'Barbie' Dominates Box Office, Sets Record-Breaking Weekend
TL;DR Summary
Despite its record-setting box office opening in North America, the Greta Gerwig-directed film "Barbie" had a disappointing start in China, earning only $8 million and finishing fifth behind local Chinese hits. This continues a trend of Hollywood films underperforming in China. However, Barbie has received positive word of mouth and saw a boost in sales rankings on Monday. The film faced tough competition from local releases, including the historical fantasy epic "Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms" and the animated film "Chang An."
