Scarlett Johansson has securely etched her name at the pinnacle of Hollywood's highest-grossing lead actors, propelled by the resounding triumph of her latest cinematic venture, "Jurassic World Rebirth." The film soared to astronomical heights, amassing over $318 million worldwide during its debut weekend, thereby elevating Johansson to the zenith of the box office hierarchy with a staggering career tally of $14.8 billion.
The star of "Fly Me To The Moon" has outstripped her fellow Marvel superstars Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr., who now find themselves trailing in second and third place, respectively. Jackson, with 71 films under his belt, and Downey Jr., who boasts 45, stand at a lifetime box office gross of $14.6 billion and $14.3 billion, respectively. Remarkably, Johansson has accomplished this milestone with a relatively leaner filmography of just 36 titles, testament to the immense impact of her roles.
Johansson's ascendancy is underpinned by her unforgettable portrayals within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, notably as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in "Avengers: Endgame," which garnered $2.7 billion, and "Avengers: Infinity War," which raked in $2 billion. Her other notable box office smashes include "The Jungle Book" ($951 million), "Sing" ($631 million), and "Lucy" ($457 million).
At the youthful age of 40, Johansson remains an indispensable Hollywood icon, her career promising boundless potential for further growth. "Jurassic World Rebirth" is poised to maintain its formidable momentum, further cementing Johansson's status as Hollywood's leading lady in terms of box office earnings.
