‘Barbie’ Global Box Office Eyes Record-Breaking Debut
"Barbenheimer" day is upon us, and it’s living up to the hype. Director Greta Gerwig’s sharp comedy Barbie is leading the race against Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer both domestically and internationally, on the back of some truly astonishing numbers. We’re talking superhero territory here. The movie is well on its way to deliver the top opening weekend of the year so far at the domestic box office, and it’s managing to attract significant interest overseas as well.
Barbie opened to $70 million on its first day of release at the domestic box office, including $22 million from Thursday previews. The movie is currently tracking to gross over $155 million across the three-day weekend, with Warner Bros. playing it slightly conservative and sticking to $150 million, while some of the more bullish estimates peg the opening in the $160 million range.
Barbie received a strong A CinemaScore from opening day audiences, and is currently sitting at an excellent 90% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Collider’s Ross Bonaime also had high praise for the movie in his review, stating “Barbie is also an example of how getting the right people behind an unusual idea can make something truly beautiful come out of it.
The Movie Is Setting New Records Domestically, Barbie is also on track to become the biggest opener for a solo female filmmaker, overtaking Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman from 2017. Directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s Captain Marvel debuted to $153 million in 2019. It’s also among the biggest debuts ever for a female-skewing movie, and is performing in the range of the later Hunger Games and Twilight titles.
