Barbie has achieved exceptional ticket pre-sales, surpassing a 2023 record. The film, scheduled to premiere on July 21, was helmed by Greta Gerwig and written by her in collaboration with Noah Baumbach. This comedic adventure revolves around the beloved Barbie (played by Margot Robbie) and her partner Ken (portrayed by Ryan Gosling), as they embark on a journey of self-discovery from the idyllic Barbie Land to the real world.
According to Deadline, the BoxOffice Company reports that Barbie's pre-sale tickets have reached an unprecedented peak for this year. These pre-sales have outpaced those of any other 2023 film, including the highly successful The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. This achievement marks the best pre-sale performance since the release of Avatar: The Way of Water in 2022, a film that currently holds the title of the third highest-grossing movie globally.
