Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' Becomes Highest Grossing Film by Female Director

Barbie has surpassed $500 million at the domestic box office, becoming the highest grossing film by a female director in the US.
The film has earned over $1.1 billion globally, making Gerwig the top grossing female director worldwide for a live action film.
Barbie brought back moviegoers who hadn't been to theaters since before the pandemic, accounting for $242 million in ticket sales.
The film continues its box office dominance, remaining a top performer even after other major releases.
While Barbie faces challenges matching Frozen II's $1.45 billion global total, it has broken records and highlighted the need for more female directors.
