After another weekend as the No. 1 movie at the box office, Barbie and director Greta Gerwig continue to make history. Gerwig is now the female director with the highest grossing film ever at the domestic box office, surpassing Frozen II co-director Jennifer Lee.

　　Barbie has now earned more than $525 million in North America, zooming past Frozen II's domestic results of $477.4. million. Only 20 movies in history have made more than $500 million in the US.

　　Barbie reached $500 million in the US after 22 days. By comparison, Top Gun: Maverick needed 30 days to hit that mark and The Super Mario Bros. film took 31 days to achieve that, according to Deadline. Barbie has been the No. 1 movie in the US every weekend since it debuted on July 21.

　　Gerwig's accolades don't end there, as she is also the highest-grossing female director for a live-action movie at the global box office. Barbie has grossed $1.183 billion, pushing past Captain Marvel (directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck), which made $1.13 billion worldwide.

　　Barbie is the No. 2 movie of 2023 so far, exceeded only by The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which has earned $1.35 billion. Barbie remains in theaters and should continue to perform well thanks to positive word-of-mouth. Eventually, it'll come to streaming, and that should be on Max this fall.
