Could Scarlett Johansson Become The First $16 Billion Box Office Star Too?
Other Stars Will Hit The $15 Billion Cap And Beyond In The Next Two Years
Johansson will be the first to earn $15 billion at the worldwide box office, but others will quickly follow. to cross even further into the $16 billion range,Jurassic World Rebirthwould need to earn nearly $1.5 billion.While the franchise has done this previously, with the firstJurassic World’s $1.6 billion, it is not likely here.
With no other major franchise films in the works,Johansson is not likely to become the first $16 billion star.Instead, Zoe Saldaña will likely earn anotherbillion withAvatar: Fire and Ash, and that film earning more than $1.8 billion and pushing her to that level is likely following the $2.3 billion earnings ofAvatar: The Way of Water.
If not Saldaña,there are several other stars that will cross this threshold in the coming years. Robert Downey Jr. will star inAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Wars, both of which will earn a great deal. WhileScarlett Johanssonwill certainly be the first $15 billion star, this list is sure to experience shakeups in the coming years.
