‘Barbie’ Outpaces ‘The Avengers’ At Domestic Box Office

Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” has generated $626 million at the domestic box office, overtaking Marvel’s 2012 blockbuster “The Avengers” ($623 million) as the 11th-highest grossing release in history.

In order to crack the top 10, “Barbie” will need to outpace 2015’s “Jurassic World” (No. 10 with $653 million), “Titanic” (No. 9 with $674 million), “Avengers: Infinity War” (No. 8 with $678 million) and “Avatar: The Way of Water” (No. 7 with $684 million).

“Barbie” is already the highest-grossing domestic release of the year.

The cotton candy-colored behemoth has earned $1.4 billion globally and, weeks ago, surpassed “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” ($1.35 billion) as the biggest worldwide release of 2023.
