Barbie Box Office: Biggest Warner Film Ever Domestically

Greta Gerwig's movie based on the world's most iconic fashion doll keeps dancing past one record after another.

The Hollywood Reporter
If the movie is still making $6 million on a Tuesday, this movie is going break a lot more records.
I’ve seen it three times. I’m going this week which will make four. It’s a fun movie
The movie is awesome, but it gets me down thinking about how many shitty toy “but with grown-up humour” movies we’re going to get after this, just because now every studio in the world is going to join the bandwagon.
This has been in the making since the Lego Movie, Barbie isn’t the first toy movie to become popular
Sure, but the first Lego movie came out, what, almost 10 years ago? And Lego isn’t owned by Mattel, so it isn’t an exact comparison. Regardless, I feel like Mattel’s approach to shoveling advertisements in the form of movies is going to be far more over the top and exhausting than Lego’s, but who knows, maybe it’ll be pretty tame in the long run and the bulk of their movies will be canceled.
