Scarlett Johansson Shatters Records: How She Hit $14.6 Billion Box Office

Scarlett Johansson has officially become the highest-grossing actress in film history, according to data from The Numbers. With the release of the latest Jurassic World installment, the total box office revenue of movies featuring Johansson has reached an impressive $14.614 billion worldwide.

This figure includes both live-action films in which Johansson starred and animated movies where she lent her voice, such as the Sing duology, which alone grossed over $1 billion. The statistics from The Numbers also reveal that Johansson has surpassed top male actors in box office earnings. Among them are Samuel L. Jackson, whose films have grossed $14.605 billion, and Robert Downey Jr., with $14.315 billion. These rankings are based on leading roles played by the actors and actresses.

Despite Johansson’s new record, Zoe Saldana is expected to reclaim the top spot soon. Her total box office earnings currently stand at $14.233 billion, and with the upcoming release of Avatar 3 scheduled for 2025, this number is anticipated to rise significantly.

Johansson’s achievement highlights her remarkable career and enduring popularity across diverse genres and franchises. Her success also reflects the growing impact of female actors in blockbuster cinema, challenging traditional box office records and reshaping industry dynamics.
