NEW YORK: In a stunning turn of events, the film “Barbie,” starring Margot Robbie, has achieved a remarkable milestone by overtaking “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2” as the highest-grossing movie in the history of Warner Bros.
With its worldwide gross surpassing an impressive $1.342 billion, “Barbie” has officially claimed the top spot from the final installment of the iconic Harry Potter series. Warner Bros.’s top 25 highest-grossing movies are primarily composed of franchise films, which makes the success of “Barbie” all the more remarkable.
Remarkably, only four non-franchise films have previously secured a place on the studio’s top 25 list, including “Inception,” “It,” “Gravity,” and now “Barbie.”
Triumphant Journey of “Barbie”
The triumphant journey of “Barbie” shows no signs of slowing down. With the film still drawing audiences in theaters and its upcoming releases on demand, IMAX, and physical home video formats, it is anticipated that more records will be shattered in the months to come.
“Barbie’s” resounding success comes as a significant boost to Warner Bros., especially following a few underwhelming performances at the summer box office. The film’s unexpected triumph underscores the power of its impact on audiences worldwide.
