This success has pushed Johansson’s total box office earnings to $14.8 billion. She has surpassed her rivals, whose films have earned $14.2 billion and $14.6 billion respectively. Nearly 60 percent of Johansson’s total comes from her work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

These include “Avengers: Endgame” ($2.7 billion worldwide), “Avengers: Infinity War” ($2 billion), and “The Avengers” ($1.5 billion).
“Jurassic World Rebirth” is already Johansson’s 13th highest-grossing movie in which she has a lead role. It could push her earnings even higher as it continues to break records.

The film is currently trailing slightly behind 2021’s “Black Widow.” However, it only needs about $61 million to catch up, which seems achievable.
Johansson is currently working on three new projects. These include James Gray’s “Paper Tiger,” Christopher McQuarrie’s “The Gauntlet,” and Andrea Arnold’s “Featherwood.” In “Featherwood,” Johansson will portray Carol Blevins, an FBI informant who helped secure numerous convictions among members of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas. Johansson continues to prove herself as one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.
She has shown her versatile talent in diverse roles and solidified her status with outstanding box office performances.
