There is a brand new king (or technically queen) of the field workplace.
After holding the title of the most important movie of the 2023 in the U.S. since shortly after its debut again in the spring, The Super Mario Bros. Movie has formally been dethroned. As of in the present day, Barbie is now the highest-grossing film of 2023 domestically. The movie has earned $575 million in U.S. theaters, in comparison with The Super Mario Bros. Movie’s $574 million.
In different phrases, Barbie simply flattened Mario, like an Italian plumber in overalls leaping on a sentient mushroom creature.

For the second, The Super Mario Bros. Movie remains to be the worldwide field workplace champ of the 12 months, with $1.359 billion in theaters across the globe in comparison with Barbie’s $1.286 billion worldwide. But Barbie remains to be taking part in in theaters in all places — and it’s going to get a lift in just a few weeks when it begins taking part in in IMAX theaters as effectively.
If Barbie isn’t dethroned by any of the autumn’s large releases, it could be the primary non-sequel to prime the annual field workplace charts since 2018, when Black Panther was the 12 months’s largest launch. (And that may not even rely, for the reason that movie was kind of a sequel to Captain America: Ciivil War, which launched the Black Panther character to the MCU — in the event you exclude that, you need to return to 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy to discover a prime movie of the 12 months that wasn’t a sequel.)
So… ya assume they’re going to make a Barbie 2 now? Seems considerably more likely to me?
