure blamed on men.

I've been able to make some wonderful films, but sometimes you make films with great passion - great belief - and these films slightly don't work at the box office, and they become your favorite films.

Yash Chopra

Some filmmakers make films to please themselves and a handful of critics, so they get 5-star reviews but their films don't run at the box office. I make films for the masses.

Sajid Khan

Films have been my only passion in life. I have always been proud of making films and will continue taking pride in all my films. I have never made a movie I have not believed in. However, though I love all my films, one tends to get attached to films that do well. But I do not have any regrets about making films that did not really do well at the box office.

Yash Chopra

Failure at the box office of some of my earlier films led to a lack of opportunity to play main lead in good films.

Dia Mirza

I didn't know box office was a thing you could possess but I don't have it. I go up for lovely roles and people with this nebulous thing called box office get them so there isn't much I can do about that unless you know where I can get some box-office myself!

Olivia Williams

At times I do feel that there is some issue with child actors because in all my films my performance has been appreciated but the films have not created magic at the box office.

Kunal Khemu

As an actor, you're always told that your career needs box-office numbers.

Kartik Aaryan

I know it's easy to say the box-office numbers doesn't matter, but the reality is it actually does.

Mahira Khan

Women were real box office stars in the '40s, more so than men. People loved to see women's films. I think it was better then, except for the studio system.

Gwyneth Paltrow

In Quebec, we're less inhibited artistically, culturally, politically. We're less focused on box office and comparing our films to the American films.
