Margot Robbie is currently experiencing great success with her film Barbie, which has become the highest-grossing film of 2023. Not only did Robbie star in the film, but she also produced it under her company, LuckyChap Entertainment. Barbie has earned over $1 billion at the box office and Robbie is expected to receive an Oscar nomination for her performance. This isn't her first taste of recognition from the Academy Awards, as she received her first nomination for the sports black comedy I, Tonya.

Initially, Robbie was unaware that I, Tonya was based on a true story until she finished reading the script.

In 2014, Margot Robbie founded LuckyChap Entertainment with her husband and childhood friends. Their debut production was I, Tonya, a film directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Steven Rogers. The movie explored the infamous incident involving Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding and her ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, who orchestrated an assault on Harding's competitor, Nancy Kerrigan, during the 1994 United States Figure Skating Championships.
