'Barbie' on its way to becoming America's highest-grossing movie of 2023 following a successful haul at the box office"Barbie" is now within striking distance of becoming the highest-grossing movie at the domestic box office this year, taking the crown away from "Super Mario Bros."According to studio estimates, "Barbie" has made $572.3 million at the American box office as of Wednesday, edging closer to Mario's domestic haul of $574.2 million.
It's likely that "Barbie," based on the iconic doll, will officially snatch the title from the video game adaptation, "Super Mario Bros." on Thursday, when Wednesday's box office results are released."Barbie's" run to the top will be faster than "Mario's." Deadline notes that "Barbie" will likely reach the record-breaking title in only 35 days since its release, while it took Mario, Luigi and the gang 138 days to cross the $574.
Since premiering July 21, "Barbie" has broken numerous records. The film made $155 million domestically in its opening weekend, making it the largest opening weekend of the year and the biggest-ever debut for a female director. In the weeks to follow, it also was crowned Warner Bros. Discovery's highest-grossing domestic release, beating the former title holder, the 2008 blockbuster, "The Dark Knight."Last week, "Barbie" had also crossed the $1.
The movie's reign of sitting at the top of the box office came to an end last weekend, when "Blue Beetle" unseated "Barbie." The newest DC superhero film grossed an estimated $25.4 million, while "Barbie" slipped to second, bringing in $21.5 million, according to studio estimates.The-CNN-Wire
