Greta Gerwig’s Barbie (2023) is making box office history internationally as one of the highest-grossing movies of 2023. Here’s the scoop:

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie has a star-studded cast, starring Margot Robbie (Barbie) and Ryan Gosling (Ken). America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Will Ferrell, Alexandra Shipp, and John Cena are also featured in the list of cast members. The screenplay for Barbie was written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach.

With Barbie, Greta Gerwig became the first female director to reach the one-billion-dollar box office milestone. She broke the record of the highest-grossing movie directed by a woman. Patty Jenkins previously held this record with Wonder Woman, which earned $822.8 million in the box office.

Greta Gerwig’s accomplishment is empowering because it exemplifies the importance of believing in yourself and illustrates the idea of Barbie’s classic slogan: “you can be anything”. To celebrate Greta Gerwig’s birthday and major accomplishment, Ryan Gosling sent Barbies and Kens to her pilates class.
