One of two new movies at the most recent weekend’s box office,Alex Parkinson’sLast Breathhas made an impressive start to life in theaters, even earning a strongB+ score from polling platform CinemaScoreand a 91% score from audiences on review aggregatorRotten Tomatoes. Financially, the movie has also fared well on its opening three days,taking home just shy of $8 million from 3,018 theaters nationwide, and finishing the domestic box office weekend as the second highest-grossing movie, outperforming the likes ofThe Monkey,Paddington in Peru, and its fellow new arrivalRiff Raff.
Because of this early success,Last Breath’s starWoody Harrelsonis about to hit new box office heights of his own, with the movie’s positive first weekend leavingHarrelson less than $1 million behind Jeremy Renner in the list of highest-grossing actors in US box office history. In fact, when Harrelson inevitably bridges this gap in the next 24 hours, it will propel the veteran actor into thetop 40 highest-grossing actors in domestic box office history, a prestigious group headlined by the likes ofSamuel L. Jackson, John Ratzenberger,andStan Lee.
What is Woody Harrelson’s Highest-Grossing Movie?
Harrelson has been part ofnumerous big box office successesacross his almost 40-year on-screen career to date, with the veteran being part of over$9.5 billion worth of projects in worldwide box office gross. However, it might be surprising to learn that Harrelson doesn’t have a single billion-dollar title in his acting filmography, which begs the question — what is the highest-grossing Harrelson movie? The first movie of Harrelson’s to gross over $100,000 came in 1993 withIndecent Proposal, with Harrelson having to wait another six years until another, with 1999’sAustin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, which stands as the actor’s highest-grossing movie of the 20th century.
