For this edition of Resume, we will take a look at the filmography of Patient Zero star Cristin Milioti, who is getting her biggest starring vehicle to date....


Season 5

Nocturne

Director: Reed Morano

Writer: Clive Steinbeck

Budget: $56,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $73,695,037

Foreign Box Office: $65,801,678

Milioti's LRF debut came in Season 5 when she portrayed the wife of the male lead, played by Jeremy Renner, in this moderately successful supernatural thriller.

Domestic Box Office: $44,412,008

Milioti did not wait long for a second LRF role, appearing later in Season 5 in a supporting role in Spielberg's Fatty Arbuckle biopic. Like Nocturne, the film was moderately successful at the box office. This one was better regarded with critics though, and managed one GRA nomination.

Budget: $30,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $55,399,541

Foreign Box Office: $30,701,222

After a handful of seasons away, Milioti returned in a supporting role opposite Matt Damon in the dark crime drama Newbury Street. The film was another smaller box office success, but a bigger hit with critics and GRA voters - securing one GRA trophy (Matt Damon for Best Actor) along with five additional nominations.



Season 16

The Kiss Quotient

Director: Lulu Wang

Budget: $23,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $10,971,409

Foreign Box Office: $9,718,003

After three successful films in a row, Milioti's next was her first leading role for LRF - a dud with critics and audiences alike - becoming the first flop on the actress' resume.

Domestic Box Office: $245,075,893

Milioti next appeared as a villain in the well-received Flash sequel, making her first DC Comics Universe appearance. The film was a hit at the box office, and even earned a Best Production Design GRA nomination.



Season 28

Just a few seasons later, Milioti returned as Golden Glider for a second DC Comics Universe appearance. Like Flash #2, the project was a mega-hit at the box office and was well-liked by critics as well (no GRA nomination this time around though).
