Nora Ephron Box Office: ‘Sleepless In Seattle,’ ‘You’ve Got Mail’ And Her Biggest Hits (PHOTOS)

June 27th, 2012

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Nora Ephron was one of the most successful female filmmakers of all time. All told, her directorial efforts — eight films, starting with “This Is My Life” in 1992 and continuing through “Julie Julia” in 2009 — earned over $510 million in domestic ticket sales. Ephron, who died on June 26 at the age of 71 after a battle with leukemia, was also the screenwriter behind the romcom hit “When Harry Met Sally.”

Suffice it to say, she left an indelible mark on Hollywood — both as an influence and a businesswoman.

Below, remember Ephron’s largely successful career. Add your own remembrances of her and what she meant to the industry as a whole in the comments section below.

‘This Is My Life’

Ephron’s directorial debut focused on the relationship between a stand-up comic (Julie Kavner) and her two daughters. Ephron co-wrote the script with her sister, Deila. The film was based on the memoir by Meg Wolitzer. “This is My Life” earned just strong$2.9 million/strong at the box office, despite being sold as “from the writer of ‘When Harry Met Sally.'”
‘Sleepless in Seattle’

Ephron made a huge splash with her second film, “Sleepless in Seattle.” The blockbuster romcom earned strong$126 million/strong in the U.S. and $227 million around the globe.
‘Mixed Nuts’

Ephron brought together an all-star cast — Steve Martin, Madeline Kahn, Rob Reiner, Rita Wilson, Juliette Lewis, Parker Posey, Jon Stewart, Adam Sandler — for this Christmas-set dramedy. Unfortunately, “Mixed Nuts” only grossed strong$6.8 million/strong in the U.S.
‘Michael’

Ephron’s up and down career hit an upswing with “Michael.” The comedy, about an angel (John Travolta) on Earth, grossed strong$95 million/strong. It was the 16th highest grossing movie released in 1996.
‘You’ve Got Mail’

From one hit to another. Ephron’s “You’ve Got Mail” — a favorite romcom for many people, including Mindy Kaling — reunited Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks from “Sleepless in Seattle” and almost reached that film’s financial heights. The film grossed strong$115 million/strong, making it the second biggest film of Ephron’s career.
‘Lucky Numbers’

While “You’ve Got Mail” proved to be a lucrative reunion for Ephron, “Lucky Numbers” — which brought her back together with “Michael” star John Travolta — was not. It earned only strong$10 million/strong at the box office. Coincidentally or not, it was the first film Ephron directed without writing.
‘Bewitched’

Despite being somewhat reviled, “Bewitched” — an update of the popular television series — earned strong$63 million/strong at the box office.
‘Julie Julia’

Ephron’s final film was another in a string of summer hits for star Meryl Streep. While it didn’t gross as much as “The Devil Wears Prada” or “Mamma Mia,” “Julie Julia” did earn strong$94 million/strong in the U.S. and over $129 million worldwide.
