5 Men In Black: International (2019) - $80 Million and Canadian theaters and $14.7 million from international territories. The investment was worth it, considering the film raked in $52 million from U.S. In it, she portrays true-life civil rights activist Diane Nash, one of the chief Freedom Riders and an integral figure in the creation and implementation of the Selma to Montgomery marches.īox Office Mojo puts Selma's budget at $20 million, a fairly standard number for a studio drama. It may not have gotten the Oscar attention it deserved, but Selma did fairly well for itself at the box office and stands as one of Thompson's best movies. Toss in the international tally of $19.2 million and a slim budget of only $15 million (according to Box Office Mojo), and When a Stranger Calls was a successful horror film, remake or otherwise. The original When a Stranger Calls was a fairly substantial hit in 1979 and, while the remake certainly didn't sell as many tickets, its gross of $47.8 million in 2006 from domestic markets alone is fairly impressive. The hollow 2006 remake isn't on the list at all and doesn't even give Thompson a single interesting thing to do outside of supporting Camilla Belle's lead character. But it has its moments, even if it's not towards the top of horror aficionados' list of favorites. 7 When A Stranger Calls (2006) - $47.8 Millionġ979's When a Stranger Calls gets a lot of credit for its (admittedly effective) "the killer is inside the house" scene, but Bob Clark's Black Christmas had already done the same thing five years prior. But the film also carried a relatively high price tag of $21 million, making its $19.5 million opening weekend (per Box Office Mojo) seem less impressive when considering the proven name brand. The two have a strained relationship, which only gets tenser (and allows Thompson more opportunities to show off her range) once an unplanned pregnancy is brought into the mix.Ī rare entirely serious film from Perry, For Colored Girls performed like most of his films: it opened high and swiftly dropped off. She plays Nyla, the daughter of Whoopi Goldberg's Alice Adrose. Not only is For Colored Girls one of the best Tyler Perry movies, but it gave Thompson some early spotlight, as well.
8 For Colored Girls (2010) - $37.7 Million And with an international tally of only $10.3 million, the film mostly had to rely on its domestic gross. 9 Annihilation (2018) - $32.7 MillionĪnnihilation, from Ex Machina director Alex Garland, tells the story of a mysterious, shining dome that suddenly covers miles of earth, and the scientists (including Thompson's physicist Josie Radek) who investigate its deadly interior.Īnnihilation may be one of Thompson's top-grossing movies, but it's not the biggest success. Box Office Mojo puts the film's budget at $40 million, meaning Garland's film needed to earn far more than its $32.7 million domestic haul to break even much less make any profit. It's an example of a solid, inventive film profiting the way it should. Working with a budget of just $3.2 million (minuscule by 2018 standards), Riley's film managed to amass an impressive $17.5 million from domestic theaters alone, according to Box Office Mojo. This makes the $677,611 from international territories all gravy. But Riley isn't the only one to impress, as lead stars Thompson and Lakeith Stanfield give note-perfect performances to accommodate the film's offbeat tone. SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY 10 Sorry To Bother You (2018) - $17.5 MillionĪ perfect addition to any Tessa Thompon binge, Sorry to Bother You is a wildly inventive film and a jaw-droppingly masterful debut film for Boots Riley. Her films outside the globe's most lucrative franchise have proven to be profitable in their own right, even if to a lesser extent. The character did make the most of limited screen time in Avengers: Endgame, but it's Love and Thunder that serves as Thompson's true sophomore MCU adventure.
Ragnarok not only brought Waititi to the MCU but also introduced Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie to the franchise's stable of heroes. Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder is all but guaranteed to be one of the most financially successful movies of 2022, continuing the winning formula the director established with the franchise's previous installment, Thor: Ragnarok.
