Greta Gerwig should be feeling closer to fine these days. In just three weeks in theatres, Barbie is set to sail past $1 billion US in global ticket sales, breaking a record for female directors that was previously held by Patty Jenkins for Wonder Woman.
Barbie, which Gerwig directed and co-wrote, added another $53 million from 4,178 North American locations this weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. The film, led and produced by Margot Robbie, has been comfortably seated in first place for three weeks and it’s hardly finished yet. Warner Bros. said the film will cross $1 billion before the end of the day.
