Resource Box Office Mojo, which tracks box office receipts from showing films in movie theaters, has ranked the highest-grossing movie stars in movie history. It included 50 Hollywood actors and actresses. And so who ended up in the top 10.
Scarlett Johansson
Most brought the tape: "The Avengers" (623.4 million dollars)
The black widow managed to become the highest grossing female movie star of all time. This may come as a surprise to some, as many of Johansson's films weren't box office hits. Nevertheless, films with her participation raised $ 3.3 billion in film distribution. And ahead is the animated film Sing (from the creators of Despicable Me), which will be released in December, and the thriller Ghost in the Shell, it is expected in 2017.
Michael Kane
The highest grossing movie: The Dark Knight ($ 534.9 million)
Veteran of American cinema. One of his most memorable roles is the butler Alfred in the Batman films. All the films Kane has starred in since the 1950s have raised $ 3.3 billion in movie theaters.
Johnny Depp
The highest grossing film: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest ($ 423.3 million)
One of the most striking and exotic Hollywood actors will forever remain in the memory of many viewers as captain Jack Sparrow. Depp was never afraid to take on the roles of unusual and even strange characters, and the box office in the amount of $ 3.3 billion confirms that in his case, risk is a noble cause.
Tom Cruise
The highest grossing film: War of the Worlds ($ 234.3 million)
Since the 1980s, the actor has constantly starred in high-quality blockbusters, such as “The Best Shooter”, “Minority Opinion”, “Edge of the Future”, and, of course, “Mission Impossible”. Film distributors love Cruise no less than the audience, because his films brought $ 3.5 billion.
Eddie Murphy
The highest grossing film: “Shrek 2” (441.2 million dollars).
Unlike other actors from this rating, Murphy made most of the revenue ($ 3.8 billion) thanks to comedic roles and voice acting for comedy characters. In the original voice acting of Shrek, Eddie Murphy speaks in a voice of a charming and cheerful Donkey.
Robert Downey Jr
The highest grossing film: Avengers ($ 623.4 million)
Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes, and another billionaire, playboy and the highest paid actor in the world. The total box office grossing of his films amounted to 3.9 billion dollars.
Tom Hanks
The highest grossing film: Toy Story 3 ($ 415 million).
Hanks began his career with comedic roles, but quickly revealed his dramatic potential in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump. Hanks' ability to convey pathos and tragedy, while remaining infinitely charming and touching, allowed him to remain one of the favorites of the American public over the past three decades. Total box office grossing of paintings with his participation is $ 4.3 billion.
Morgan Freeman
The highest grossing movie: The Dark Knight ($ 534.9 million)
Like Michael Kane, Morgan Freeman has an incredibly long track record that includes such pearls of cinema as Shawshank Redemption and Seven. And, like Michael Kane, Freeman’s most successful box office “performance” is due to his participation in Christopher Nolan’s Batman blockbuster. Total box office - $ 4, 4 billion.
Samuel L. Jackson
The highest grossing film: Avengers ($ 623.4 million)
He starred in Pulp Fiction, as well as in numerous successful franchises such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars. Jackson’s incredibly long filmography and total box office revenues of $ 4.6 billion would allow him to top the list of highest grossing movie stars. If not for ...
Harrison ford
Top grossing movie: Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($ 936.7 million)
The huge success of the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens at the box office provided Harrison Ford with the official title of the highest grossing Hollywood actor. The distribution of all films with his participation brought 4.8 billion dollars.
For Harrison Ford to take first place in the top 10 most grossing actors is a real feat when you consider that his main rival Samuel L. Jackson has been in most films produced since the early 1990s.
