It only took 100 years but now Warner Bros has a new top grossing movie of all time.
Yesterday “Barbie” hit $537 million and passed Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight.”
The Greta Gerwig directed, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling starrer is now number 16 on the all time list of all studios, and is rapidly headed to replace number 15, “The Lion King.”
At WB this makes up for a lot after the disaster of “The Flash.” Toby Emmerich and his team should get a lot of praise for pushing the whole “Barbie” and Mattel idea through the studio. Mike DeLuca and Pam Abdy came in and cheered it over the line. Nice work, all of them.
Will there be a “Barbie” sequel? Oh yes, and everyone will be paid handsomely. Will it be as good or as big of a hit? No! But it doesn’t matter. It’s out of everyone’s hands. It’s in the hands of the universe now!
PS Worldwide including the US “Barbie” is at almost $1.2 billion!!! That doesn’t include Japan, where it just opened this weekend.
