2023 saw some great movie releases. From Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie‘ to Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’, people were eager to know which one would be the best movie of 2023. And so far ‘Barbie’ is winning the race.
Greta Gerwig’s film has even beat ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie‘. ‘Barbie‘ has faced the burn from many critics as well but it seems it is the clear winner so far.
‘Barbie’ Surpasses ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’
Although it has been some weeks since ‘Barbie‘ came out, it is still ruling over the box office. The movie has been criticized by many for being man-hating and talking about feminist ideas. Still, America has chosen the all-pink toy doll as their number one movie.
‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ is a tough one to beat since America loves Super Mario. And it did make quite a big box office collection of $574,329,790. But ‘Barbie‘ managed to surpass that as well. Box Office Mojo reported that the Margot Robbie-starrer made $581,701,242.
