Barbie is doing amazing business at the box office, the film crossed Avengers: Age of Ultron globally and The Avengers domestically. The Greta Gerwig summer smash is already the highest grossing film of the year. Along with that, Barbie is now the 14th highest grossing film of all time at the worldwide box office. I agree, most of the credit for this goes to the Barbenheimer trend on social media that hyped up both the films in such a manner that it looks like both overperformed at the box office. Still, becoming the Highest Grossing film of the year is no small feat and Barbie should get all the credit for it. However, the Greta Gerwig’s summer smash isn’t stopping there. With each new weekend, the film crosses a new milestone at the box office. As the film continues to earn more, let’s take a look at how much Ryan Gosling made out of the film.
Ryan Gosling Gets A Huge Paycheck For Barbie!
Variety revealed in a report that Ryan Gosling has reportedly made $12.5 million for his role as Ken, which matched Margot Robbie’s salary for her leading role as Barbie. This shows that his performance was valued highly by being paid the same as Robbie despite not playing the title character. It was later revealed that Margot Robbie’s Barbie salary was actually a lot higher, though, as she received bonuses of over $50 million. It is unclear if Gosling was also paid any bonuses for the film.
This summer has Barbenheimer frenzy. Barbie and Oppenheimer released at a time when summer 2023 ticket sales were down 7% from the same time in 2022 after films like The Flash underperformed at the box office. Since the beginning of “Barbenheimer,” the summer gross drastically improved, with the tally now standing $4.028 billion, the most since the summer of 2019, which hit $4.34 billion thanks, in part, to The Lion King and Spider-Man: Far From Home, which each eclipsed the billion-dollar mark globally. Both the blockbusters have triggered a spike in ticket sales by 16.6% helping Hollywood to go back to pre-pandemic levels for the first time in 4 years.
The film’s script has been co-written with Greta Gerwig and her partner Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story, Frances Ha, White Noise). Margot Robbie will star in the titular role with Ryan Gosling playing Ken, Barbie’s male counterpart. The rest of the cast includes, America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Issa Rae, Ncuti Gatwa, Alexandra Shipp, Ariana Greenblatt, Sharon Rooney, Ana Cruz Kayne, Emma Mackay and Hari Nef.
