' 'Barbie' is the highest grossing movies worldwide with a worldwide Box Office collection of $1,441,820,453. Margot Robbie-starrer was produced on a budget of $145 million and became the first movie from a solo female director to cross $1 billion at the Box Office.
“Barbie” is the highest grossing film of the summer (and the year) with $612 million in North America and $1.36 billion globally to date. “Oppenheimer” also wildly outperformed expectations with $311 at the domestic box office and $850 million worldwide.
The father of the atomic bomb has surpassed Freddie Mercury. Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer has now overtaken 2018's Bohemian Rhapsody as the highest-grossing biopic ever as it nears the billion-dollar mark at the global box office.
The big picture: Despite their success, "Barbie" and "The Super Mario Bros." didn't threaten "Avatar's" reign as the biggest movie of all time with a lifetime gross of more than $2.9 billion. It may be some time before any movie without the name "Avatar" in its title does.
Moviegoers couldn't get enough of the film and the ticket sales rushed in from the start and didn't stop until it nearly reached $3 billion off a roughly $237 billion budget. Even after almost 14 years, Avatar's reign atop the highest-grossing films of all time list has rarely been contested. Read our review of Avatar.
"Barbie" is No. 14 on the worldwide list, having made $1.4 billion so far, according to Box Office Mojo, which tracks the domestic and worldwide gross of movies.
The film grossed $1.446 billion and achieved several milestones, including the highest-grossing film of 2023 and the 14th highest-grossing film of all time.
That pushed its total international gross earnings to $US1,342,401,000. This makes Barbie the highest-grossing Warner Bros film of all time. The title was previously held by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II, which earned $US1,342,359,942 (not adjusted for inflation).
Christopher Nolan recently appeared on the “Countdown to the BAFTAs” podcast and reflected on the record-breaking box office success of “Oppenheimer,” which has earned $958 million worldwide to become the highest-grossing biographical drama in film history.
"Oppenheimer" won seven Oscars Sunday night, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. It also won for Best Film Editing and Best Cinematography. Ludwig Göransson also took home the Oscar for Best Original Score.
It might not get the credit for passing a billion at the box office, but in precipitating nearly $50m in extra revenue through re-releases, it has a claim to be the third, and final, billion-dollar film of 2023.
However, in terms of ratings, Oppenheimer won. On Rotten Tomatoes, Oppenheimer is currently sitting with a critic score of 93% and an audience score of 91% while Barbie has a critic score of 88% and an audience score of 83%.
Barbie may have made more money at the box office — over $1.4 billion globally to Oppenheimer's $958 million, according to Box Office Mojo data — but the Christopher Nolan-directed epic about the making of the atomic bomb took home seven Academy Awards tonight, including Best Director, Best Actor, and the coveted Best ...
Maybe there's something to be gleaned from the double feature mania: More than 200,000 people purchased tickets to see Barbie and Oppenheimer on the same day, according to the National Association of Theatre Owners. But this particular phenomenon may not be replicable. Here's what we learned this weekend.
The PG-13 comedy easily defeated Universal Pictures' “Oppenheimer,” which opened in second place with $80.5 million — an impressive number for an R-rated film — according to studio estimates.
According to a report in Variety in 2022, Robbie's salary for 'Barbie,' which is to be released in the United States on 21 July, is $12.5 million. It's a pay packet that is thought to have made her 2022′s highest-paid female actor. The Australian's income also comes from her numerous endorsements by well-known brands.
Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were both reportedly paid $12.5 million for their roles in Barbie. With the strong feminist themes displayed throughout the film, they were rightly paid the same amount for their work.
Barbie and Oppenheimer became the first and third highest-grossing movies in the world in 2023. Oppenheimer earned more than $957 million at the box office, and once theaters took their roughly 50% cut (the number could be as low as 20% on opening weekend, but goes up over time), Nolan was set up for a massive payday.
As of Macrh 5, 2024, Greta Gerwig's very pink fantasy-comedy "Barbie" (2023) has collected more than 636 million U.S. dollars at the North American box office, garnering a total of 1.45 billion U.S. dollars worldwide. It has instantly become the biggest debut ever for a film directed by a woman.
