In modern box office history, just 53 movies have made over $1 billion, not accounting for inflation, and “ Barbie” is now the biggest to be directed by one woman, supplanting “ Wonder Woman’s” $821.8 million global total. Gran Turismo takes weekend box office crown over Barbie after all Gran Turismo and Barbie are neck-and-neck at the box office “As distribution chiefs, we’re not often rendered speechless by a film’s performance, but Barbillion has blown even our most optimistic predictions out of the water,” said Jeff Goldstein and Andrew Cripps, who oversee domestic and international distribution for the studio, in a joint statement.

It crossed $400 million domestic and $500 million internationally faster than any other movie at the studio, including the Harry Potter films. The Margot Robbie-led and produced film has been comfortably seated in first place for three weeks and it’s hardly finished yet. “ Barbie,” which Gerwig directed and co-wrote, added another $53 million from 4,178 North American locations this weekend and $74 million internationally, bringing its global total to $1.03 billion, according to studio estimates on Sunday.

In just three weeks in theaters, “ Barbie” is set to sail past $1 billion in global ticket sales, breaking a record for female directors that was previously held by Patty Jenkins, who helmed “ Wonder Woman.” Greta Gerwig should be feeling closer to fine these days.
