Oh it's a Barbie world alright. As in, this is Barbie's world and we're all just living in it.
Greta Gerwig's Barbie hit the cinemas 20 July 2023 and before even a week, it has reached blockbuster records we never knew possible.
Here are a few of the movie's accomplishments to take note of.
#1 Biggest domestic opening of 2023
Bringing in $155 million, the movie has surpassed every other movie from the year thus far!
#2 Biggest opening ever for a female director
Miss Ma'am Greta Gerwig has brought her A game and she's not here to mess around.
#3 Biggest opening for a movie based on a toy
The movie is based on a doll which was first created in 1959. Meaning to say 64 years later, Mattel's still winning!
#4 Biggest opening ever for Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling
Robbie and Gosling have done other big movies separately, Bird's of Prey, Suicide Squad, La La Land, The Notebook, but this opening was the biggest for both.
#5 Biggest opening weekend for a movie that isn't a sequel, remake or superhero movie
Shocking, but true. It's a movie about a doll.
So many amazing achievements in such a short time! Come on Barbie let's go party...
