\u201cBarbie\u201d didn\u2019t just break the opening weekend record<\/a> for 2023; It also shattered the first weekend record for a film directed by a woman.<\/p>\n

With $162 million in ticket sales from North American theaters, according to studio totals Monday, \u201cBarbie\u201d catapulted past both \u201cCaptain Marvel,\u201d which was co-directed by Anna Boden and opened to $153.4 million in 2019, and \u201cWonder Woman,\u201d Patty Jenkins\u2019 2017 film that debuted to $103.3 million. Boasting a reported price tag of $145 million, \u201cBarbie\u201d also cost less to produce than \u201cCaptain Marvel\u201d ($152 million) and \u201cWonder Woman\u201d ($200 million).<\/p>\n

Globally, it also far surpassed \u201cWonder Woman\u2019s\u201d debut with over $337 million versus $228.3 million, though \u201cCaptain Marvel\u2019s\u201d global launch was higher at $455 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cBarbie\u2019s\u201d debut is also significant because its audience was 65% women \u2014 not a surprise in and of itself, but as far as box office history is concerned, movies<\/a> that open over $100 million often have a majority male audience (including both \u201cCaptain Marvel\u201d and \u201cWonder Woman\u201d). This, many have noted, is perhaps less a rule and more of a lack of big films that have been made and promoted with a blockbuster female audience in minds.<\/p>\n

Gerwig co-wrote and directed<\/a> \u201cBarbie\u201d which is intended to be the first of many Mattel-inspired spinoffs. And in just one weekend it\u2019s already surpassed the domestic grosses her last two films, \u201cLittle Women,\u201d which earned $108.1 million and \u201cLady Bird,\u201d with $49 million.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s a question of how high \u201cBarbie\u201d can go and if it can outgross other top films directed by women. In North America, to get the No. 1 spot, \u201cBarbie\u201d will have to earn more than \u201cFrozen II,\u201d co-directed by Jennifer Lee, which tallied out with $477.4 million. \u201cCaptain Marvel\u201d is in second place with $426.8 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
