A Historic Milestone

Greta Gerwig's groundbreaking film "Barbie" has achieved a remarkable feat in the global box office, becoming the first-ever movie directed by a woman to surpass the billion-dollar mark. This monumental achievement sets a new standard in the industry. Starring the talented duo of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, "Barbie" has garnered an impressive $1.03 billion worldwide, with an astounding $459 million originating from North America alone.

Unprecedented Success

The success of "Barbie" is not only historic but also unprecedented. It represents the first time that a female director has independently reached the billion-dollar milestone. Previous films that achieved this remarkable feat were co-directed by both men and women. Furthermore, "Barbie" has secured its position as the second highest-grossing film of the year, narrowly trailing behind "Super Mario Bros."

Sustained Triumph

Despite experiencing a 43% decline in box office revenue during its third weekend, "Barbie" managed to retain its position at the top, earning an impressive $53 million. Its domestic total now stands at a staggering $459.3 million, placing it in the 24th spot on the all-time box office chart. The film's international success is noteworthy, with the United Kingdom and Mexico emerging as its biggest markets. Notably, the United Kingdom has contributed a substantial $87.9 million in revenue.

Fierce Competition

Warner Bros.' latest offering, "En eaux très troubles," debuted in second place, amassing $30 million in domestic revenue. Serving as a sequel to "The Meg," the film garnered significant attention in China, where it earned an impressive $53.3 million. Currently, it is captivating audiences in 42 markets across the globe.

New Contenders

"Oppenheimer," another Warner Bros. production, slipped to third place during its third weekend, generating $28.7 million domestically. Nevertheless, its international performance remained relatively stable, experiencing only a 31% decrease in revenue. To date, the film has accumulated a total of $552.9 million worldwide. Paramount's animated action-comedy film, "Ninja Turtles: Teenage Years," made its debut in fourth place, raking in $28 million in domestic revenue. The film had a strong start, earning an impressive $43.1 million in its first five days of release. It is currently captivating audiences in 24 other countries, with the United Kingdom emerging as its largest market. Disney's "Le Manoir hanté" rounded out the top five, although it experienced a significant decline in revenue, earning a mere $9 million in its second weekend. Notably, the film is yet to be released in key markets such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan.
