The movie "Barbie" has crossed the $1 billion mark in global ticket sales since the film's release in theaters more than two weeks ago. With this success, director Greta Gerwig has broken a record for female directors previously held by "Wonder Woman" director Patty Jenkins.
Warner Bros. Pictures announced Sunday that the film grossed $459 million from North American theaters and another $572.1 million overseas over the weekend — a total of $1.0315 billion.
Directed by Greta Gerwig, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken, the film sends the famous doll on a real-world adventure.
In modern box office history, only 53 films have grossed over $1 billion, not accounting for inflation. Three films co-directed by women are still ahead of Barbie, including “Frozen” ($1.3 billion) and “Frozen 2” ($1.45 billion), both co-directed by Jennifer Lee, and “Captain Marvel” ($1.1 billion). co-directed by Anna Boden.
"Oppenheimer" has collected 552 million dollars worldwide. In just three weeks, the biopic about J Robert Oppenheimer starring Cillian Murphy has become the highest-grossing r-rated film of the year.
"Oppenheimer" is now among the highest-grossing biographies in history.
