Barbie takes the No. 1 slot at the domestic box office again this weekend, matching a 2023 box office record set by The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The box office domination of Barbie continues as it matches a record set by a huge animated hit earlier this year. The movie, which was directed by Greta Gerwig from a screenplay she co-wrote with Noah Baumbach, stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, along with a jam-packed ensemble filling out both the real world and Barbie Land. The movie has proven to be a titanic success, opening at No.
Per Deadline, the Barbie box office will have taken in an additional $30 million at the domestic box office by the end of the weekend. This places the movie at No. 1 for the fourth weekend in a row. This is only the second time that a 2023 release has held the top spot on the weekend charts this many times in a row, after April's The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
How Long Can Barbie Stay No. 1? So far, the longest any movie has stayed at No. 1 on the 2023 box office chart has been four weeks. In addition to Barbie and Super Mario, this record was also matched by Avatar: The Way of Water. The James Cameron sequel maintained its hold on the box office for the first four weeks of the year, carrying over its smash-hit run from the end of 2022.
It remains to be seen if Barbie can maintain its hold any longer, setting a new record for 2023 movies. However, it certainly has the opportunity to do so, considering the fact that it is competing with Mario to become the highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide. Because it has consistently outgrossed every other movie currently on the chart, it will most likely take a splashy new release to knock Barbie to No. 2.
