Not content with that, <strong>Barbie has also become the best premiere in the history of the United States directed by a woman<\/strong> (in this case, Greta Gerwig).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we translate this into figures, we see that Gerwig&#8217;s directed movie has managed to gross<strong> $337 million<\/strong> globally (approximately 303 million euros), out of which $155 million (around 140 million euros) came from the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oppenheimer hasn&#8217;t reached the extravagant numbers of Barbie, but it doesn&#8217;t have much to complain about either. At present, it&#8217;s already the <strong>third-best premiere for a Nolan-directed movie<\/strong> (with the top two being the Batman series, specifically The Dark Knight films). Regarding ticket sales, Oppenheimer has raked in <strong>$174 million worldwide<\/strong> (about 80.5 million in the United States).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Barbie | Main Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pBk4NYhWNMM?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Barbie surpasses Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/there-were-116-barbie-comics-published-in-marvel-and-none-comed-out-spiderman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Barbie<\/a> has managed to surpass &#8216;Captain Marvel&#8217; (2019) and <strong>&#8216;Wonder Woman&#8217; <\/strong>(2017).

On the other hand, Wonder Woman held the record for the best premiere directed by a woman (Patty Jenkins), with a box office of <strong>103 million dollars<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continuing with the records, Barbie has also achieved the most successful weekend of 2023 so far.
