Warner Bros. Pictures said on Sunday that “Barbie” has received more than $1 billion in worldwide sales since its July 21 release.

The company added in a statement that the comedy-fiction movie has earned $459 million in the United States and Canada and another $572.1 million abroad since it hit theaters, for a total of $1.0315 billion.

Warner Bros. also said that Greta Groeg, the writer and director of the Oscar-nominated Barbie, also became the first female filmmaker to cross the billion-dollar revenue threshold.

This was the third weekend in theaters for “Barbie,” which grossed $127 million worldwide on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, including $53 million domestically and another $74 million overseas.

Ticket sales for “Barbie” now rank second this year, behind “The Super Mario Brothers,” which premiered in April and grossed $1.357 billion at the box office.
