"Barbie" makes history as film surpasses $1B in box office sales
'It's the first film soley directed by a woman to ever cross $1 billion in global box office sales.'
You're viewing a single thread.
Would like to see that gross adjusted for inflation. But either way, incredibly solid box office.
Have to admit I kind of want to see it.
Adjusted for inflation it still made over $1B.
I mean so we can compare it to box office of all time. Haven't seen a source though.
Wonder Woman would have grossed over $1B if adjusted for inflation. Barbie has already passed its total inflation-adjusted gross, though.
Look at the last movie that broke a record. The inflation conversion probably hasn't changed much since then.
Nothing's cracked the top 10 lifetime interest adjusted grosses in a long time. Our last top 20 film was in 2015.
If @moobythegoldensock is right, this sounds like this could be a new top 10 entry, will have to wait and see.
I plan to see it as soon as it comes out of cinemas 🚢🧲
Thankfully haven't seen any spoilers or memes yet, unlike with some of the Marvel franchise movies
Is anyone surprised?
Every time the was a movie that appealed a lot to women, it broke all box office records. Just look at Titanic.
As of last year, Gone With the Wind was still the highest grossing film ever made once we factor in inflation.
And that's a melodrama with a female protagonist.
Well it’s not something I like so what arbitrary metric can I use to dismiss this accomplishment?

Ugh, there's that mean-spirited, "let's assume the worst about people" attitude I hoped we left at reddit.
I'm a cinephile with an interest in film history and I want to know where the new film stands on this list.
If it knocks out Gone With The Wind, that has real implications not just for cinema history, but as an indicator of the health of the movie theater industry.
I also stated that I want to see the film, so assuming I'm trying to "dismiss" it isn't reasonable.
Do it. Do it.
