Downey’s success is largely due to the dominance of Avengers: Age of Ultron in China, the region where Chan is most popular. The Avengers sequel brought in $240 million at the Chinese box office alone.
Rounding off the top five are Furious 7 star Vin Diesel, his Guardians of the Galaxy co-start Bradley Cooper, and Pixels star Adam Sandler.
Downey will receive his next sizable paycheck from Marvel for appearing in Captain America: Civil War. Check out when this movie and other movies are coming out in ComicBook.com’s Movie Release Schedule.
