'Barbie' is making box office history! abc15
“Barbie” has answered the billion-dollar question with a resounding “yes.” Barely three weeks into its run, writer-director Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster has raked in an astounding $1.03 billion at the global box office, according to official Warner Bros. estimates. This makes Gerwig the first female director with a billion-dollar movie.
According to Dergarabedian, only about 50 films in history, unadjusted for inflation, have hit the billion-dollar mark. “I think I told them they’d make a billion dollars which, maybe I was overselling, but we had a movie to make!” she said. “Barbie” also performed well in China, the second-largest market in the world and one that has become increasingly insular over the past few years. According to experts, franchise films like “Transformers,” “Fast and Furious,” and Marvel’s superhero movies tend to perform well with Chinese audiences.
