The film directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie will surpass Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
Barbie will surpass Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 as the highest-grossing worldwide opening in Warner Bros. history. Over the weekend, it grossed $18.2 million from 12,852 screens in 75 international territories, to push its worldwide gross to an impressive $1.34 billion. And this has not finished breaking records. It seems likely that Barbie will soon surpass Super Mario Bros. The Movie to become the highest-grossing film of the year worldwide.
and then there is oppenheimer of Christopher Nolan, which is approaching the $800 million mark at the worldwide box office after earning $29.1 million on 7,555 screens in 82 territories. That gives the biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer and the creation of the atomic bomb a whopping $777 million worldwide, a staggering figure for a grim R-rated drama. A Chinese debut looms on the horizon.

Grand Touring Sony added $11 million to bring its global take to just over $53 million. The racing adventure claimed the top spot at the domestic box office, grossing $17.3 million, but may end up ceding the crown to Barbie when the final numbers are tallied.
Meg 2: The Trench grossed $15.2 million from 16,224 screens in 77 markets worldwide. That brings its global gross to $352.5 million. Unlike other Hollywood movies, which have struggled in China lately, Meg 2 has gotten a huge boost from the market, grossing $112.9 million. Warner Bros. released the movie about a primordial shark, just as it did with Blue Beetle, an adaptation of a DC comic. The superhero adventure grossed about $10 million over the weekend in 71 foreign markets and on 10,421 screens. Worldwide, the film has grossed $81.8 million, a disappointing result for a film that cost over $100 million to produce.
