In 2018, Blanchett starred in "Ocean's 8", the all-female spin-off of the "Ocean's Eleven" franchise, directed by Gary Ross, opposite Sandra Bullock, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Paulson, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, Rihanna and Awkwafina. The film garnered mainly mixed reviews but was a box office success, earning over $297 million worldwide. Owen Gleiberman of "Variety" lamented that Blanchett and co-star Paulson "don't get a chance to create indelible characters". She also portrayed Florence Zimmerman in the film adaptation of "The House with a Clock in Its Walls" directed by Eli Roth. Blanchett was appointed the President of the Jury of the 71st Cannes Film Festival, which took place in May 2018, and in the same year, "Forbes" listed her as one of world's highest-paid actresses with annual earnings of $12.5 million.
