Mel Gibson a potential box-office draw despite abuse allegations: Poll

Irrespective of being under fire for abuse allegations by ex-girlfriend, Mel Gibson is still as popular as he was earlier, suggests a new poll.

In the poll, conducted by Vanity Fair magazine and CBS's "60 Minutes," 847 adults were asked if they were less likely to see a Gibson film in the wake of the accusations.

According to Entertainment Weekly, 80% of male participants and 72% of the women who responded said they were not, reports the New York Post.

An accompanying online poll found 62% of responders saying they were no less likely to see a movie starring Gibson.

However, only 20% said they were less likely to see a movie starring Gibson because of allegations of abuse by Oksana Grigorieva.

In the wake of Grigorieva's accusations it was speculated that Gibson might never work in Hollywood again.
