Barbie crossed the $1.365 billion mark at the global box office this past weekend, and its earnings are still rising. By doing so, it managed to beat The Super Mario Bros. Movie to become the highest-grossing film of the year so far.

This is quite an impressive feat considering that Barbie was banned in several countries and it had tough competition at the summer box office in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which also premiered on July 21.

Barbie knocked it out of the park during its opening weekend and scored the biggest domestic opening ever for a female-directed film. It later became Warner Bros.’ highest-grossing film and the fastest to reach $1 billion, breaking the record previously held by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.

In addition to winning over audiences, Barbie was met with critical acclaim following its release and it received praise for its performances, visual appeal, and humorous take on a wide range of different topics, from philosophy to feminism.

Super Mario exceeded everyone’s wildest expectations when it grossed 204.6 million in North America and 173 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $377.6 million during its opening weekend.

Super Mario stormed past all box office projections and managed to break several opening weekend records. It scored the biggest opening for an animated movie, surpassing Frozen 2, in addition to scoring the biggest opening of 2023 so far and the biggest opening for a video game movie.

Super Mario’s box office numbers are even more impressive considering that the odds weren’t exactly on its side. The film received a lot of backlash for casting Chris Pratt as the voice of Mario, and it was met with mixed reactions upon its release.

In addition to Pratt, the film’s voice cast also includes Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong. The film hit the theatres on April 5, and it will stream on Peacock and Netflix later this year.
