What gibberish. Clooney, Pill, and Damon are the real stars of those
films. They're the central figures of the plot. You can switch the
other guys out and it won't make much difference, but you lose one of
those guys, and the franchise would have suffered.
And Brad Pitt has a few hits. Most notably, FIGHT CLUB. You might have
also heard of SE7EN. That one's pretty famous. And there's TWELVE
MONKEYS, for which he received an Academy Award nomination (he might
have actually won it; I don't remember).

But, state-side, it was released to only 66 theaters.
