This rendition of Barbie has become box office royalty, surpassing even Batman.

“Barbie” has now reached a remarkable milestone, surpassing $537 million in ticket sales. This achievement has made it the highest-grossing domestic movie in the illustrious 100-year history of Warner Bros. Discovery. It surpasses the previous record set by Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed film “The Dark Knight,” which generated $536 million in 2008.

The collaboration between filmmaker Greta Gerwig, iconic toy brand Mattel, and Warner Bros. has proven to be a bubblegum pink sensation, accumulating over $1.2 billion worldwide since its release on July 21. The success of this movie marks the first billion-dollar film for Warner Bros. Discovery, resulting from the merger of Warner Media and Discover in 2022. Additionally, it is only the second film released in 2023 to achieve this feat, as Universal’s “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” has already surpassed $1.3 billion since its April premiere.

In a time when high-budget films struggle to captivate audiences, “Barbie” emerges as a testament to the enduring appeal of quality cinema and communal experiences. Alongside Christopher Nolan’s latest work “Oppenheimer,” which has grossed over $250 million domestically, “Barbie” reigns supreme as the number one film at the box office. Analysts predict that “Barbie” will continue to dominate the box office in the coming weeks, benefitting from limited competition and positive word of mouth.

Disclosure: Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal and CNBC, holds ownership of this film.
