On Wednesday — its 34th day in release — Greta Gerwig’s ”Barbie” passed “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” as the high-grossing domestic box office release of 2023.
Barbie’s North American tally now stands at $575.4 million. Super Mario Bros, from Universal and Illumination, finished with $574.3 million domestically, a feat it reached in 140 days.
With that being said, ‘Super Mario Bros’ is still the top earner of the year globally with a worldwide total of $1.36 billion. “Barbie” has a current global total of $1.3 billion and is projected to overtake Super Mario in a few weeks.
A real shocker. There are some people you think will live forever, and Sir Patrick Stewart was one of them. The legendary actor has passed away at the age of 86. We’ve lost one of the greats.
