Zack Sharf Digital News Director Greta Gerwig told The New York Times that watching her “Barbie” movie become a historic comedy blockbuster has been “so amazing.” The film debuted to a whopping $162 million, breaking the opening weekend record for a female director.
It then scored $26 million on its first Monday after release, setting a new Warner Bros. in-house record for the studio’s top Monday grosser. “I wanted to make something anarchic and wild and funny and cathartic,” Gerwig said. “The idea that it’s actually being received that way, it’s sort of extraordinary.” With broken records and critical acclaim, conversations around “Barbie” are already turning towards a potential sequel.
The New York Times asked Gerwig if “Barbie” is “the start of a franchise” or “a complete story with a definitive ending.” The director and co-writer gave no definitive answer but said she’s not thinking about a follow-up at this time. “At this moment, it’s all I’ve got,” Gerwig said. “I feel like that at the end of every movie, like I’ll never have another idea and everything I’ve ever wanted to do, I did.
I wouldn’t want to squash anybody else’s dream but for me, at this moment, I’m at totally zero.” Gerwig also weighed in on the conservative backlash that has erupted over the movie.
