Resume: Cristin Milioti

 

Welcome back for another Resume segment! This time we are looking at the filmography of one of LRF's newer leading ladies.... Cristin Milioti!



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
Total Profit: $11,138,439



Milioti started her LRF career with two films in Season 5. The first was Nocturne, a successful supernatural thriller. She played the wife of Jeremy Renner's lead character in the project, which score "just okay" reviews, but made a decent chunk of change at the box office.




The Life of the Party
Director: Steven Spielberg
Writer: Lon Charles


Budget: $48,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $44,412,008
Foreign Box Office: $59,651,181
Total Profit: $13,591,585



Next up for Milioti was a supporting role in Steven Spielberg's buzzy Fatty Arbuckle biopic. Milioti played Arbuckle's wife, silent film actress Minta Durfee. The film scored strong reviews - especially for Stonestreet as Arbuckle - but only managed one GRA nomination for Best Production Design.



SEASON 11
Newbury Street
Director: Todd Field
Writer: Lon Charles


Budget: $30,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $55,399,541
Foreign Box Office: $30,701,222
Total Profit: $17,484,327



After a handful of seasons away, Milioti returned in Season 11 with another supporting role opposite Matt Damon in the acclaimed crime drama Newbury Street. She played the wife/victim of Damon's character. The film was nominated for six GRA awards - winning one for Best Actor (Damon).



SEASON 16
The Kiss Quotient
Director: Lulu Wang
Writer: Rosie JoLove


Budget: $23,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $10,971,409
Foreign Box Office: $9,718,003
Total Profit: -$22,559,097



After a handful of supporting roles, Milioti finally was given her first leading role in an LRF production. Unfortunately it didn't go as well as her supporting films did - The Love Quotient was slammed by critics and lost over $22 million.



SEASON 24
The Flash #2
Director:   Jonathan Levine
Writer:   Chad Taylor


Budget: $173,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $245,075,893
Foreign Box Office: $297,488,041
Total Profit: $209,480,888



Milioti hit the big time with a supporting villain turn in The Flash #2, the second film to feature the Scarlet Speedster on LRF screens. Critics were positive toward the film and it made a nice DC-sized chunk of change. 



SEASON 28
Task Force X: Jungleland
Director:  Guy Ritchie
Writer:  Jimmy Ellis


Budget: $180,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $291,485,040
Foreign Box Office: $318,583,995
Total Profit: $200,105,777



Milioti was back a few seasons later reprising her Golden Glider role from The Flash #2 in the villain team-up film Task Force X: Jungleland. It was another hit at the box office for the DC Comics Universe and Cristin Milioti.



SEASON 32
Patient Zero
Director:    S. Craig Zahler
Writer:    Matt Parker


Budget: $33,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $23,095,599
Foreign Box Office: $55,190,239
Total Profit: $13,567,402



In Season 32, Cristin Milioti was back in a leading role in the zombie thriller Patient Zero. While critics were fairly lukewarm (leaning slightly positive) to the film, it was pretty successful at the box office - almost cancelling out the losses of The Kiss Quotient.



SEASON 34
Starlight
Director: Todd Haynes
Writer: Chad Taylor


Budget: $56,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $90,243,797
Foreign Box Office: $30,104,495
Total Profit: $10,449,060



Cristin Milioti was back in another supporting capacity and once again it was a critically acclaimed production. Starlight managed to win the GRA trophy for Best Starring Couple (Jennifer Lawrence & Sydney Sweeney) with 6 additional nominations, including Best Picture.
