Barbie To Cross $1 Billion at the Box Office Today

preview

Come on, Barbie, let's go party, because it really is a "Barbie World." Not only is Greta Gerwig's Barbie&nbsp;getting rave reviews from critics and audiences alike, but the movie has been&nbsp;on track to earn $1 billion worldwide&nbsp;at the box office. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new film has hit that huge milestone during its third weekend in theaters.&nbsp;Barbie won the weekend yet again, earning another $53 million domestically, bringing its North American total to $459.4 million. This marks the first time a film directed solely by a woman has reached $1 billion at the box office.&nbsp;"I think my pitch in the green-light meeting was the studios have prospered so much when they're brave enough to pair a big idea with a visionary director," Barbie star Margot Robbie previously told&nbsp;Collider. "And then I gave a series of examples like, "dinosaurs and [Steven] Spielberg," that and that, that and that – pretty much naming anything that's been incredible and made a ton of money for the studios over the years. And I was like, "And now you've got Barbie and&nbsp;Greta Gerwig." And I think I told them that it'd make a billion dollars, which maybe I was overselling, but we had a movie to make, okay?!"Oppenheimer,&nbsp;Meg 2: The Trench, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem all fought for second place at the box office this weekend, but it looks like The Meg 2 gets the silver prize at the domestic box office, which is another win for Warner Bros. The movie earned $30 million stateside this weekend, but unlike the other films in the current box office race, the sequel&nbsp;has not been well received by critics. The film currently has a 29% critics score on&nbsp;Rotten Tomatoes, but its audience score is a much better 74%.&nbsp;In&nbsp;Barbie, to live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you're a Ken. From Oscar-nominated writer/director Greta Gerwig comes&nbsp;Barbie, which hit theaters on July 21st.&nbsp;Barbie&nbsp;stars Oscar-nominees&nbsp;Margot Robbie&nbsp;and&nbsp;Ryan Gosling&nbsp;as Barbie and Ken, alongside&nbsp;America Ferrera,&nbsp;Kate McKinnon,&nbsp;Michael Cera,&nbsp;Ariana Greenblatt,&nbsp;Issa Rae,&nbsp;Rhea Perlman, and&nbsp;Will Ferrell.&nbsp;The film also stars Ana Cruz Kayne,&nbsp;Emma Mackey,&nbsp;Hari Nef,&nbsp;Alexandra Shipp,&nbsp;Kingsley Ben-Adir,&nbsp;Simu Liu,&nbsp;Ncuti Gatwa,&nbsp;Scott Evans,&nbsp;Jamie Demetriou, Connor Swindells, Sharon Rooney, Nicola Coughlan,&nbsp;Ritu Arya, Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Dua Lipa and Oscar-winner&nbsp;Helen Mirren. Gerwig directed&nbsp;Barbie&nbsp;from a screenplay by Gerwig &amp; Oscar nominee&nbsp;Noah Baumbach, based on Barbie by&nbsp;Mattel.&nbsp;Related:Start the Conversation
