Scarlett Johansson breaks record, becomes highest-paid actress in cinema

Scarlett Johansson has just broken a staggering record, becoming the highest-grossing leading actress of all time, surpassing giants like Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel L. Jackson.

The new film “Jurassic World: Rebirth” catapulted her to the top of the list. In the film, she plays Zora Bennett, a former soldier involved in a dangerous but spectacular mission set on one of the last islands inhabited by dinosaurs.

And the result is $318 million in just six days. With this success, total box office revenue for films in which Scarlett Johansson has a leading (or co-leading) role has reached $14.8 billion. A record figure, making her the highest-grossing leading actress in the history of global cinema.

This result is no coincidence, but confirms the charisma and versatility of an actress capable of mastering any genre, from sophisticated comedy to action films, including animation.
