The success of the ‘Barbie‘ movie at the global box office continues, and it continues to prove it by humiliating the recent superhero productions, the genre that has dominated in recent years, launched by the famous Marvel and DC franchises.
With the most recent production of this genre entitled ‘Blue Beetle‘ from DC, it has been possible to verify the little interest that this type of film is having due to its disappointing debut compared to the great numbers of ‘Barbie’.
Despite the fact that this new installment of superheroes managed to debut as number 1 at the global box office in United States, surpassing Mattel‘s doll movie, this is because ‘Barbie’ is already going through its fifth week on the billboard and already its weeks strong passed.
Among the latest unsuccessful DC productions launched this year, ‘Shazam 2‘ and ‘The Flash‘, ‘Blue Beetle’ has been the most successful with approximately 40 million dollars grossed at the box office worldwide.
For its part, Marvel has not had a year of great success either this 2023, after the great failure of its series ‘Secret Invasion‘, the films ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania‘ and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3‘ that despite having good collections, they do not come close to surpassing the milestone that ‘Barbie’ achieved.
A month after its release, ‘Barbie’ is expected to return to the top next week to close its run on the billboard. So far, Mattel’s doll movie has managed to raise approximately 1.28 billion dollars, which could lead it to be the most successful of the year, humiliating Marvel and DC.
