New queens in town
Scarlett, topping the list this year, is not surprising at all. Her part as Black Widow in 'Avengers' stands out. Furthermore, she appeared in some other major movies between June 2017 and 2018. These include 'Rough Night', and Wes Anderson's exquisite 'Isle of Dogs'. Interestingly, the second spot was held by Angelina Jolie who didn't appear in a single movie in the stipulated time-frame.

Looking back, Deepika had landed on the sixth spot of the 2017 list with an earning of $11 million. The actress reached the coveted spot due to two major signings. She acted in 'xXx: Return of Xander Cage' and 'Padmaavat'. Coupled with her endorsements, the star had a lucrative year last year. However, this year she did not have many movies in her kitty.
