Scarlett Johansson’s latest blockbuster is now playing in theaters everywhere, and although reviews for the film have been middling, itscolossal opening weekend box office totalhas helped lift her into a special tier. Thanks toJurassic World Rebirthgrossing $318 million at the global box office on opening weekend, Johansson has now becomethe highest-grossing movie star in history. Her total now stands at $14.8 billion, ahead of the $14.6 billion from her Marvel co-starSamuel L. Jackson. Many names among the highest-grossing stars have the MCU’s success to thank for their lofty totals —Robert Downey Jr.,Zoe Saldaña, andChris Prattfill out the rest of the top five. Johansson is best known for her role asBlack Widowin the MCU, a role that has given her her top five highest-grossing films ever.
The five highest-grossing movies of Scarlett Johansson’s career areAvengers: Endgame($2.7 billion),Avengers: Infinity War($2 billion),The Avengers($1.5 billion),Avengers: Age of Ultron($1.4 billion), andCaptain America: Civil War($1.1 billion). The highest-grossing non-Marvel movie in her filmography isThe Jungle Book, the 2016 film where she plays Kaa. It fell just short of $1 billion, finishing its box office run at $951 million globally.Jurassic World Rebirthis poised to wrap up its theatrical run near the $1 billion mark, if not past it, which will make it tough for anyone to catch Johansson before the end of the year. However, with Saldaña floating closely behind andAvatar: Fire and Ashlooming this year, look for her name to rise in the ranks by the time 2025 is over.
