Here's why:
* Box office figures are constantly changing: Box office numbers can fluctuate due to re-releases, streaming revenue, and other factors.
* Inflation: Comparing box office numbers across different eras can be misleading without accounting for inflation. A movie that made $100 million in the 1990s is worth more in today's dollars.
* Different types of roles: Both actresses have starred in big budget blockbusters as well as smaller independent films, which can impact box office performance.
However, we can look at some general trends:
* Angelina Jolie: Known for action roles in franchises like "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" and "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," and her role in the "Maleficent" series. These tend to be big budget films that often do well at the box office.
* Jennifer Aniston: Primarily known for her comedic roles, most notably in the sitcom "Friends" and films like "Marley & Me" and "The Break-Up." While these films often perform well commercially, they don't always reach the same box office heights as blockbuster action films.
Ultimately, comparing their box office earnings is complex and subjective. Both actresses have had successful careers and have earned impressive amounts at the box office.
