Sandra Bullock has become the first A-list actress to lead a film past $200 million at the US box office.
Bullock's latest film, sports drama The Blind Side, has pulled in $208.5 million since its release seven weeks ago. Her recent romantic comedy The Proposal was also a box office favourite, taking in $163 million in North America last summer.
Julia Roberts's Erin Brockovich and Meryl Streep's The Devil Wears Prada trail behind The Blind Side with US grosses of $125.6 million and $124.7 million respectively.
"And we're not even done. I think Blind Side has another $30 million left," Warner Bros's Dan Fellman told Variety.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which scored $241 million in US ticket sales in 2002, is the only other female-driven movie to break the $200 million mark.
