Box office rampage: Barbie beats Batman!

On Tuesday, the box office sensation notched another major milestone when passing up Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight to become the biggest Warner Bros. movie ever in North America, not adjusted for inflation.

Barbie’s Tuesday box 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. ..
