Top 10 Demi Moore Highest Earning Movies In Her Acting Career

I vividly recall Demi Moore’s brief appearance on the well-liked “General Hospital” back in the heyday of the 1980s soap operas. It was clear from her unusual gravelly voice, movie star beauty, and assertive demeanor that she would achieve greater success and that the small screen couldn’t hold her.

Demi Moore has dominated the box office. She’s had a successful, extended career in Hollywood. These are her very greatest movies, according to Rotten Tomatoes.

Ghost (1990)

Demi Moore portrays Molly Jensen, a woman whose husband (Patrick Swayze) is killed, in what is arguably her most well-known portrayal to date. With the aid of a psychic, his ghost is still present to assist her in getting out of the peril she is in. Whoopi Goldberg, who won the Best Supporting Actress award for the role of Oda Mae Brown, played the character.

Oh, my love, my sweetheart, how I’ve been craving your touch. Anyone who has watched “Ghost” can’t hear this song without immediately conjuring up one of the hottest movie scenes in memory: Molly (Moore) and Sam (Patrick Swayze) seated at the pottery wheel. One-of-a-kind movie “Ghost” combines mystery, romance, comedy, and the paranormal.

When Sam is killed, he transforms into a ghost and uses psychic Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg, who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA awards) to warn his cherished Molly of impending peril. Despite the ridiculous and cheesy narrative, Moore gives one of her best performances, portraying the heartbroken Molly with vulnerability and plausibility.

The film later got Best Picture nominations for the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, and BAFTAs (very uncommon for a “supernatural” picture), and Moore was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance. The movie ended up being the highest-grossing movie of 1990, and with inflation adjustments, it ranks as the 104th-highest-grossing movie of all time.

When Sam’s spirit returns to Molly and ultimately says “I love you,” Moore’s tear-stained face and “ditto” response in that iconic husky voice earned her place in film history as one of the best tearjerker sequences.

The supernatural romantic melodrama Ghost (1990), which earned over US$505 million at the box office and was the highest-grossing movie of the year, is Moore’s most popular work to date.

A Few Good Men (1992)

Hotshot attorney Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) is granted the case in this suspenseful courtroom thriller in which two Marines are charged with the murder of a fellow private. Despite the fact that Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway (Moore), a Naval investigator and attorney, wants to defend them, Kaffee is known for plea bargaining.

In a primarily male all-star cast that also features Jack Nicholson, Kevin Bacon, Kevin Pollack, and Kiefer Sutherland, Moore once again portrays a strong woman who can hold her own. The box office hit “A Few Good Men” was nominated for five Golden Globes and four Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Demi Moore received $2 million for her performance in this dramatic courtroom drama, while her personal trainer received $22,000.

About Last Night. . . (1986)

In this love story, Debbie (Moore) and Danny (Rob Lowe) have a romance that starts as a one-night stand but develops into each of their first devoted relationships. Eventually, they move in together, but they are still young, have never shared a home with a partner, and each has a friend who is determined to ruin the union.

Over the course of the movie, Moore goes from young and infatuated to serious and heartbroken. Even Roger Ebert gave it four out of four stars and praised Moore’s performance, which proved to be a turning point in her career and led to bigger opportunities. It was a box financial and critical triumph.

St. Elmo’s Fire (1985)

In this coming-of-age drama, Moore co-stars alongside “Brat Packers” Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Mare Winningham, and Andrew McCarthy as seven friends who have just graduated from college and are adjusting to adulthood. Dramas including failed relationships, unrequited love, and employment difficulties play out. These are all aspects of “adulting” that are challenging. Moore plays Jules, the vivacious party girl who appears to have it all together but whose life is actually a complete mess.

She has a breakdown when everything falls apart, telling Billy (Lowe), “I never thought I’d be this tired at 22.” The characters in the movie “St. Elmo’s Fire” received negative reviews for being too whiny and performing poorly at the box office.

Indecent Proposal (1993)

If a stranger offered you a million dollars for a single night of bed-sharing, would you accept? When this smash hit began playing in 1993, that was the question that everyone had. When millionaire John Gage (Robert Redford) intrudes into the life of married couple David (Woody Harrelson and Moore) and Diana (Moore), they learn the repercussions of accepting such an offer. John Gage is offering them “easy money” to launch a business initiative. Despite the fact that most critics were not as taken with the idea as the public was, the movie has become part of our popular culture, with numerous television programs making references to it.

Robert Redford, Demi Moore, and Woody Harrelson are its main actors. Despite the generally unfavorable reviews, it was a box office hit.

Margin Call (2011)

In this suspenseful drama, a sizable Wall Street investment bank battles to survive at the start of the 2007–2008 financial crisis. A risk analyst discovers a financial catastrophe during a 24-hour period, forcing senior management to scramble for a fix before the next morning.

Sarah Robertson, the chief risk management officer, is scapegoated in the ensuing commotion as Moore. With Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Simon Baker, Stanley Tucci, Zachary Quinto, and Penn Badgley among the stellar ensemble cast, she stands out. The screenplay of the movie has been nominated for an Oscar and has garnered favorable reviews.

G.I. Jane (1997)

Lieutenant Jordan O’Neil (Moore) is chosen to serve as the test subject in an experiment to see if she can handle the training because a female senator pushes for the Navy to be more inclusive of women. O’Neil is knocked down by her training officer and the media since everyone expects her to fail, but she persists and, in the end, gains respect.

The movie did poorly with reviews and only fairly well at the box office. Moore, however, showed that she was not scared to embrace a hard job by giving the part her all, including shaving her head.

Demi’s enormous $11 million pay, which she accepted despite the movie’s commercial failure, was also included in Jane’s budget. She may have received a good salary for her on-screen time, but it was obvious that the real cost was.

Disclosure (1994)

Over her ex-boyfriend Tom (Michael Douglas), Meredith (Moore) is promoted, and she takes advantage of the opportunity to make overtures toward him sexually. When he rejects her, she falsely reports that he made overtures toward her in a complaint.

Moore plays a superb femme fatale in what follows, an intense erotic thriller. She acts without regret and only wants revenge; yet, she is given what she deserves.

Now and Then (1995)

Some of the greatest teen and adult actresses of the time appear in this coming-of-age movie. Moore, Melanie Griffith, Rosie O’Donnell, and Rita Wilson play the four friends who get together to celebrate a pregnancy. The majority of the movie flashes back to the four ladies as preteens as they reminisce about the fateful summer when they made a promise to always be there for one another (played by Gaby Hoffman, Thora Birch, Christina Ricci, and Ashleigh Aston Moore).

Moore’s character Samantha narrates the story even though she only appears in the movie for a brief period of time at the beginning and the conclusion. Her unusual gravelly voice is ideal for the “strange girl” Samantha who grows up to be a cynical writer with commitment issues. The movie received poor reviews from critics, but moviegoers adored it, and it is still popular with people who like sentimental movies. In the flashbacks, Rumer Willis, Moore’s real-life daughter, played his younger sister Samantha.

The 1995 coming-of-age drama Now and Then had a mediocre box office performance. In 1996, Moore received a then-record-breaking remuneration of US$12.5 million to play the lead.

Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle (2003)

The plot is complicated and the computer-generated special effects are over the top, but this second “Charlie’s Angels” picture features some terrific cameos and is just plain entertaining. One of the best parts of the film is Moore’s portrayal of the evil Madison Lee, a former angel who is now hellbent on retaliation after being expelled from the agency. Moore’s acting isn’t particularly strong in this scene, but she really doesn’t need to. She can kick the asses of ladies ten years younger than her and is just as gorgeous in a bikini at 40 as she was at 20, demonstrating that women beyond 40 are still formidable opponents.
