Greetings Barbie, Ken, and the world of box office history! In a remarkable display of box office dominance, Barbie reigns supreme for the second consecutive weekend both overseas and worldwide. The film directed by Greta Gerwig proves its mettle by earning an astounding $127.0 million on 28,768 screens during its second weekend in international markets. This exceptional achievement represents only a 31% decline from its opening weekend, showcasing its immense appeal and benefiting from audience retention and repeat viewings. Such an outstanding performance sets a new record as the highest-grossing second weekend ever for a Warner Bros. film internationally, surpassing the previous milestone established by Joker.
As the film continues to captivate audiences clad in pink all around the world, its overseas earnings reach an extraordinary $429.3 million. However, the film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling isn’t just making waves internationally; it is approaching an impressive milestone as its worldwide earnings move closer to the $800 million mark, currently standing at a remarkable $780.7 million. The film’s runaway success is evident in its remarkable performance and holds in various international markets.
Remarkably, the film experiences astonishing growth in countries such as Taiwan (with a 40% increase), Germany (32% rise), Hong Kong (18% boost), and Singapore (11% growth). Even in markets with slight declines, like China and Australia (both experiencing an 11% drop), the film remains incredibly popular among audiences. Furthermore, the movie maintains its number one ranking in 57 markets, solidifying its position as the reigning worldwide box office champion. The confirmed weekend admissions reach an estimated 17.9 million, bringing the total admissions to a staggering 65.3 million.
After only 11 days since its release, the film firmly secures its position as the third-highest-grossing film worldwide in 2023. Its global impact is undeniable, already becoming the fourth-highest-grossing U.S. film of 2023 overseas and still counting. It does face a significant challenge to surpass The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but nobody is underestimating the power of Barbie, Ken, the patriarchy, and the Mojo Dojo Casa House at this stage.
Oppenheimer Nudging It Along Too
Barbie is also benefiting from the “Barbenheimer” effect, a viral trend that pairs Barbie with the three-hour historical biopic Oppenheimer. This film explores the story of the man behind the Manhattan Project and the creation of the first atomic weapons system. Collectively, these two films have already grossed over $1 billion at the global box office in less than two weeks, giving studios a much-needed boost after a few challenging years.
