‘Barbie’ Global Box Office Heads Toward Major Coveted Milestone
The Big Picture Everybody knew that Greta Gerwig’s Barbie had "hit" written all over it, but nobody anticipated that it would be this massive at the global box office. After just 10 days in theaters, the satirical comedy based on the iconic Mattel doll has passed the $774 million mark worldwide, and is on track to become only the second film of the year to pass the coveted $1 billion mark globally, after The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken, the film opened to $350 million worldwide in its first weekend of release, easily outpacing projections. The film was produced on a reported budget of around $150 million, which makes it a massive hit for W.B. The studio needed a win, especially after recent superhero disasters such as Black Adam, Shazam! Fury of the Gods and The Flash.
