‘Barbie’ scores biggest opening weekend for a female-directed movie

Despite its success, ‘Barbie’ is still some way behind films that scored the best opening weekends of all time – all directed by men.

Greta Gerwig rose to prominence with her “Lady Bird” film, starring Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf, which earned the director Oscar nominations for best original screenplay and best picture in 2018 – but above all for best director, the first women to be nominated for the award in eight years. Previously, Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman”, starring Gal Gadot, had topped the podium for a movie directed solely by a woman .

“Avengers: Endgame,” directed by the Russo brothers, retained its crown with grosses over US$357 million, ahead of two other superhero films: Jon Watts’ “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “Avengers: Infinity War,” again directed by Anthony and Joe Russo .
