Halle Berry has long been a skilled and passionate actress whose movies always show her talent. Following her debut movie Jungle Fever by Spike Lee in 1991, she has been the only black woman to win an Academy Award for Best Actress, which has cycled from different phases and genres. Berry has always shined in throughout her roles in her movies in the past several decades, with many fans marking her as the Patience Phillips in the film Catwoman and Storm in different X-men movies she has starred in.
The producers seem not to know what to do with her beauty sometimes and are unsure of what to do with her genre roles that rely on sexuality which often diminish her other features and talents. Swordfish and Die Another Day made her a pinup, but that did not give her much more to stand around in lingerie. However, some movies successfully show her beautiful side, which resulted in a box office worldwide. Listed below are the most successful film of Halle Berry in terms of Box Office Results.
