Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are one of Hollywood’s power couples. The two got married in 2012, and currently have four children together. If their social media posts show anything, it is that they know how to have fun with each other in their loving relationship.
Not only do the two make an impact on the world through charity and relief efforts, but they are both cinematic stars. The couple has appeared in one film together, but their genres are typically very diversified in the roles they take. Here is a ranking of each spouse’s top five box office hits.
Updated November 2023: Clearly, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are huge box office draws. With films consistently grossing over $100 million, both actors are in-demand. While some of the films on this list are a decade or older, both Lively and Reynolds have many projects in different stages of development. Specifically, for Reynolds, one of the biggest of the 10 films waiting to be released is ‘Deadpool 3’ and for Lively and her four projects waiting to be sent to the big screen, any could make a huge profit. As such, it would not be surprising when Hollywood gets back into the swing of things for this list to change. But for now, here are the top five highest-grossing films for Lively and Reynolds.
