The Barbie movie continues to break records at the box office. Directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie, the movie reached $537.5 million in ticket sales in the US. With this figure, Barbie managed to break a first for Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. favorite is no longer The Dark Knight
Released on July 21, the Barbie movie is toppling the charts. Having previously crossed the $1 billion threshold at the global box office, it has now become Warner Bros.’ highest earning movie in the US. The previous record holder was Christopher Nolan’s Batman movie The Dark Knight. Released in 2008, the movie grossed $536 million.
However, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is still in first place worldwide. With $1.34 billion at the box office, the latest Harry Potter installment holds the title of Warner Bros.’ highest-grossing movie. Barbie, on the other hand, earned $1.19 billion worldwide.
The lead actress of the Barbie film, Margot Robbie, has been revealed to have earned a substantial amount from the movie.
The highest-earning movie this year was The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which was released in April. It earned 1.3 billion dollars worldwide. However, Barbie is expected to be the highest grossing movie of 2023.
This success has fueled rumors of a Barbie sequel. Although Barbie 2 has not yet been confirmed, the success of the movie cannot be ignored.
Let us remind you that the movie will come to the digital world on September 5 and can be watched on HBO Max. However, since HBO is not active in our country, copyrights may be purchased by a different platform.
