Chris Hemsworth’s Highest-Grossing Non-MCU Films
Snow White and the Huntsman — USD 386 million
In the dark reimagining of the classic Disney fairytale, Hemsworth stars as Eric the huntsman, who is ordered to kill the titular princess but ends up becoming her protector. Appearing opposite Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron, Hemsworth managed to turn the fantasy epic into his highest-grossing film outside the Marvel universe.
Star Trek — USD 386 million
Though his screen time in the entry was brief, Hemsworth’s emotional turn as George Kirk, father of James T. Kirk, made an early impact in his career. The J.J. Abrams directorial marked the reboot of the sci-fi franchise and introduced the Australian hunk to a global audience.
Ghostbusters — USD 229 million
Hemsworth showcased his comedic chops as Kevin Beckman, the featherbrained receptionist of the all-female Ghostbusters squad. While polarizing among fans, the Paul Feig-directed flick drew strong box office returns and praise for the actor’s never-seen-before comic timing.
Men in Black: International — USD 180 million
Reuniting with Tessa Thompson (Thor Franchise), Hemsworth played Agent H in this globe-trotting spin-off. Despite lukewarm reviews, the franchise name and the duo’s chemistry helped drive respectable earnings.
The Huntsman: Winter’s War — USD 165 million
A follow-up to Snow White and the Huntsman, Hemsworth returned as Eric, this time sharing the screen with Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt, and Charlize Theron. Though not as successful as its predecessor, the fantasy sequel still delivered solid numbers.
As Crime 101 moves through post-production, all eyes are on whether Hemsworth can add a new non-MCU hit to his name. The release date for the movie hasn’t been unveiled yet. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for an update on it, as we’ll certainly be the first to report.
