91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� didn91裸聊视频檛 just for 2023; It also shattered the first weekend record for a film directed by a woman.
With $162 million in ticket sales from North American theaters, according to studio totals Monday, 91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� catapulted past both 91裸聊视频淐aptain Marvel,91裸聊视频� which was co-directed by Anna Boden and opened to $153.4 million in 2019, and 91裸聊视频淲onder Woman,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� 2017 film that debuted to $103.3 million. Boasting a reported price tag of $145 million, 91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� also cost less to produce than 91裸聊视频淐aptain Marvel91裸聊视频� ($152 million) and 91裸聊视频淲onder Woman91裸聊视频� ($200 million).
Globally, it far surpassed 91裸聊视频淲onder Woman91裸聊视频檚91裸聊视频� debut with over $337 million versus $228.3 million, though 91裸聊视频淐aptain Marvel91裸聊视频檚91裸聊视频� global launch was higher at $455 million.
91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频檚91裸聊视频� debut, $7 million higher than estimated on Sunday, is also significant because its audience was 65% women 91裸聊视频� not a surprise in and of itself, but as far as box office history is concerned, movies that open over $100 million often have a majority male audience (including both 91裸聊视频淐aptain Marvel91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淲onder Woman91裸聊视频�). This, many have noted, is perhaps less a rule and more of a lack of big films that have been made and promoted with a blockbuster female audience in minds.
A close, but imperfect comparison is 91裸聊视频淔ifty Shades of Grey,91裸聊视频� which was directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, and made $85 million in its first three days. The R-rated adaptation opened on Presidents Day weekend in 2017 for a five-day haul of $93 million.

91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� which is intended to be the first of many Mattel-inspired spinoffs. And in just one weekend it91裸聊视频檚 already surpassed the domestic grosses her last two films, which earned $108.1 million and 91裸聊视频淟ady Bird,91裸聊视频� with $49 million. In 2018, Gerwig also made history by becoming the fifth woman to be nominated for the best director Oscar (for 91裸聊视频淟ady Bird91裸聊视频� ). As of 2023, there have now been seven women nominated for best director, and some are already predicting that Gerwig will notch another nod for next year91裸聊视频檚 ceremony.
91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� and Gerwig91裸聊视频檚 success was celebrated widely online with many in Hollywood pausing to reflect on the moment. Reese Witherspoon posted 91裸聊视频渨ay to go, GG!91裸聊视频� on Instagram, while director Ry Russo-Young wrote that 91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频橞arbie91裸聊视频� and its success looms as a beacon of hope91裸聊视频� amid the strikes and widely shut-down productions.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 wildly original, feminist, giant in scope and swing, and feels singular to a perspective,91裸聊视频� Russo-Young wrote. 91裸聊视频淭hese are rare qualities for big movies these days. I hope to see more made like this in the coming years.91裸聊视频�
Filmmaker Nancy Meyers also celebrated the 91裸聊视频渢riumph91裸聊视频� on Instagram, but bristled at the focus on the glass ceiling aspect asking if 91裸聊视频淐hristopher Nolan has ever once in his life been referred to as a male director.91裸聊视频� Meyers and Nolan are among only a handful of writer-directors who have had two or more of their original films gross over $100 million domestically.
91裸聊视频淕reta Gerwig91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频楤arbie91裸聊视频� accomplished something so profound,91裸聊视频� Melissa Silverstein, the founder of the blog Women and Hollywood and the artistic director of the Athena Film Festival, wrote in an email Monday. 91裸聊视频淭he fact that she made a funny, entertaining feminist critique and broke so many box office records with a movie about a doll that has been such a lightning rod in our culture is a monumental feat that should not be underestimated.91裸聊视频�
Now it91裸聊视频檚 a question of how high 91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� can go and if it can outgross other top films directed by women. In North America, to get the No. 1 spot, 91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� will have to earn more than 91裸聊视频淔rozen II,91裸聊视频� co-directed by Jennifer Lee, which tallied out with $477.4 million. 91裸聊视频淐aptain Marvel91裸聊视频� is in second place with $426.8 million.
With and audience scores in its arsenal, word-of-mouth enthusiasm and watercooler buzz, as well as no direct new competition on the calendar, it91裸聊视频檚 likely that 91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� will have 91裸聊视频渓ong legs,91裸聊视频� a common phrase in the exhibition business that means a movie will continue selling significant numbers of tickets far past its opening weekend.
