Note: Films released during the selected year influence the following year's rankings.

At this point in the rankings, Robert De Niro versus Julia Roberts is best read as a compact career snapshot rather than an all-time verdict. Elite Top 10 presence favors Robert De Niro, whose advantage across Top 10 seasons gives the comparison more long-range context.

The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Julia Roberts's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. The comparison therefore points leans toward Robert De Niro, with the most meaningful separation coming from the highlighted career measures.
