Jim Carrey At The Worldwide Box Office: Sonic The Hedgehog Movies Rule At The Top Spots
Jim Carrey is one of the highest-grossing actors of all time. He currently appears in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 as Professor Gerald Robotnik/Dr Ivo ‘Eggman’ Robotnik. He is a versatile actor who is unparalleled in the comedy space. The videogame-based movie is performing well at the box office and has crossed the $400 million mark as well. As the film is moving towards its next milestone, let’s look at Carrey’s last five films at the worldwide box office.
Carrey is known for his slapstick performances and gained wide recognition with hits including Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, and Batman Forever. As a result, he reportedly became the first comic actor to receive an upfront salary of $20 million for performing in films starting with The Cable Guy.
Besides being unbeatable in comedy, Jim Carrey has also given outstanding performances in dramatic movies, including The Truman Show and Man on the Moon. He won the Golden Globe Awards for both films. Jim is loved by the audience as Doctor Eggman, a human mad scientist and the main antagonist in the series. He works with the American government, wants Sonic’s abilities, and plans to exploit them for personal gain, leading him to become Sonic’s archenemy.
According to The Numbers, he has appeared as a leading actor in 28 films based on credits with a $4.88 billion worldwide aggregate box office. Carrey’s highest-grossing film is still Bruce Almighty, and it might change with Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
