'Barbie' Global Box Office Smashes 'The Dark Knight Rises' Record
The Big Picture Barbie was part of the biggest event this summer: Barbenheimer. A perfect double feature with Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer became the must-see of the summer season.
In its fourth weekend in theaters, Barbie brought in $45.1 million dollars on 17,296 screens in 75 overseas markets. Barbie has broken the billion dollar mark and this weekend pushes her international total to $657.6m and makes the global total officially at an incredible $1.184 billion dollars. This marks Barbie as a historic film. It is now the highest grossing live-action movie across the world from a female director.
This also marks a historic moment for Warner Bros. with Barbie surpassing The Dark Knight Rises as well as 3 of the Harry Potter films to make the Top 10 List of the Biggest WB Titles of All Time Internationally. Looks like the iconic doll is taking on Nolan in more than one way at the box office this summer.
Welcome to Barbieland! Barbie as a film isn't the most original thing in the world, given the fact that Barbie is based on the wildly popular toy of the same name. Where the film stands out is its commentary on the world at large, recognizing the issues with Barbie as a brand, and remembering why we as children loved her despite her flaws. Seeing Barbie on the big screen has made many fans of the toy emotional and many people have gone back multiple times to see Barbie as much as possible.
