Scarlett Johansson just made box office history.
The Oscar-nominated actress, 40, has officially become the highest-grossing lead actor of all time, surpassing her fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe alums Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr., according to verified data from The Numbers.
The milestone comes on the heels of a massive opening weekend for Jurassic World Rebirth, which debuted July 3 and earned $147.3 million domestically and $318.3 million globally through Sunday.
That colossal opening pushed Johansson’s total global box office haul for leading and ensemble-lead roles to an astonishing $14.61 billion — edging Jackson’s $14.60 billion and Downey Jr.’s $14.3 billion.
What’s more: Johansson got there with just 36 films playing lead roles, compared to Jackson’s 71 and Downey’s 45. Her average worldwide gross stands at $405.9 million per film, significantly outpacing both actors.
Many of Johansson’s biggest hits have come from her decade-long portrayal of Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in the MCU, including Avengers: Endgame ($2.7B), Infinity War ($2B), The Avengers ($1.5B), and Age of Ultron ($1.4B).
Outside of Marvel, Johansson headlined major earners like The Jungle Book ($951M), Sing ($631M), and Lucy ($457M).
Her latest win comes from a new franchise. In Jurassic World Rebirth, Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, a hardened mercenary brought into the action by a pharmaceutical executive (Rupert Friend) to team up with a paleontologist (Jonathan Bailey) on a high-stakes mission involving dinosaur DNA.
Clearly, Johansson is no longer just Marvel’s most elite assassin. She’s Hollywood’s most bankable star. Period. Jurassic World Rebirth is now playing in theaters nationwide.
