Scarlett Johansson sets record with $320M opening, tops all-time box office

Scarlett Johansson has officially become the highest-grossing actor of all time at the global box office, setting a new industry benchmark.

This milestone comes on the heels of her recent blockbuster, Jurassic World Rebirth, which debuted with an impressive $320 million worldwide.

The new box office figure pushes Johansson past former record holders Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr., both of whom dominated the global charts thanks to their work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Johansson, known for her role as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, also benefited from her decade-long run in Marvel films, but it was Jurassic World Rebirth that solidified her place at the top.

Industry analysts attribute Johansson's success to her wide-ranging roles across action, drama, and science fiction, coupled with strategic franchise involvement. Her appeal spans demographics and continents, making her a consistent box office draw.

This accomplishment marks a historic moment not just for Johansson but for female-led box office performance in general. With streaming platforms and theatrical releases both contributing to these totals, Johansson's reach in both formats further enhances her dominance.

As of now, Scarlett Johansson leads with an unmatched cumulative box office total, reaffirming her status as one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.
