This is Greta Gerwing, the first director to collect 1,000 million dollars at the box office with her ‘Barbie’

Greta Gerwing go around the world After the premiere of Barbie On July 21, the director became the first woman to direct a film alone that manages to break the $1 billion-dollar barrier.

The feature film starring Margot Robbie y Ryan Gosling has grossed $459 million in domestic theaters (counting the United States and Canada) and another $572.1 million at the foreign box office since it hit theaters, Warner Bros. announced Sunday.

Children, adolescents and adults comment on your message. There are those who dismiss it as “superficial” and, on the other side of the coin, those who applaud the work as a “feminist” reflection. For Greta, both comments seem to be positive, as they feed back on the overwhelming success of the famous Mattel dolls.

The American director knows how to turn her films into gold. Proof of this, the indisputable triumph of Lady Bird (2017) y little women (2019), as well as being nominated up to eleven times for the Oscars in the last four years.

It should be remembered that the fashion director also passed in front of the camera. In 2012, she starred in Frances in the film of the same name directed by Noah Baumbach. The cinematographic work, in addition to boosting her career as an actress, served to spark the spark between Greta and Noah. At that time, he was still married to the actress Jennifer Jason Leigh, from whom he would divorce just a year later. Greta, for her part, had a boyfriend that she also broke up with. Now, they are like hand in hand. In the purest Barbie and Ken style.
