At this point in the rankings, Benedict Cumberbatch versus Robin Williams is best read as a compact career snapshot rather than an all-time verdict. The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Benedict Cumberbatch's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark.

Commercial scale is another meaningful divider, with the career domestic box office measure giving Benedict Cumberbatch the larger theatrical footprint. Taken together, the comparison suggests leans toward Robin Williams while still showing distinct strengths on each side.
