'Barbie' Becomes Biggest Warner Bros. Movie Ever at Domestic Box Office, Beating 'The Dark Knight'
Barbie's Tuesday haul was $6.1 million for a domestic total of $537.4 million. In 2008, The Dark Knight topped out at $536 million.
Inspired by Mattel's famous doll -- Barbie jumped the $1.2 billion mark at the worldwide box office on Tuesday, where it is the second-biggest Warners' release in history behind the final Harry Potter film, which grossed $1.34 billion globally, not adjusted for inflation. (Bullish observers believe Barbie can pass the boy wizard as well.)
