Hollywood star Sandra Bullock was the biggest draw at the U.S. box office in 2009, according to a new survey.
The actress appeared in three movies in the past 12 months - romantic comedy The Proposal, American football drama The Blind Side and comedy All About Steve.
The films proved to be most popular with theatregoers, with The Blind Side taking $193 million (£120.6 million) to date in North America alone.
Bullock's popularity put her ahead of actors like Johnny Depp and George Clooney in the annual list by Quigley Publishing Company, which collates various pieces of information from cinema owners across the U.S.
