‘Barbie’ Emerges as North America’s Top Grossing Film of 2023

Date:

The summer sensation has undeniably been the movie ‘Barbie.’

Shortly after the remarkable achievement of Greta Gerwig’s creation, which soared to an impressive $1.18 billion, securing its position as the highest-grossing live-action film directed by a woman, the Margot Robbie-led production has now claimed its throne as the highest-earning cinematic masterpiece of 2023 in North America. This triumph has outshone even ‘The Super Mario Bros Movie,’ garnered a considerable $574 million domestically. Contrastingly, the dazzling success of ‘Barbie’ has catapulted its earnings to an impressive $575.4 million.

At present, the whimsical comedy, brought to life by the dynamic duo of Robbie and Ryan Gosling under the banner of Mattel, has crossed the astonishing $1.3 billion mark on a global scale. Shortly, it is poised to outshine ‘Mario,’ surging past the remarkable $1.35 billion milestone, solidifying its stature as the reigning worldwide blockbuster of the year. Notably, only these two cinematic marvels crossed the $1 billion benchmark in 2023, remarkably avoiding the trends of superhero sagas and franchise sequels.

During its grand debut, ‘Barbie’ enthralled audiences with an unparalleled opening of $162 million, securing its position as the premier debut of the year. It continued to reign supreme for an impressive four consecutive weeks. Standing tall as the 14th highest-grossing domestic release and the 20th highest-grossing global release of all time, ‘Barbie’ continues to captivate. The film boasts a stellar ensemble cast, featuring not only Robbie and Gosling but also luminaries such as America Ferrera, Issa Rae, Will Ferrell, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, and Michael Cera.

In parallel entertainment news, Netflix has divulged that Zack Snyder’s extended edition of ‘Rebel Moon’ will treat fans to an additional hour of captivating content.
