Oscar-winning actor Jennifer Lawrence may have faced a few downs in 2014, especially after the nude pictures hacking controversy, but the year is ending on a high note for her. Lawrence topped Forbes' list of "Highest Grossing Actors at the Box Office 2014."
The roster includes Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Angelina Jolie, Hugh Jackman and Emma Stone.
To compile the list of top 10 actors, whose movies generated massive revenues, Forbes studies data from Box Office Mojo for "global movie grosses." The publication then totaled each actor's grosses for 2014 to finalize the lineup.
The 10 highest grossing actors at the box office for this year, according to Forbes, are:
1. Jennifer Lawrence
The 24-year-old Academy award-winning star grabs the numero uno spot thanks to two of her flicks: X-Men: Days of Future Past and the penultimate The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, netting $1.4 billion in total worldwide.
2. Christ Pratt
The 35-year-old Pratt's essaying of Peter Quill in the outer space adventure hit from Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy struck the right chord with the audience as the actor finished a close second with $1.2 billion, due to his movies The Lego Movie and the Guardians of the Galaxy raking in the amount worldwide.
3. Scarlett Johansson
Johansson seems to have been fate's favorite in 2014. Not only was the actor crowned FHM's "Sexiest Woman Alive" in 2014 -- she also comes in at number three on Forbes' list. Johansson makes it on the roster thanks to her roles in Lucy, Under the Skin and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which raked in $1.18 billion globally.
4. Mark Wahlberg
Wahlberg's roles in The Gambler and Transformers: Age of Extinction give him the fourth spot, with gross earnings of $1 billion worldwide.
5. Chris Evans
Like Johansson, Chris Evans is also riding high on the success of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Throw in the post-apocalyptical sci-fi Snowpiercer and Evans' movies netted $801 million worldwide.
6. Emma Stone
The sixth spot is taken by Emma Stone, whose Birdman, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Magic in the Moonlight grossed $764 million globally.
7. Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie makes it on the Forbes' list for her earnings as a director and actor. Her combined earnings from Unbroken and Maleficent grossed $758 million around the world.
The eighth, ninth and 10th spots are occupied by James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Hugh Jackman.
