The always-awesome Slashfilm has a great collection of stats today. And being that this weekend brings us new flicks by Jim Carrey and Will Smith, there's no better time to share.
Below are the most successful movie stars in history (box-office wise). Keep your eye on Big Willie Smith who opens this weekend with "Seven Pounds." Why keep your eye on Smith? Only Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and Eddie Murphy have more $100 million hits on their resume than Smith, who clocks in at 12. Carrey, who has "Yes Man" opening this weekend is only one behind at 11 blockbusters.
Here's the list of the most $100M+ in film history. It includes animated films and excludes cameos
1. Tom Hanks – 15
2. Tom Cruise - 14
3. Eddie Murphy - 13
4. Will Smith – 12
5. Harrison Ford – 12
6. Jim Carrey – 11
7. Robin Williams - 11
8. Mel Gibson – 10
9. Matt Damon - 9
10. Bruce Willis – 8
11. Jack Nicholson – 8
Here's the deal, though, Will Smith, has done something a bit unprecedented and achieved a feat never done by the Toms - Hanks and Cruise. Hancock was WILL SMITH'S eighth consecutive $100M+ grossing blockbuster. Hanks and Cruise both had career-best streaks of 7 films topping $100M.
2002 – Men in Black II - $52.1M opening - $190.4M cume
2003 – Bad Boys II - $46.5M opening - $138.6M cume
2004 – I, Robot - $52.1M opening - $144.8M cume
