History has been made. With 'Jurassic World Rebirth' adding over $300M to her tally this weekend, Scarlett Johansson has surpassed Samuel L. Jackson as the highest-grossing actor in leading roles worldwide, with totals exceeding $15B.
And as the Hollywood star has created history (she was the highest-paid actress of Hollywood in 2018 and 2019), here's what social media users are saying:
Ryan Reynolds prolly thinking about what their joint bank account could have looked like while his current wife is having a legal battle over a movie most people don't know the title of.

The highest-grossing actor in film history is Stan Lee. Yes, the Marvel legend himself. He had less than 15 seconds of screen time per movie and his cameos alone have earned a staggering 💰 $30.6 BILLION globally.
How come? It should be Zoe saldana 🤔, part of AVATAR 1 & 2, Infinity war & end game
Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut, 'Eleanor the Great,' stars June Squibb as a 94-year-old woman who, out of grief and loneliness, does a terrible thing.
After her best friend (Rita Zohar) dies, Eleanor (Squibb) moves to New York and, after accidentally joining the wrong meeting at the Jewish Community Center, adopts her friend's story of Holocaust survival. The film builds toward a moment where Eleanor could be harshly condemned in a public forum, or not.
For Johansson, her movie speaks to the moment.
'There's a lack of empathy in the zeitgeist. It's obviously a reaction to a lot of things,' says Johansson. 'It feels to me like forgiveness feels less possible in the environment we're in.'
Johansson brought 'Eleanor the Great' to the Un Certain Regard sidebar of the Cannes Film Festival this week, unveiling a funny and tender, character-driven, New York-set indie that launches her as a filmmaker. For the 40-year-old star, it's the humble culmination of a dream that's always bounced around in her mind.

Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 5: Anurag Basu's musical drama earns ₹20 crore, mints THIS amount on Tuesday
Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 5: Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino crossed the ₹ 20 crore mark at the Indian box office on Tuesday, July 8. Despite glorious reviews by critics and audiences alike, the musical drama fell short at the box office. However, it has surpassed the lifetime earnings of its spiritual sequel, Life In A Metro, which had earned ₹ 19.05 crore. Trade analysts have attributed this shortfall to stiff competition from Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par, which has had a steady hold on the box office even on the 19th day of its release, and two Hollywood biggies: Jurassic World Rebirth and F1 The Movie. Now, Metro In Dino, a heartfelt narrative of four couples in a contemporary setting, needs to hold steady at its Friday levels during the weekdays to register a healthy total. According to film industry tracker Sacnilk, Metro In Dino earned ₹ 1.24 crore till 6 PM on Tuesday, Day 5. With this, the movie's total collection stood at ₹ 20.49 crore on Tuesday. These are just early estimates from the movie's Tuesday earnings. The numbers will be revised later to include evening and night show collections. Metro In Dino saw an overall 19.57% occupancy on July 8. For the Hindi version, the occupancy was as follows: The numbers for the evening and night shows are yet to be released. Metro In Dino, directed by Anurag Basu, has earned ₹ 23.5 crore globally in 4 days. Its overseas collection stood at ₹ 3.5 crore, while its India gross was ₹ 20 crore. The numbers are yet to be updated for the day. Produced by T-Series and Anurag Kashyap Films, the movie features a star ensemble cast.

Meet world's highest-grossing actor, never gave a single hit, still has net worth of Rs..., beats Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr, Brad Pitt, he is...
How do you define stardom, by fame, awards, or fan following? Most often, it's by box office numbers. And by that metric, the world's highest-grossing actor isn't someone known for solo blockbusters or action franchises led alone. She doesn't even have a single solo hit to her name. Meet Scarlett Johansson Meet Scarlett Johansson, 40, the silent force behind some of the biggest box office juggernauts of our time. According to a report by Hindustan Times, Johansson has starred in 52 films across her career, mostly as a co-lead, with global earnings crossing $15 billion. That's more than Samuel L. Jackson, whose 66 films grossed $14.8 billion, and Robert Downey Jr., with 65 films making $14.3 billion. Scarlett's biggest hits lie within the Marvel Cinematic Universe While Scarlett's biggest hits lie within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, what's striking is this: not one of her films was a solo hit at the box office. Even her standalone MCU film, Black Widow, underperformed compared to ensemble projects. Ironically, it's the ensemble cast model that catapulted her to this record-smashing spot. Films like Avengers: Endgame, Infinity War, and others account for nearly $7 billion of her total. Adding to that is Jurassic World: Rebirth, which nudged her past Jackson and Downey in cumulative earnings. In the Indian context, only a handful have touched this realm. Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas have both appeared in films with over $1 billion in global earnings, thanks to international releases and crossover projects. Scarlett's rise is a reminder: in an era of franchises and shared universes, you don't need to carry a film alone to rule the box office. Sometimes, it's teamwork, timing, and a little Marvel magic that does the trick.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection: Aamir Khan's movie crosses ₹150 crore after 19 days, mints THIS amount
Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 19: Aamir Khan's movie Sitaare Zameen Par has finally hit the ₹ 150 crore mark after being inches away from it for the past three days, as its earnings fall drastically in week 3. Despite Aamir's 'no OTT' policy for the movie, the trend for Sitaare Zameen Par faded after fierce competition from Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino and two Hollywood biggies—Jurassic World Rebirth and Brad Pitt's F1. All these movies are targeting the urban audience. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Sitaare Zameen Par earned a meagre ₹ 60,00,000 till 5 PM on Tuesday, Day 19. This brings the total earnings of the Aamir Khan and Genelia D'Souza starrer to ₹ 150.65 crore. By the end of Saturday, Day 16, the collection was already near ₹ 150 crore, with ₹ 142.55 crore. These are just early estimates from Sitaare Zameen Par's Tuesday earnings. The numbers will be revised later to include evening and night show collections. Sitaare Zameen Par saw an overall 7.97% occupancy on July 8. For the Hindi version, the occupancy was as follows: The numbers for the evening and night shows are yet to be released. Chennai, Jaipur, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru recorded the highest footfall for the day. Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna, has earned a solid ₹ 231.5 crore globally in 17 days. Its overseas collection stood at ₹ 53.75 crore, while its India gross was ₹ 177.75 crore. The numbers are yet to be updated. Other than Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh, Sitaare Zameen Par cast features Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishnan Varma, Vedant Sharmaa, Samvit Desai, Aayush Bhansali, Dolly Ahluwalia, Brijendra Kala, Ankita Sehgal, Gurpal Singh, Naman Misra, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Simran Mangeshkar and Ashish Pendse in key roles. Aamir Khan reportedly has a very different plan for Sitaare Zameen Par. Instead of selling the streaming rights to any major OTT service, the actor will likely release the movie on YouTube for a pay-per-view fee, to allow him to have full control over its release window and pricing.
