Even before its launch, we already knew that the feature would be a success, either because of the weight of the Barbie name or because of the “Barbenheimer” movement, created due to the joint release between the doll film and the feature Oppenheimer.
Last weekend Barbie surpassed the $1 billion mark at the box office in just 17 days since its release, making it the top of Warner Bros. who reached this mark in the shortest time.
