Zendaya Creates Box Office History in 2026, Becomes Hollywood’s Highest-Grossing Actress

Hollywood star actress Zendaya has created a new box office record in 2026. With her films released this year, she has grossed nearly $2 billion worldwide (approximately ₹16,000 crore), making her the highest-grossing actress of the year. Rising from a Disney Channel child star to a global Hollywood icon, Zendaya is now dominating the worldwide box office.

The two films that propelled her career to new heights this year are "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and Christopher Nolan’s "The Odyssey." Notably, in both blockbuster films, she starred alongside her husband, actor Tom Holland. Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned $927 million during its opening weekend, while The Odyssey crossed the $911 million mark within just three weeks of release.

Thanks to the phenomenal success of these two films, Zendaya and Tom Holland have become Hollywood’s highest-grossing celebrity couple of 2026. Their movies also helped set a new record for the highest-grossing weekend in North American box office history. With "Dune: Part Three" scheduled for release later this year, industry analysts believe Zendaya’s dominance at the global box office is likely to grow even further.
