Last year, this year (and next year, too), a Saw movie opened at number one. Saw IV hauled in $31.7 million. That's a smidge less than Saw III, but still more than Saw II.

It's been almost a decade since Josh Hartnett arrived on the scene, but to look at him, you sure wouldn't know it. He still looks a lot like the football hero next door: a sort of perpetual Gen Y version of a younger Harrison Ford.

Yet, the comic star of this week's The Heartbreak Kid has quietly / not-so quietly amassed a whopping $1.38 billion in world-wide receipts, with an endless string of box office hits.
