I found this little statistic to be EXTREMELY surprising. Really. When you look at all the great actresses in Hollywood, who do you think brings in the most money at the box office per film? Do you think Julia Roberts? You’d be wrong. Roberts brings in a respectable $76.9 million per film, but that’s only good enough for 7th place on our list. How about Nicole Kidman? Well, she only makes an average of $46.7 million per film which puts her at 26th. So here it is, the top 5 Box Office draws per film:

#5.Catherine Zeta-Jones– $78.5 million per film
#4.Téa Leoni– $80.4 million per film
#3.Shannon Elizabeth– $81.5 million per film
#2.Carrie Fisher– $84.1 million per film

And the #1 per film box office money making actress of all time is…

Natalie Portman– with a stunning $161 million per film (almost as much as #2 and #3 put together. Wow!)

Other notables on this interesting list are:

#10. Tia Carrere – $63.7 million per fillm
#15. Margot Kidder (Lois Lane) – $59.6 million per film
#72. Angelina Jolie – $29.4 million per film
#74. Winona Ryder – $28.7 million per film
#77. Susan Sarandon – $28.2 million per film
