Will Greta Gerwig’s summer blockbuster be able to surpass the lifetime haul of last year’s number one film?
The Big Picture The legendary “Barbenheimer” event has delivered over $2 billion in global grosses, almost bringing the theatrical marketplace back to pre-pandemic heights. Both Barbie and Oppenheimer helped bring this year’s summer movie season to within touching distance of how things used to be back in 2019. And there’s more reason for the two blockbusters to celebrate this weekend. While Oppenheimer approaches $900 million globally, Barbie has now passed the $1.
The film’s success will no doubt go down in history. Sure, it’s based on established IP like so many other big-budget releases these days, but Barbie also unquestionably plays like a movie that only writer-director Greta Gerwig could’ve made. Having made a name for herself years ago in the mumblecore movement, Gerwig has made gradual progress in her filmmaking career.
