Barbie officially crossed the $1.365 billion mark at the global box office on September 2 to become the highest-grossing film of the year so far. This is quite an achievement since it overcame bans in several countries and tough competition at the summer box office to reach this impressive number.

Seeing Barbie become the year’s highest-grossing film isn’t a huge shocker, considering how many records it broke since its release. It set several opening weekend milestones after it premiered on July 21, and it went on to become Warner Bros’ highest-grossing film of all time and the fastest to cross a $1 billion mark, beating Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.

Barbie stars Margot Robbie as the iconic doll, who decides to head to the real world after finding herself in the midst of an existential crisis. In addition to Robbie, the film also stars Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Will Ferrell, and Helen Mirren.

Led by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the first live-action film inspired by Mattel’s iconic doll chronicles Barbie’s journey of self-discovery after she leaves Barbieland for the Real World.

Barbie exceeded its box office projections after premiering on July 21, earning $155 million domestically and $182 million globally, for a worldwide total of $337 million. It scored the highest-grossing weekend for a film by a female director, and the largest opening for a non-sequel, non-remake, and non-superhero movie.

Andrew Cripps, Warner Bros president of international theatrical distribution, described Barbie’s success as “a testament to the filmmakers’ singular vision to provide a fun and engaging experience that audiences of all ages are responding to in a fun and powerful way.”

Barbie was in pretty good company at the global box office, with Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer grossing $174 million worldwide. The tonal difference between the two projects inspired the viral Barbenheimer phenomenon, and many moviegoers went to see them as a double feature, thus improving the box office numbers of both films.

The action-adventure feature, based on the Sega video game character, opened in 4,130 cinemas, making $65 billion in four days.

The film follows Sonic (Ben Schwartz), the world’s fastest hedgehog, and his best friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden), as they try to save the planet from the evil Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey).

Sonic the Hedgehog is expected to break the record for the best video game feature adaption, currently held by Legendary/Warner Bro’s Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, which brought in $54.3 million in three days. Sonic the Hedgehog slightly trailed, making $53.99 million in three days.

Even though the film’s release was delayed because of the backlash from fans about the look of Sonic, and the decision by Paramount and director Jeff Fowler to re-design the character, reviews have so far been positive.

The new Avengers movie is the third one in a series that started in 2012 with The Avengers and continued in 2015 with Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Avengers: Infinity War is the 19th movie in the Marvel Studio’s franchise, which only makes this success even bigger.
