The ‘Barbie’ Movie Just Broke Another Box Office Record a Month After Its Premiere

Come on Barbie, let’s go make history. Not only has the芭比娃娃电影become thehighest-grossing film of 2023(surpassing The Super Mario Bros. Movie), but the live-action comedy has now officially broken a new record for its distribution company, Warner Bros. Pictures.

Per a report byThe Hollywood Reporter,芭比娃娃has earned a total of $1.342 billion at the worldwide box office, making it the highest-grossing Warner Bros. movie of all time.

The record was previously held byHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2(which premiered in theaters in 2011). Shortly after making its grand debut in cinemas, the final installment in theHarry Potter电影franchise earned$1.341 billionaround the world.

This new record comes after芭比娃娃starMargot Robbiepredicted the movie would hit the $1 billion mark in an interview withColliderthis year. (And boy, was she right.)

“I think my pitch in the green-light meeting was the studios have prospered so much when they’re brave enough to pair a big idea with a visionary director,” the actress told the outlet.

Robbie continued, “And I was like, “And now you’ve got Barbie and Greta Gerwig.’ And I think I told them that it’d make a billion dollars, which maybe I was overselling, but we had a movie to make, okay?”
