Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Barbie” is saying “hiya” to the billion-dollar club. Greta Gerwig’s pink-coated fantasy comedy surpassed $1 billion at the global box office, including $459 million in North America and $572 million internationally.
It’s the first film directed solely by a woman to gross more than $1 billion. And “Barbie” is hitting the coveted milestone after just 17 days of release, the fastest Warner Bros.
release (and eighth in the studio’s 100-year history) to join the $1 billion club. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” previously held that record at 19 days. “It’s a good club to be in,” says Jeff Goldstein, the studio’s president of domestic distribution. “Barbie” is only the sixth pandemic-era movie to cross $1 billion, following “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Jurassic World Dominion,” “Avatar: The Way of Water” and “The Super Mario Bros.
Movie.” “Barbie” has remained No. 1 for three consecutive weekends, bringing in $53 million between Friday and Sunday despite competition from “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” “Meg 2: The Trench” and “Oppenheimer.” The rapturously reviewed film opened on July 21 and smashed expectations with its $155 million debut, ranking as the biggest opening weekend of the year, as well as the best start for a film directed by a woman.
