Psychic Barbie: Margot Robbie predicted the pink-clad film’s box office would hit $1 billion

LA Times  

Margot Robbie accurately predicted that “Barbie” would end up grossing $1 billion at the box office. Box-office and cultural sensation “Barbie” crossed the $1 billion mark at the box office this past weekend, making it the second 2023 release to hit the milestone after “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” accomplished the feat earlier this year. Though this achievement may have seemed like a long shot months ago, the film’s star and executive producer, Margot Robbie, always knew the pink-splattered movie would be a mega hit. The film’s July 24 gross of $26.1 million was a Monday record for Warner Bros., topping the long-held milestone of 2008’s “The Dark Knight.” The initial hype for “Barbie” was initially bolstered by the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon in which audiences were urged to see the film and Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” Then it shot to new highs because of a relentless marketing campaign by Warner Bros.
