"The Dark Knight"...falls? In box office rankings, it has.
"Barbie" is making history yet again, overtaking "The Dark Knight"' as the highest-grossing domestic release for Warner Bros. Discovery. "Barbie" has earned $537,390,865 as of Wednesday, surpassing the "Batman Begins" sequel's $534,987,076, according to Box Office Mojo.
The pink wave isn't slowing down either, as "Barbie" has a chance of racing past Universal's animated "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," which was sitting at $574,243,655 domestically Wednesday.
Earlier this month, "Barbie" made history, becoming the first film directed by a woman to hit over $1 billion in global sales — a growing figure that could also pass up the worldwide sales of "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" of over $1.35 billion.
