Lawless
Jessica Chastain will be view in the upcoming Paramount+ miniseriesGeorge & Tammy , where she will depict country music Isaac Bashevis Singer Tammy Wynette opposite Michael Shannon ’s George Jones . And , while she does at times turn over back into scummy - budget prestige work , the performer has also become a expectant - budget Hollywood anchor .

The Debt (2010) — $45.6 Million
The Debtwas an early film for Chastain , and with aBox Office Mojo - reported budget of $ 20 million , one of the biggest . It was shortly afterThe Debtthat she discover herself in truth playing the lead , as opposed to the untried version of the true lead ( Helen Mirren ) . But it showed Chastain ’s ability to stand out both in activeness / espionage - drive composition and striking pieces in equal measure .
That suppose , The Debtwas more of a stepping Isidor Feinstein Stone to mainstream success for Chastain more than mainstream success itself . The film play in wide release but was n’t considered must - see amusement . The film barely cleared $ 45 million worldwide and has mostly been forgotten in the age since .
Lawless (2012) — $55.4 Million
The 2012 bootlegging law-breaking dramatic event , Lawless , team Chastain up with a remarkable cast . Playings Maggie Beauford , she manages to slip some of the photographic film ’s quieter picture with Tom Hardy ’s Forrest Bondurant when he and his brother Jack ( Shia LaBeouf ) are n’t out rum - running .
The Numberslists the celluloid ’s budget at $ 26 million and with a dramatis personae admit Chastain , Hardy , Guy Pearce , LaBeouf , Gary Oldman , Mia Wasikowska , and Jason Clarke , it ’s astonishing the price tag was maintain as depleted as it was . However , even with the stacked roll , the moving-picture show only make do to crystallise $ 55.4 million worldwide .
Zero Dark Thirty (2012) — $132.8 Million
When college film classes of necessity look back on Chastain ’s career , they ’ll point toZero Dark Thirtyas the one that made her star skyrocket . Kathryn Bigelow repeated her wartime Oscar lovemaking fromThe Hurt Lockerwith the film , and it did n’t disappoint , nor did Chastain in the intensive role of the protagonist " Maya . "
Just asZero Dark Thirtyis one ofChastain ’s most critically - revered film , it ’s also one of her most successful . The movie view as a fairly lowly budget of $ 40 million ( perBox Office Mojo ) , which is a figure it more than tripled when all world-wide ticket sales were taken into account .
The Huntsman: Winter’s War (2016) — $165 Million
Chris Hemsworth dropped Mjolnir afterThorandThe Avengersto impersonate the 2d title character inSnow White and the Huntsman . Then , four age subsequently , he got his own spinoff inThe Huntsman : Winter ’s War , but unlike its predecessor , it did n’t even do like a bighearted - budget flick .
The spinoff is n’t one ofChris Hemsworth ’s top - grossing filmsnor did it add up tight to the worldwide count of the original . By the fourth dimension it had moved on to cyclosis and Blu - ray , the spin - off had only generated $ 48.4 million from U.S. and Canadian theaters and an equally paltry $ 116.6 million from all international market place ( perBox Office Mojo ) .
The Help (2011) — $216.6 Million
The Help ’s last focus is Chastain ’s Celia Foote , but she ’s an interesting fictional character in her own right field . Chastain makes Foote seem well-informed , but also a fiddling naive , which can prove debatable when one is the new fish in an old , squiffy - knit pool .
The Helpwas a sizeable hit , even if metre has shown it to be a somewhat whitewashed celluloid that should have employed far more Black Americans behind the scenes ( for example for the role as the film ’s director ) . Regardless , the tardy - summer hit father virtually $ 170 million in domestic gross ( perBox Office Mojo ) and another $ 47 million abroad , all on a budget of just $ 25 million .
X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019) — $252.4 Million
It hire a bit for Chastain to get her major superhero film and , unfortunately , it was the last mainX - Menfilm while the property was under Fox . Dark Phoenixis a notorious mess , arguably even bad thanX - Men : The Last Stand , and just about any audience phallus would be forgiven for completely forgetting Chastain is even in the movie ( as the independent baddie , much less ) . She essentially plays the body the alien opponent live , as it attempts to elicit the mortal Phoenix from Jean Grey , and she does well with the office as it is given .
Dark Phoenixis one of the bad box office bombs of all time , and it ’s going to remain that way for quite some time . The rebootedX - Menfranchise had understandably run out of steam by the timeX - Men : Apocalypseshrugged its way through theaters , so re - doing a plot line that already die on the magnanimous concealment just ended up being a ill-conceived yet well - intentioned speculation .
It pay up the fiscal price . On a budget of $ 200 million ( perBox Office Mojo),Dark Phoenixnetted a dreadful $ 65.8 million in the U.S. and Canada . Not even its $ 186.6 million external tallycould save it from " bomb " position .
It: Chapter Two (2019) — $473.1 Million
If there ’s a lawful main character of the Losers Club , it ’s not Georgie , but Beverly ( Chastain ) , as she ’s the character with the smashing transmutation over the course of the narrative . She ’s also the case with the scariest scenery ( most of which do n’t even involve Pennywise the Dancing Clown ) . last , she ’s more or less the glue that keep the mathematical group together ( in both the al-Qur’an and films ) . Chastain has to share most of her screen clock time , andIt : Chapter 2never gels like the first film , but the second one-half being inferior to the first was inevitable forIt , and the performer does what she can with what he has .
The firstItfilm cleared $ 300 million domestic ( perBox Office Mojo ) , amaze for any repulsion projection even with King ’s name attached . The second moving-picture show , however , scarcely realise $ 200 , and on a budget over doubly as much as the master copy . irrespective , an $ 80 million dollar film ( also perBox Office Mojo ) scoring $ 470 million worldwide makes it a hit .
The Martian (2015) — $630.6 Million
Ridley Scott’sThe Martianspends most of its metre with Mark Watney ( Matt Damon ) , but his superior military officer , Commander Melissa Lewis ( Chastain ) , is instrumental in his ultimate rescue . It ’s a role that allow Chastain ample chance to display her range , and she knocks it out of the park .
Scott ’s film carried a budget of $ 108 million , but it was deserving the gamble because it earned half that ( almost just , fortunately enough ) over the course of its first three days in U.S. theaters . stable gear on $ 400 million from international territory ( perBox Office Mojo ) andThe Martianwas a major success and the biggest for Scott since 2007’sAmerican Gangster .
Interstellar (2014) — $701.7 Million
Chastain had perhaps the most important role in the plot of Christopher Nolan ’s massively - scoped sci - fi filmInterstellar . As " Murph " Cooper , the daughter of Matthew McConaughey ’s persuasion - lost NASA pilot film Joseph , Chastain carry the majority of the film ’s emotional heft and even proves to be the key to the plot ’s resolution .
Interstellarhad a lot of hype go for it , but the movie did O.K. at best in the domesticated market ( look at its $ 165 million budget , perBox Office Mojo ) with $ 188 million . But it was overseas markets that allowed Nolan ’s film some gainfulness , with a worldwide totality of just over $ 700 million .
Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted (2012) — $746.9 Million
Chastain step into Dreamworks Animation’sMadagascarfor the third installment , which saw the crew of creature pals finding their elbow room to a genus Circus . It ’s there they meet Chastain ’s Gia , an Italian panther who is integral to the quartet ’s base hit . Gia ’s best setting are shared with Ben Stiller ’s Alex the lion , and those alone are enough to make Gia an fantabulous addition to the enfranchisement .
There has n’t been a fourth official installment of the franchise ( though the Penguins still do quite well ) , butMadagascar 3 : Europe ’s Most Wantedwas one of Summer 2012 ’s big hits . It was granted a fairly massive budget of $ 145 million but beat that anatomy domestically with $ 216 million . However , the film ’s overseas gross of $ 530.5 million ( perBox Office Mojo ) should have guarantee another sequel well before 2022 .
