‘Barbie’ has made history with its incredible box office success. The movie was released in theaters on July 21, 2023, and since then, it has broken several records within the industry.

Within just 17 days of being in theaters, Barbie has officially passed $1 billion in ticket sales.

Though Barbie’s release was coupled with Oppenheimer, which led to the ‘Barbenheimer’ social media craze, Barbie dominated all other films and had the biggest opening day and weekend of the year.

In addition to being the first film directed by a solo woman to make it to $1 billion, Barbie also had the biggest opening weekend for any film ever directed by a woman.

Warner Bros. films do great in theaters, but Barbie still broke three of the studio’s records. Barbie had the biggest opening week of any Warner Bros. film to date, as well as the biggest Monday after an opening weekend, with $26.1 million on Monday alone.

When Gerwig decided to make Barbie, many had doubts as to whether or not a movie about a toy could be extremely successful. But they were wrong!

Before Barbie even hit the big screen, the presale tickets were higher than the film industry had ever seen before. Previously, Avatar: The Way of Water held the title for most presales, but not anymore.

Finally, we all know that Robbie and Gosling are huge stars. But Barbie has proved to have the biggest opening week in both their careers. Previously, Robbie’s biggest film at the box office was Suicide Squad with $133.7 million, and Goslings was Blade Runner 2049 with only $32.8 million.
