Barbie is heading towards a total of over 700 million dollars in North America alone. This will make it one of the 7 films to have done a business of over 700 million in the domestic market. Few trade pundits are expecting it to breach the 750 million dollar mark as well and in all honestly, it can't not be taken seriously as anything is possible with a trend like that of Barbie. India was among the rare countries where Barbie grossed less than Oppenheimer. However, contrary to the narrative that is being formed, it has done very well in India and is heading towards a lifetime of over Rs 40 crores nett (6 million dollars gross). Barbie isn't as big a brand in India as it is in the west and to still put up these kind of numbers is appreciable.
