But he’s bested by Ken Jeong, who was in Despicable Me 2, The Hangover Part III, Turbo, and Pain and Gain, totaling about $611 million in domestic box-office. All of them are beaten, however, by Jon Favreau, who, with Iron Man 3 ($409 million), Identity Thief ($134.5 million), and Wolf of Wall Street ($34 million and still in theaters), has appeared in films that have so far grossed more than $577 million, with more to come for Wolf. So could Kristen Wiig, who’s got Despicable, Anchorman, Her, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, three of which are still in theaters. Jennifer Lawrence, whose Hunger Games: Catching Fire and American Hustle are both still in theaters, could conceivably catch up to all of them she currently has about $451 million. Steve Carell, who was in Despicable Me 2, Anchorman 2, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, and The Way Way Back, beats them both with $493 million (and also counting). For example, Benedict Cumberbatch, who was in Star Trek: Into Darkness, The Fifth Estate, 12 Years a Slave, and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, outgrosses The Rock with $460 million (and counting).

Meanwhile, Stiller, Vaughn, Wilson, et al. This was a banner year for R-rated comedies, with films like The Heat ($159 million), We’re the Millers ($150 million), and Identity Thief ($134 million) leading the raunchy way. Remember the PG-13 comedy? Those movies that used to star Ben Stiller and/or Vince Vaughn and/or Owen Wilson and somehow managed to keep their crudeness just soft enough to avoid an R rating and thus have greater box-office potential?
