Gladiator II Is Among Denzel Washington’s Top-Grossing Films

Very few actors have a resume as impressive and wide ranging as Denzel Washington. Since he hasn’t been in a giant franchise…yet, his box office numbers aren’t as big as some of his contemporaries. However, he’s made up for it with nine acting Oscar nominations and two wins. His new film “Gladiator II” is already creating buzz for a tenth nomination and has become one of his most successful films with its huge opening weekend.

With the legend poised to take over the Broadway stage in “Othello,” then bring the project on screen, possibly appear in “Black Panther 3,” once again work with Spike Lee, collaborate with Steve McQueen and make two more “Equalizer” films, we need to take a few moments and celebrate all things Denzel Washington with his highest grossing movies worldwide, per Box Office Mojo.
