Ben Stiller Movies - Biggest Money Makers

Ben Stiller has made 30 movies to date counting Little Fockers. Twelve of them have made over $100 million dollars worldwide at the box office.

Stiller stars in the new movie Little Fockers with Robert De Niro who has also starred in a dozen movies that have made over $100 million dollars but De Niro has been in 62 movies in his career. Stiller is a much bigger box office draw today than Robert De Niro is or ever was.

The first Ben Stiller movie to make over $100 million was the hilarious There's Something About Mary with Cameron Diaz which was released in 1998. Before There's Something About Mary Ben Stiller was in five movies that did not do well at the box office and his next five movies after Mary were also not box office hits.

His next big movie was Meet the Parents in 2000 with Robert De Niro and since that movie Ben Stiller movies have made as much money at the box office as any actor in Hollywood.

While Ben Stiller hooked up with Jack Black to make the successful Tropic Thunder the duo also made the forgettable Envy which cost $40 million to make and only earned $14.6 million at the box office. Envy was so bad Jack Black apologized for making the movie.

As all these movies show from a money standpoint Ben Stiller is as big a star as there is in Hollywood today. Be interesting to see how much money Little Fockers makes.
