From Black Widow to Box Office Baroness
Last weekend, ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’ stomped into theatres and roared an impressive $318 million globally in its first six days, $147.3M domestically and $171M abroad, including $41.5M from China alone according to IMDB.
That massive haul helped propel Scarlett Johansson’s career-leading box office total to approximately $14.8 billion, officially surpassing Marvel legend Samuel L. Jackson (now around $14.6B) and Robert Downey Jr. (~$14.2B), according to The Wrap and The Numbers.
With only 36 lead/ensemble roles (versus Jackson’s 71 or Downey’s 45), she’s maximized each one. From indie darling to box‑office titan, she’s long been Hollywood’s stealth MVP.
Now that Scarlett’s claimed the crown, all eyes turn to what the future holds. Will RDJ, with potential MCU sequels, claw it back? Could Pratt or another rise? For now, Johansson stands atop the cinematic food chain and we are here for every iconic role she’ll play next.
