The film directed by Greta Gerwig breaks a record, according to estimates on Sunday from the specialized firm Exhibitor Relations.
The film Barbie directed by Greta Gerwig has passed the milestone of one billion dollars in worldwide box office receipts, a first for a solo director, according to estimates on Sunday August 6 from the specialized firm Exhibitor Relations. With the duo Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, already iconic as Barbie and Ken, the comedy which features the doll venturing into the real world totals more than 1.03 billion dollars worldwide, including 459 million dollars in North America.
The pink wave Barbie continues to sweep through cinemas, three weekends after its long-awaited release. The film, which was the subject of an intense marketing campaign, quickly established itself as a huge commercial success. With an additional $ 53 million earned over the weekend in North America, it offers a breath of fresh air to cinemas, hard hit by the Covid-19 and the switch of the public to streaming services.
