Shawn Levy’s Movies Have Grossed More than George Lucas' at the Global Box Office

Deadpool & Wolverine has generated over $1.3 billion globally, and is currently among the top 20 films in box office history. It’s also the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, and one of the top 10 Marvel films ever made. For Levy, however, the film holds a greater significance. Thanks to its record-breaking success, his career box office has now passed the $4 billion mark. To be precise, Levy’s feature films have generated a combined global box office total of $4.03 billion. Including the films that he has produced, his total career box office stands at nearly $5 billion globally.

With a $4 billion career haul, Levy is now the 19th-highest grossing director of all time, behind Chris Columbus ($4.09 billion) and James Wan ($4.1 billion), and ahead of Roland Emmerich ($4.01 billion) and Jon Watts ($3.9 billion). Only recently, Tim Burton became the ninth-highest grossing filmmaker of all time thanks to the success of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. For further context, the legendary George Lucas' six films have generated $3.4 billion worldwide. Levy has also experienced major success on streaming, having executive produced and directed episodes of Netflix's platform-defining hit, Stranger Things.
