Actress Margot Robbie is currently enjoying the success of her fantasy comedy film "Barbie," which has become the highest-grossing film of 2023. The movie, directed by Greta Gerwig, has earned $1.4 billion at the box office and recently won the inaugural Golden Globe for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. Robbie, who not only starred as Stereotypical Barbie but also produced the film through her production company LuckyChap Entertainment, has been reminded of her childhood by the film's immense commercial success.

"Barbie" is the first live-action adaptation of the popular children's play doll and had faced challenges during its development.

Robbie took the lead as a producer and successfully brought on director Greta Gerwig. The film tells the story of Stereotypical Barbie, who experiences an existential crisis as she relives the same day in Barbieland. It was praised for its mature themes and references to real-world issues, while still being a comedy. The film received nine Golden Globe nominations, tying with Cabaret for the second-most nominations in the history of the award.

The film also broke numerous box office records, with a global collection of $1.

4 billion. When asked about the film's historic opening, Margot Robbie expressed that it represented a communal experience at the theaters, something that had been missing for quite some time. Attending the Golden Globes ceremony, she shared, "It's more about what that number represents. When we would go to the theater on opening weekend and seeing this sea of people wearing pink or dressed up as Ken, it was such a wild feeling and I haven't seen this communal kind of experience since I was a kid."

"Barbie" surpassed the animated film "The Super Mario Bros." to become the highest-grossing film of the year.

The film achieved several milestones at the box office, including becoming the highest-grossing film by a solo female director. It also broke the record for highest-grossing live-action comedy by a solo female director, surpassing the Chinese film "Hi, Mom." Additionally, "Barbie" became the highest-grossing comedy of all time, overtaking the previous record held by “Home Alone.”
