Barbie was the highest grossing movie of 2023, taking in more than $1 billion in the box office. It was nominated for many awards, including Best Picture at the 2024 Oscars earlier this month.
The movie’s success has inspired an influx of movies based on popular franchises. In July 2023, Barbie’s parent company Mattel revealed plans for 14 movies inspired by projects such as Barnie and Polly Pocket.
