With such promising progress, it has been proven that Barbie will soon join the billion dollars league just like last year’s Top Gun: Maverick starring Tom Cruise. Along with this, the film has also broken several records including the biggest opening of 2023 as well as the biggest opening by a female director so far in history.
Gerwig is undoubtedly making history with her latest project because the film is neither a sequel nor a prequel to any hit number and is solely managed through marketing and the fact that the Barbies are a popular play for many people, especially young girls.
Furthermore, the film has made history by being the highest second-weekend box-office collection. Also, its cast members Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling’s popularity helped to some extent attract fans to watch the film.
