Sandra Bullock Makes Box Office History

Sandra Bullock has rung in the new year making box office history - beating female stars Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie and Reese Witherspoon.

Variety reports that Bullock's The Blind Side became the first film in history driven solely by a top female star to jump the US$200 million mark at the US domestic box office.

No previous films in which Bullock had top solo billing have reached $200 million, nor have any of the solo starring efforts of the likes of Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie or Reese Witherspoon.

It doesn't end there thoguh. Bullock had a great year at the box office. She starred in the romantic comedy The Proposal in 2009 which became her second highest-grossing movie of all-time taking in a great $163 million in the US with a total of $314 million worldwide.

Congrats to Sandra for all the success!
