Tom Hanks’ Highest-Grossing Movie Might Surprise You

Once again, Tom Hanks has no shortage of blockbuster hits under his belt. As of this writing, no less than nine of his films have grossed $400 million or more at the global box office, according to The Numbers. But one movie holds the distinction of being the biggest hit of Hanks’ illustrious career.
One could guess that “Forrest Gump” takes the crown. However, the Best Picture winner currently registers at No. 4 with a gross of just under $680 million. There’s also “The Da Vinci Code” to consider, which comes hot on the heels of the supernatural success of Dan Brown’s novel of the same name. Surprising as it may seem, this film ranks as Hanks’ third highest-grossing film, having grossed just over $767 million.
While it might not be Hanks’ most obvious film to earn the rest, Hanks’ highest-grossing film to date is actually “Toy Story 4.” Although it was generally well received, the fourth entry in the “Toy Story” series was a marked drop in quality from previous entries, per Metacritic. However, it still took all the money at the box office, grossing $1.07 billion (with a B) at the worldwide box office. The film went off as something of a swansong for the franchise, but given this comeback, Disney/Pixar would probably be wise to pull old Woody out of the toy box for a fifth round.
