BOX OFFICE BILLIONAIRE

Scarlett Johansson Becomes Hollywood’s All-Time Highest Grossing Actor

The “Jurassic World Rebirth” star has broken a box office record to become the highest grossing lead actor in Hollywood.

Scarlett Johansson has broken a box office record to become Hollywood’s all-time highest grossing lead actor with her latest role in Jurassic Park Rebirth, surpassing her Marvel colleagues Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel L. Jackson. Johansson’s starring role in the latest dinosaur blockbuster grossed $318 million globally in its first six days, giving her a lifetime box office total of $14.8 billion in films where she played the lead role either solo or as part of an ensemble. Over half ($8.7 billion) of that total comes from her role as Natasha Romanov, a.k.a. Black Widow in the Marvel Avengers films and Captain America: Civil War, with her starring role as Ash the porcupine in the two animated Sing films by Dreamworks also adding significantly to the tally. Of the five top grossing actors only Tom Hanks has not appeared in a Marvel film, with Downey Jr., Jackson and fellow Jurassic World alumni Chris Pratt also making up the list. Jackson was the previous record-holder with a lifetime gross of $14.6 billion, with his role as Frozone in the two Incredibles films counting as a lead performance which significantly boosted his tally.
