Directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Greta Gerwig, Barbie took its titular heroine on a path of self-discovery that forced her to change her outlook on what it means to be a woman in the real world. Her visionary take on Barbie’s journey was met with critical acclaim and amazing box office numbers following the film’s premiere on July 21.

Barbie knocked it out of the park with a $337 million global opening, racking in $155 million in North America and an additional $182 million in other territories. This marks the biggest opening of the year so far and the highest-grossing weekend for a film directed by a woman.

These numbers are even more impressive when you remember that Warner Bros. predicted a $75 million domestic debut, and the company’s president of international theatrical distribution, Andrew Cripps, was blown away after seeing them.

“The incredible worldwide results we’ve seen are a testament to the filmmakers’ singular vision to provide a fun and engaging experience that audiences of all ages are responding to in a fun and powerful way,” said Cripps in a statement.

The Barbie movie has been in development since 2018, when Robbie was first attached to the project. Mattel has kept pretty quiet about this movie for a while, but they managed to pique our interest after announcing they hired Greta Gerwig as a director. She’s also in charge of writing the script alongside her frequent creative partner Noah Baumbach.

As for Gosling, Deadline reports that he initially declined the role due to his busy schedule. As pre-production dragged out, he agreed to come back on board after Warner Bros. kept insisting he’s their one and only choice to play Ken.

Gosling hasn’t appeared in any new movies since playing  Neil Armstrong in Damien Chazelle’s biopic First Man in 2018. He currently has several projects in development, and we’ll next get to see him in the action thriller The Gray Man by Anthony and Joe Russo, also starring Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, and Regé-Jean Page.
