Can a good movie become popular without famous stars?

I say yes because can anyone name an actual modern hollywood star? Someone whose name is enough to draw crowds to see their latest movie? I can't think of anyone except maybe Tom Cruise. The "hollywood star" is a relic of 20th century culture.

Modern hollywood is on life support. They know we know that they thrive in a culture of pedophilic con men, and that they refuse to change their culture while preaching moral superiority.

Per their own viewership data, middle America, their primary audience, has practically abandonded them since COVID. With their addiction to social media and inability to shut the fuck up about identity politics, actors have really alienated themselves from the average working American. They are simply not relevent to us in the internet era like they were to our parents and grandparents.
