Since Barbie arrived in theaters in July, there has hardly been a week where it didn't make the news for tumbling one record or the other. Almost two months after its debut, the movie has broken yet another record and seems poised to break even more.
According to a recent Variety report, Barbie has raked in a staggering $626 million at the domestic box office. With this number, the doll-turned-big-screen sensation toppled Marvel's The Avengers as the 11th highest-grossing movie of all time at the domestic box office.
Barbie's current domestic gross moves it one step toward the 10 highest grossing movies at the domestic box office. However, it needs to gross about $28 million more to break into that highly coveted rank. The film above it is Jurassic World which grossed $653.4 million during its run in 2015.
Greta Gerwig's cinematic masterpiece has been stealing records left and right since its debut. August saw Barbie knock The Super Mario Bros. Movie off its perch and become the year's highest-grossing movie. Before that, the film grossed $1 billion within 17 days of its release to become the highest-grossing live-action film ever to be solely directed by a woman.
