According to Box Office Mojo, Ford edged past Jackson following the latest update on the site, with the "Star Wars" star now having $4.699 billion over "The Avengers" star's $4.626 billion.
What got Ford over the top was the latest tally for "The Force Awakens," which to date has a $764 million domestic gross, passing "Avatar" for the all-time box office record in the US.
Expect Ford and Jackson to trade the number-one spot in the coming years: Jackson has "The Legend of Tarzan" and "Kong: Skull Island" coming soon while Ford has the "Untitled Blade Runner Project," "Indiana Jones 5," and "Star Wars: Episode VIII" in the works.
Rounding out the list are Tom Hanks at #3 ($4.334 billion), Tom Cruise at #6 ($3.587 billion), and the top women on the list is Cameron Diaz with $3.031 billion.
