Barbie Movie Makes History
Greta Gerwig makes history as the first solo female director to cross $1 billion at the box office. Gerwig directed three films before Barbie, of which Lady Bird grossed $80 million and Little Women crossed $200m at the global box office.
Margot Robbie Convinces Studio of Barbie’s Success
Margot Robbie, who stars as Barbie and also acted as producer to the film, stated in an interview with Collider that she told Warner Brothers the movie would make a billion dollars in the global box office.
“…I gave a series of examples like, ‘dinosaurs and [Steven] Spielberg’ – pretty much naming anything that’s been incredible and made a ton of money for the studios over the years. And I was like, ‘And now you’ve got Barbie and Greta Gerwig.’ And I think I told them that it’d make a billion dollars, which maybe I was overselling, but we had a movie to make, okay?” Robbie said.
The movie is set to release all across the UAE on August 10th.
