The Barbie movie is expected to earn a significantly larger amount of money during its opening weekend, surpassing previous projections by almost double. Starring Margot Robbie as the titular doll, the film follows Barbie and Ken (played by Ryan Gosling) as they venture into the real world on a journey of self-discovery. The movie is set to hit theaters on July 21st. According to Matthew Belloni, updated box office projections indicate that the Barbie movie's earnings during its opening weekend will exceed the original predictions by nearly twice the amount.
The initial forecast for Barbie's opening weekend earnings was a modest $55 million, but recent projections indicate a significant increase to $93 million. This surpasses Oppenheimer's projected opening earnings of $43 million, effectively doubling their estimate. Stay tuned for further updates.
