In an era where blockbuster movies aim to surpass the coveted $1 billion mark at the box office, it’s surprising to note that some of the biggest stars in Hollywood have yet to achieve this milestone. While Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johannson, and Zoe Saldaña have starred in films that have grossed over $1 billion, other stars have yet to reach this impressive benchmark.
Matt Damon, with a career spanning over three decades, has appeared in blockbuster franchises such as The Bourne Identity and Ocean’s Eleven. Despite his numerous successful films, including Christopher Nolan’s Best Picture-winning biopic Oppenheimer, his highest-grossing film stands at $974.9 million. Meryl Streep, a highly acclaimed actress with 21 Oscar nominations, has had her share of box office successes, but her highest-grossing film, Mamma Mia!, barely surpasses the $1 billion mark.
Ryan Reynolds, known for his wit and charm, has enjoyed significant financial success with the Deadpool franchise, which has grossed over $1.5 billion worldwide. However, his highest-grossing solo film is Deadpool, which stands at $785.8 million. Angelina Jolie, a Hollywood A-lister, has appeared in films that have grossed over $1 billion, but as a solo artist, her highest-grossing film stands at $758.4 million.
