Warner Bros. Pictures brought Barbie to life in the company's highest-earning theatrical release of all time.
Directed by Greta Gerwig, the project was in the works for quite some time. Back in December 2016, Amy Schumer was originally attached to star, however, she later backed out of the film due to creative differences.
In January 2019, it was confirmed that Margot Robbie would be taking on the lead role of the iconic Mattel doll, and in October 2021, Ryan Gosling joined the cast as Barbie's plastic partner, Ken.

Whether Barbie gets a sequel or not, this film is a certified hit, making $1 billion at the box office in a little over two weeks.
And the film is set to pull in even more viewers this fall. In August 2023, Warner Bros. Pictures announced that the film would be released in IMAX theaters for a one-week limited engagement, beginning Sept. 22. This version of the film will include brand-new footage chosen by Gerwig.
"We made Barbie for the big screen, so it’s an even bigger thrill to be able to bring it to IMAX, the biggest screen of all," the director said in a statement. "And as a special thanks to Barbie fans, we’re excited to share a little bit more of our cast and crew’s incredible work by adding special
