In the studio’s 100-year history, “Barbie” has earned more money globally than “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” which came out in 2011. According to Comscore predictions, Greta Gerwig’s movie beat anticipated the saga’s conclusion by a margin of $767,505.
It earned $1,341,854,460 worldwide. According to a Warner Bros. announcement, “Barbie” will surpass “Harry Potter” as the studio’s highest-grossing movie worldwide.

“Avatar,” which made $2.9 billion worldwide, is the all-time highest-grossing movie. Disney currently owns the Avatar series. Warner Bros. Pictures, which is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of CNN, distributes both the “Barbie” and “Harry Potter” movies.
According to Paul Dergarabedian, senior analyst at Comscore, the success of “Barbie” was the result of “the perfect storm” of a confluence of cultural, cinematic, and social media phenomena. Warner Bros. and Mattel may be affected by the movie’s potential industry repercussions in the future.
In just 34 days after its premiere, “Barbie” broke the previous record for the highest-grossing domestic film of the year, surpassing “Super Mario Bros.”
Its opening weekend domestic gross of $155 million was both the most ever for a female director‘s debut and the biggest opening weekend of the year.
