Angelina Jolie has always excelled in her acting chops, but now, it’s time to look at her top 10 highest-grossing films!
Angelina Jolie began her acting career in 1993 and is all set to mark a half-century with 48 films already in her filmography. Over three decades, she’s won several accolades and awards and has been one of the highest-paid Hollywood actresses.

But have you ever wondered which are her top 10 highest-grossing movies of all time at the worldwide box office? Scroll below for a detailed analysis of her best works and their collections.
It would be interesting to note that Angie has had one of the most remarkable journeys. From being rejected for as many as 10 roles because her demeanor was allegedly “too dark” to becoming the ‘most wanted’ of top filmmakers, her growth as an actor has been phenomenal.

Check out the list of top 10 box office performers of Angelina Jolie:
Maleficent (2014)

Robert Stromberg’s live-action feature Maleficent features Angelina Jolie in the leading role along with Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple, and Lesley Manville in supporting roles. It is based on Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and turned out to be a massive success, grossing $759.85 million worldwide, as per Box Office Mojo.
Mr & Mrs Smith (2005)

Well, can anyone forget Mr & Mrs Smith? This was the film where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie fell in love, and the whole cheating scandal with Jennifer Aniston took place. The action-comedy certainly has reasons to attract viewers and earned $487.28 million globally.
Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil (2019)
Sequel to the highest-grossing Maleficent (2014), Angelina Jolie returned to her titular role along with most old cast members with a few additions (Chiwetel Ejiofor, Ed Skrein, Michelle Pfeiffer along with Harris Dickinson replacing Brenton Thwaites). Despite the mixed reviews from critics, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil collected a whopping $491.73 million worldwide and turned out to be the third highest-grossing film of the actress.
Wanted (2008)
Loosely based on the comic book miniseries Wanted, Timur Bekmambetov took over the director’s hat and roped in some renowned actors like James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Terence Stamp, and Chris Pratt alongside Angie. Made on a budget of $75 million, it was a massive success as it earned $342.46 million worldwide.
Salt (2010)
Many wouldn’t know, but Salt was initially written with Tom Cruise in mind. The script was rewritten for Angelina Jolie, and sure, the crime-thriller was worth all the effort. It earned $293.50 million and is the 5th highest-grossing film of Angie.
The Tourist (2010)
Another thriller on the list, but this time a romantic one, co-starring Johnny Depp. The film also made a lot of noise over an alleged feud between the leading stars. However, Angelina Jolie knocked it out of the park with another success in 2010. The Tourist collected $278.78 million at the worldwide box office.
Lara Craft: Tomb Raider (2001)
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider remains the highest-grossing video game adaptation. Starring Angelina in the leading role, critics weren’t the most impressed, but does it matter? Because the film went on to rake in $274.70 million worldwide, missing the #6 spot in the highest-grossing list by an inch!
Gone In 60 Seconds (2000)
Made on a budget of $60 million, Gone In 60 Seconds was just another Angelina Jolie film that received negative reviews from critics. Also starring Nicolas Cage, Giovanni Ribisi, and T.J. Cross in pivotal roles, the action heist film directed by Dominic Sena earned $237.20 million in its lifetime.
Alexander (2004)
Alexander was an epic historical drama based on the life of Alexander the Great. It starred Colin Farrell, Anthony Hopkins, Rosario Dawson, and Angelina Jolie in crucial roles. The box office response wasn’t as expected as the film mounted on a $155 million budget and made only $167.29 million worldwide.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003)
Despite being termed “better” than its predecessor in terms of performances and action sequences, The Cradle of Life could not beat the massive success achieved by Lara Craft: Tomb Raider (2001). It earned $160.09 million.
And with that, we conclude Angelina Jolie’s top 10 highest-grossing films at the worldwide box office. How many of the aforementioned movies have you watched, and which is your favorite?

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
