While Barbie can't really solve feminism (and that's okay), it's definitely making some strides in the right direction. The Greta Gerwig-directed film is now the highest-grossing movie directed or co-directed by a woman in US history.
The film has grossed $526.3 million USD in the US as of today (August 14), making it not only the top-grossing woman-led film, but also the 18th-highest-earning film ever, according to boxofficemojo.com. Barbie beat out the record previously held by Frozen II, which grossed $477.4 million.
As Barbie continues its run in theatres, maybe it'll continue to outrank the 17 films above it directed by Kens. Either way, we hope Gerwig never has to deal with someone playing guitar at her again after achieving this milestone.
