Box Office Poison?

So YouTuber Grace Randolph (who I hate with all my heart) believes that Emily Blunt can't bring an audience into theaters to see her films.
In the intro to her review of Sicario, she said that most of her movies have had 'bad box office':

Most of her movies lately (The Adjustment Bureau, Looper, Edge of Tomorrow, Into the Woods, etc.) have at least been profitable, so I wouldn't say any of them flopped by any means.
If you ask me, I think the era of the 'box office star' is really starting to die down. Sometimes you have a hit, sometimes you don't, you can't have a home run every time.
So what do you guys think? -

Yeah, but the thing is, actors like Ryan Reynolds keep having flop films, yet he still gets good film roles. And she really hasn't had a lot of lead rolesthe ones she has had seem to be mainly in indie films, anyway,

I actually feel like she's just becoming a true leading lady. Most of the films that get mentioned are usually someone elses starring role. You could argue she was one of th5b4e main stars of Into the Woods, although that film had more than one pretty heavy hitter in it with Meryl Streep. Still the film did quite well. Sicario is the film that will give me a real idea of where she really stands.

I just thought I'd give this thread a bump.
So in a recent video, Grace Randolph (who I really want to punch in the face) once again says Emily Blunt keeps people away from the movies she's in.
What do you guys think?

P.S.
If you happen to disagree with Grace, would you mind commenting letting her know how much of a beep idiot she is? -

She isn't yet a big name for people to be a ticket-seller, but I wouldn't say "box office poison". She'd have to be more well known in order for people to decide whether to see her in a film she's in or not. If she's popular and yet people still don't see the films she's in, then "box office poison" would be appropriate, but not yet.
I kinda don't go see her videos, to be honest with you. She said that Reese Witherspoon, one of the biggest actors of all time, is no longer the star she once was:

It's just different tastes. I have always been happy not everyone thought the same thing was beautiful, delicious, boring etc.

I would watch anything with her in it. But that's just me.
It's got nothing to do with her accent. I hear English accents on a regular basis as I live in the UK. Her accent is just normal to me.
I like the way she carries herself. Her face, her expressions. If she was someone I met in real life, I would definitely try to get a date with her or chat her up. -

In fact it
s quite normal that many people find Emily Blunt boring and a box office poison. Nowadays everyone working in show business has to make his/her private life a reality show if they want to be in top box office list. Fake sexual scandals, drug scandals, fake marriages, fake secret relationships, fake scoops and fake "unwanted" paparazzi photos. Just a few of them choose not to make their private life a freak show. So thats why fans of freak shows don`t understand why some people like artists for their performances not for their contribution in gossip magazines.
