Box Office: “Barbie” Toys with Crossing $500 Mil US on Friday Even with Very Slight Slowdown

Share

Look, the “Barbie” box office has to slow down eventually. Last night you could see the beginnings of it with a daily gross of $7.35 million.

But that was slight. Tomorrow, Friday. Warner Bros’s cash cow will cross the $500 million mark in the US. It’s well over $1 billion worldwide. The juggernaut will continue through Labor Day weekend at least.

Hasn’t everyone already seen it? Twice? But this like “Top Gun Maverick” or “Spider Man No Way Home” or “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Once the pinball is stuck bouncing around in the top of the game, the bell just keeps ringing!

Ka ching! Ka ching! Ka ching!

PS Barbra Streisand should consider changing the name of her coming book to “Barbie.” Guaranteed best seller!
