This actress is considered a “box office poison” as she has continuously starred in loss-making films for many years but still maintains the top salary in the world.

As an A-list star in Hollywood, Angelina Jolie is going through a series of film projects that both failed at the box office and received a series of criticism from audiences and critics over the past 8 years. If not counting the voice acting in the animated blockbuster Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016), Jolie’s last profitable movie was Maleficent (2014), earning 758.5 million USD at the box office with a budget of about 186 million USD.

Maleficent (2014) is Angeline Jolie’s most recent profitable film

Her two most prominent recent blockbusters, Maleficent 2: Mistress of All Evil (2019) and Eternals (2021), both did not have impressive results at the box office. With only a 40% Rotten Tomatoes score, Maleficent 2 grossed $491.7 million while needing more than $500 million to make a profit. Meanwhile, Eternals earned $402 million and became the first Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster to suffer a loss since The Incredible Hulk (2008).

Unlike many other colleagues, Angelina Jolie sometimes only makes one or two movies a year to spend time on humanitarian activities and taking care of her children. For this reason, the projects of this A-list star receive attention from a large public. Thanks to being loved by many audiences, she still maintains an extremely high salary in Hollywood.
