The Rise and Rise of Barbie
How monumental has Barbie’s cinematic journey been? It’s not an exaggeration to label the film a box office titan. The creative confluence of director Greta Gerwig and screenwriter Noah Baumbach has truly yielded cinematic gold. Labelled the other half of the “Barbenheimer” duo, the counterpart being Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, the film’s inaugural weekend on July 21 witnessed history being scripted, registering the largest ever opening for a female director.
This collaboration with Oppenheimer led to what is now etched as the fourth most colossal opening weekend ever. The accolades don’t end there; Barbie gracefully waltzed into the elite billion-dollar league in global box office collections.
