Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie is still going strong in the box office. A report from Deadline states that the film has a shot at hitting the billion mark this Sunday worldwide, if not Monday. Stateside she’s eyeing a third weekend around $55M, -41%, give or take, and it will cross the $400M stateside mark by Thursday, the 15th day of release.

That’s faster than The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Top Gun: Maverick, which took 18 days to hit that domestic B.O. benchmark. Those pics finished their stateside results respectively at $574.1M and $718.7M. Where will the WB/Mattel movie stop? Somewhere around $600M U.S. Through yesterday, Barbie stands at $850M WW.

At $15M, Barbie‘s Monday was the best second non-holiday Monday ever, and her Tuesday of $15.25M is the best non-holiday Tuesday as well (meaning for films that didn’t play through the Christmas or post Christmas holiday breaks).

Both Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Meg 2: The Trench open this week, and they are poised to make $30 Million+ and $20-30 Million, respectively.
