The ‘Barbie‘ live action movie phenomenon is still going strong all over the world and two weeks before its release. It is for this reason that the film has so far managed to collect an impressive amount of money at the box office, already threatening ‘Mario Bros: The Movie‘ to fight for the title of the most successful film of the year.
‘Barbie’, directed by Greta Gerwig, is achieving unprecedented milestones for female-directed films. All indications are that it may also become the highest-grossing film ever directed by a woman, but it also threatens to become the highest-grossing film of the year.
So far, the film of the iconic doll is said to have already grossed more than $600 million at the worldwide box office in just two weeks. This figure is really impressive, so bets have already emerged to see its future potential.
Some experts say it could become the highest-grossing film of the year, but it will have to wait another few weeks to see if its downward trend is stronger than that of Mario.
Meanwhile, the impact of the Barbie movie is still intact in social networks; the enthusiasm of the public to attend the movie in pink costumes and the success of several songs from its original soundtrack are proof of this.
