15 Most Successful Hugh Jackman Movies Ranked (Based On Their Box-Office Earnings)

His razor-sharp Adamantium claws allow him to slash and kill villains by swiping his hands. Jackman has introduced an impulsiveness that at times appears to be grim, but, has only made him more popular among the audiences.

It can also be said that Jackman has been extremely smart or fortunate to have worked with various fantastic directors in the early stages of their careers such as Darren Aronofsky (“The Fountain”), Christopher Nolan (“The Prestige”) and Denis Villeneuve (“Prisoners”).

The most respected movie performance by Hugh Jackman has been his evil Jean Valjean in “Les Miserables,” a performance which won him his first Golden Globe Award apart from nominations for Oscar and SAG Awards. Ironically, he won these awards for the only musical movie, because a vast number of Broadway fans identify Hugh Jackman as a song-and-dance guy.

Jackson first became internationally famous courtesy of his highly appreciated performance as Curly in a 1998 London production of “Oklahoma!” After he spent some years building up a movie profile, Jackman arrived on Broadway in a big way by playing Peter Allen in the musical comedy “The Boy From Oz,” which earned him a Tony Award in 2004. He even went back to New York in 2011 for a successful solo song-and-dance show, “Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway.”

Thus, it was almost unavoidable if the two worlds of Hugh Jackman converged in a movie, and that happened with last year’s song-and-dance musical “The Greatest Showman.” In this film, Hugh Jackman played the iconic creative person P.T. Barnum. The film has already been nominated for Best Picture by The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and Jackman has also been nominated for Best Actor Golden Globe Award for a third time.
