"Keanu Reeves' Billion-Dollar Blockbuster: The Matrix Star's Record-Breaking Success" Dec 28, 2023

Keanu Reeves, the beloved Hollywood actor known for his combat skills, on-screen presence, and charisma, has had one $1 billion box-office blockbuster in his four-decade-long career. While iconic roles like Neo in The Matrix and John Wick have helped Reeves achieve superstardom, it is Toy Story 4 that holds the record for his highest-grossing film. In the 2019 animated comedy, Reeves voiced Duke Caboom, a Canadian daredevil toy with a limited role but a strong connection to the actor. Toy Story 4 grossed $1.073 billion globally, finally allowing Reeves to reach the elusive $1 billion mark

The Matrix Reloaded, released in 2003, stands as his second-highest-grossing film at $738 million. It took four chapters of the John Wick franchise to surpass $1 billion at the box office. Interestingly, Reeves landed the role in Toy Story 4 not because of his popular franchises, but because director Josh Cooley was impressed by his voice during a blind audio test. Tim Allen, who voices Buzz Lightyear in the franchise, compared Reeves' performance to Michael Keaton's Ken in Toy Story 3.
