Got to be. I was trying to think of a Marvel staple (which she is) and
forgot about HUNGER GAMES...

The "Hunger Games" movies made a lot but Jennifer Lawrence was in the X-Men
flicks which weren't a part of the MCU/Disney package (they are now) and so didn't
make outrageous amounts of money.

I was thinking Meryl Streep, as she's been around for a long time and has been
in a lot of hit movies so combined, she's probably made the most money?

Of course I could google her, and I'm sure her movie names would be
familiar, but I have no idea who Evangeline Lilly is. Same for Letitia Wright.
The rest I've at least heard of and can place in some movies.

Not to be elitist, but Meryl Streep usually makes "good" movies, not
blockbusters. E.g., J.L.'s "good" ones are likely negligible here.

Looking at Ms. Lilly's resume, I have some doubts:

Spoilsport/dickhead.

Scarlett Johansson.

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls063722912/ shows that she's held this title
from at least 2016.

Evangeline Lilly was in "The Hobbit" movies after becoming known from
the ridiculous "LOST" TV series, but not really the main star of either
of them ... just one of many reasons why, as usual, it's a pointless
comparison list.

It's simply a list of movies that made money, not a list of movies
where the actress was *the* star ... "The Hobbit" movies made tons of
money, and she happened to be in them.

Hey now, "LOST" was a fantastic tv series, even if the writers were pulling
it out their ass as they went along.

$960 and $956 million for the “Hobbit” flicks and she was also in the two
MCU/Disney “Ant-Man” flicks, (and will be in the next one) which made
$520 and $622 million, plus a brief appearance in the last “Avengers”
movie if we’re counting that also, which made $2.8 BILLION.

Yes, but that's what I understood the rules to mean...

And you could use the info a la Moneyball.

Given that it's a silly & pointless list, there's still a couple of
surprising omissions, especially given the actresses longevity... Nicole
Kidman & Sigourney Weaver. I assume that the Takings dollars haven't been
inflation adjusted.

The main motto for the "Politically Correct" / "Equality" / "Diversity"
morons has always been:

"We want to be equal, except when it specifically
suits or benefits us to not be."

I doubt that either Kidman or Weaver accepts "paycheck" roles, which
probably condemns them to a surfeit of "good" movies, which in turn sell
fewer tickets than your average GODZILLA VS. ANT-MAN, especially
worldwide. I'm guessing the real winner is somebody whose name has
never appeared in a credits frame with fewer than a dozen others.

Probably an extra who sits in the background drinking coffee, walking
along the street, etc., but has appeared in numerous big movies. :-)

It seemed like ScarJo was in every other movie made there for a while.
