If true this will be in the running for a top 5 opening of 2023 thus far. The budget is 'only' $100 million too. This film may well be a hit!

1. The Super Mario Bros. Movie - $146.36 million
2. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse - $120.66 million
3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - $118.41 million

This film is trending very strongly in both Brazil and Mexico, per online reports.

This looks like it'll be a big hit.

Latest predications say $100 million is a dead cert and it could even climb up towards $130-ish.

Certified hit.

‘Barbie’ Has Best Ticket Presales Since ‘Avatar: The Way Of Water’

“You’re being managed on Barbie” was a snarky text I received last night, “it’s at least $130M.”

The point of that is the projections out there for the Greta Gerwig directed feature take of the Mattel doll are indeed wild. Rivals were spotting $90M-$125M; Warners asserting $75M. Today, to support the crazy fever of moviegoing we’re about to witness this weekend, the BoxOffice Company is reporting that Barbie is outpacing all other films this year since Avatar: The Way of Water. You’ll remember that James Cameron directed sequel debuted to $134M.

Word is out that it's quite good and funny. Plus it's high concept and subversive. It's genuinely new at a time where the other movies out there feel mind-numbingly the same.
