Greta Gerwig\u2019s Barbie<\/em> has surpassed $1 billion in estimated worldwide box office ticket sales three weeks after its July 21 opening,
\n ComScore
\n reported Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Based on Mattel\u2019s popular and most profitable doll, Barbie<\/em> the Warner Bros. Discovery. (ticker: WBD) film is the second 2023 movie to cross the $1 billion threshold, after Comcast\u00a0-owned (CMCSA) Universal Pictures\u2019 The Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/em>, which has raked in $1.35 billion worldwide, according to BoxOfficeMojo.<\/p>\n

\n

Barbie<\/em>, which Gerwig directed and co-wrote, is the most successful film solo directed by a woman since Wonder Woman<\/em>, which earned $821.8 million total worldwide, the Associated Press reported. Three other films co-directed by women have also soared past $1 billion in global ticket sales: Frozen<\/em>, at $1.3 billion, and Frozen 2<\/em>, at $1.45 billion, both co-directed by Jennifer Lee, and Captain Marvel<\/em>, co-directed by Anna Boden, with $1.1 billion.<\/p>\n

Barbie<\/em> has attracted an estimated $459.4 million in cumulative North American box office receipts, including an estimated $53 million this weekend, according to ComScore. It drew another $572.1 million in global ticket sales, including $74 million this past weekend.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros.\u2019 Meg 2: The Trench<\/em> opened in the No. 2 domestically this weekend, with $30 million in North American ticket sales, including higher-priced 3D tickets. Universal Pictures\u2019 Oppenheimer<\/em> was third with $28.7 million, and Paramount Studios\u2019 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem<\/em> was No. 4 with $28 million, ComScore said.<\/p>\n

Meg 2 <\/em>devoured $112 million in international ticket sales this weekend; Barbie <\/em>was second; and Oppenheimer<\/em>, about the American theoretical physicist called the \u201cfather of the atomic bomb,\u201d was third in worldwide box office, with $52.8 million, and $552.9 million cumulatively worldwide, according to ComScore.<\/p>\n

Oppenheimer<\/em> opened on the same day Barbie <\/em>did, launching the \u201cBarbenheimer\u201d trend on social media and raking in a $302 million blockbuster opening weekend.<\/p>\n

Since then, an estimated 55.5 million moviegoers have seen both films, including 39 million for the PG-13-rated Barbie<\/em>, and 16.5 million for the R-rated Oppenheimer<\/em>, according to data analytics firm EntTelligence.<\/p>\n
