In a remarkable achievement, the ‘Barbie’ movie has now secured its place as the highest-grossing global release in the storied history of Warner Bros. The film has outperformed even the formidable ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2’, achieving a staggering worldwide gross of $1.32 billion.
In an astonishingly short span of 17 days, the movie crossed the monumental threshold of $1 billion in global ticket sales, surpassing the pace set by the finale of the Harry Potter series, which took 19 days to reach the same milestone.
The film’s distinctive pink hue mirrors its dazzling success, and it is poised to ascend beyond ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ to become the most lucrative film of the year. Presently, the plumbing sibling duo’s adventure holds the record with a total of $1.359 billion in box office earnings.
Furthermore, the ‘Barbie’ movie has etched another landmark by propelling Greta Gerwig into history as the first solo female director to achieve over $1 billion in global box office revenue.
While the 2017 ‘Wonder Woman’ film, directed by Patty Jenkins, came tantalizingly close to the billion-dollar mark with a worldwide haul of $823 million, ‘Barbie’ has decisively breached that milestone, amplifying its triumph.
The movie’s constellation of stars has garnered effusive acclaim for their exceptional portrayals on screen, cementing their place in the spotlight with a cascade of praise.
