Movie Barbie has conquered The Super Mario Bros. Movie in the domestic market, and will soon surpass it worldwide and become the highest-grossing film in 2023 in the next day or two. Now this film has also broken Warner Bros. record. which has survived for 12 years, passing through Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and becoming the studio's highest-grossing film.
The 12-year record held by the last film in the Harry Potter saga was finally replaced by Barbie, as the Margot Robbie film surpassed Potter's $1.342 billion gross and claimed her place as queen of Warner Bros. This feat is even more impressive when you see that Warner Bros.'s list of the 25 best films. all time consists of only four non-franchise films, namely Inception, It, Gravity, and now Barbie.
Having broken many records during its run, it's worth remembering that Barbie isn't finished yet. The film is still playing in theaters, and will soon be released on on-demand, MAX, and home video, which will no doubt generate even more records in the coming months. For the studio, this is the boost they need after so many disappointments with films like The Flash not living up to their potential at the summer box office. If someone had said a year ago that Barbie would be their savior in 2023, they would probably have been laughed at. This goes to show that you should never underestimate the power of the stereotype of a blonde girl.
It remains to be seen how deeply the film's upcoming digital release will impact its theatrical performance in the coming weeks, but given how stellar the film's performance has been so far, the sudden dip wouldn't be surprising. Barbie debuted with a record $162 million in its opening weekend domestically (United States) in July, as it went up against director Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer in the battle for what became known as “Barbenheimer” – the two most-publicized films and has generated more than $2 billion in theatrical revenue globally.
Barbie grossed $93 million in its second weekend, $53 million in its third weekend, $33 million in its fourth weekend, $21 million in its fifth weekend, and an estimated $15 million in its sixth weekend. The film topped the weekend box office four times in a row and was at number one for 28 days in a row before being overtaken by last week's debut film, Blue Beetle. Throughout its run, Barbie has broken several box office records, including being the biggest film ever directed by a female filmmaker, and being the highest-grossing film in Warner Bros. history. at the domestic box office, after overtaking Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight ($533 million).
It's a huge feat for everyone involved, including Greta Gerwig, who has methodically worked her way up the Hollywood ladder to become part of the A-list pantheon, as well as stars like Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. This film also stars America Ferrera, Issa Rae, Simu Liu, Michael Cera, Kate McKinnon, Will Ferrell, and others.
