Greta Gerwig’s Barbie made a historic $155m in its opening weekend. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling starred has now grossed over half a billion dollars, driving cinema’s busiest week since pre-pandemic times.
Per Deadline’s reporting, the running total on Gerwig’s take on the iconic doll is currently sitting at $528.6 million worldwide. Barbie has reached more viewers than The Dark Knight and Aquaman’s records for consecutive weekday takings for Warner Bros. – and become the studio’s second-best opening week in the UK ever, trailing only the franchise-closing installment of the Harry Potter series.
