List of highest-grossing actors

The following are non-definitive lists of the actors with the highest career-film grosses. There are box-office gross revenue lists, which are not adjusted for inflation, as well as lists for the number of box-office ticket sales.

Box-office gross revenue

Because of the effects of inflation on cinema ticket prices, a list unadjusted for inflation gives much more weight to later actors.[1] Therefore, gross revenue lists are largely meaningless for comparing acting careers widely separated in time, as many actors from earlier eras will not appear on a modern, unadjusted list, despite their films achieving higher commercial success when adjusted for inflation.[2]

All time

This list only includes leading roles and lead ensemble roles, including voice acting. The list is updated as of 12 March 2024.

Earlier eras

Up until 2000

A survey by TLA Video in 2000 estimated that the following actors had sold the most movie tickets at the box office.[36][37]

Rank Actor Ticket sales (est.)
1 Clark Gable 1,168,300,000
2 John Wayne 1,114,000,000
3 Bing Crosby 1,077,900,000
4 James Stewart 981,900,000
5 Cary Grant 942,500,000
6 Spencer Tracy 937,200,000
7 Gary Cooper 878,600,000
8 Mickey Rooney 867,900,000
9 Harrison Ford 852,700,000
10 Gregory Peck 728,000,000

Up until 1966

In 1966, Variety calculated a list of the highest-grossing stars using their All-Time Top Grossing Films lists based on the number of films that had earned theatrical rentals of $4 million or more in the United States and Canada by the end of 1965.[38] As the list was based on number of films on the chart, there may have been some stars who appeared in fewer films listed but with a higher total rental. The list favors films and stars of the later eras as later films generally gross more. John Wayne topped the list. Variety noted that Crosby's last hit prior to 1965 was High Society in 1956, and at that date he would have led the list.[38] They also noted that Gable was the undisputed king until he went into the Army in 1942 and that he wasn't ranked higher, as many of his earlier hits did not reach their $4 million cut-off and were therefore not included in his total.[38]
