Barbie topped the charts again this week and brought home a brilliant new result. The live action based on Mattel’s famous doll, released just three weeks ago, has broken through the $1 billion mark in worldwide box office. The record also concerns the film’s director, Greta Gerwig, who became the first woman in film history to record this figure. In Italy, this week’s box office is 6,459,199 euros, followed by Meg 2: The Trench, another Warner Bros-distributed film, just released in theaters, which earns 2,288,864 euros. It drops to third place Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One with a gross of 628,875 euros.
