In a groundbreaking achievement, Greta Gerwig’s rendition of ‘Barbie’ has officially crossed the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office.
A mere 17 days following its premiere, ‘Barbillion’ has entered the prestigious billion-dollar league, emerging as Warner Bros.’s fastest title to achieve this remarkable feat in the studio’s history. The film has already amassed a staggering $459 million within North America and an impressive $572 million in international markets. This feat outshines the previous record holder, ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,’ which took 19 days to achieve similar results.
Notably, ‘Barbillion’ is the sixth movie of the pandemic era to break the $1 billion barrier. It follows the ranks of ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home,’ ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ ‘Jurassic World Dominion,’ and ‘Avatar: The Way of Water.’ Furthermore, Greta Gerwig has etched her name as the first solo female filmmaker to helm a billion-dollar film.
Jeff Goldstein, President of Domestic Distribution at Warner Bros., expressed his enthusiasm about the achievement, stating, “It’s an illustrious club to be a part of.” He made these remarks during a recent conversation.
Jeff Goldstein and Andrew Cripps, President of International Distribution, said, “This marks a pivotal moment for ‘Barbie.’ Greta Gerwig’s exceptional craftsmanship has breathed life into this cross-generational icon and her universe. The film delivers a captivating blend of humor, emotion, and entertainment that resonates with a broad spectrum of audiences, ultimately painting the world in shades of pink.”
The overwhelming response, evident in lengthy queues and repeated viewings, reaffirms the resurgence of cinema on a grand scale. The film industry is witnessing a mighty revival, and the limitless potential of ‘Barbie’ in the real world is a sight to anticipate.
Shifting gears to the entertainment realm, Dwayne Johnson has shared insights regarding the cancellation of ‘Black Adam 2.’
