Zoe Saldaña Tops All-Time Box Office Rankings, Passing Scarlett Johansson

An updated tally from The Numbers attributes roughly $15.47 billion to her lead-ensemble roles across major franchises.

Overview

  • Avatar: Fire and Ash has grossed about $1.23 billion worldwide, pushing Saldaña to No. 1 on the site’s leaderboard.
  • The Numbers’ ranking counts films where an actor has a lead or lead ensemble role, placing Scarlett Johansson second at around $15.40 billion.
  • Saldaña’s total reflects her runs in Avatar, the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Gamora, and Star Trek, and she is the first actress with four $2 billion‑plus titles including Avengers: Infinity War.
  • Published lifetime sums vary by outlet, and different counting rules can change the leader, with The Numbers noting that including all roles would put Stan Lee first.
  • Future entries in the Avatar series are planned for 2029 and 2031, suggesting the leaderboard could shift again.
