In a surprising twist, "Barbie" has outshone "The Dark Knight" to claim the top spot in Warner Bros. Discovery's highest-grossing domestic release list. With earnings totaling $537,390,865 as of Wednesday, "Barbie" has exceeded the $534,987,076 generated by the sequel "The Dark Knight," a noteworthy achievement reported by Box Office Mojo.

The momentum behind "Barbie" shows no signs of waning, as it has the potential to overtake Universal's animated film "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," which had accumulated $574,243,655 domestically by Wednesday.

This month has been marked by historic milestones for "Barbie," as it became the first film directed by a woman to cross the $1 billion global sales mark. The film's growing earnings might even surpass the worldwide sales of "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," which had grossed over $1.35 billion.

"Barbie," a movie that delves into the existential journey of the iconic doll portrayed by Margot Robbie, has resonated deeply with audiences. Since its release on July 21, it has consistently held the number one position in movie rankings, maintaining its dominance for nearly four consecutive weeks, according to Box Office Mojo.
