Barbie box office prediction: Will the Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling starrer become 2023's biggest hit yet?

Margot Robbie is set to star as the iconic doll in the live-action 'Barbie' movie, directed by Greta Gerwig. The film, which also features Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu, Emma Mackey and more as various versions of Ken and Barbie, is a comedy-adventure that follows Robbie's Barbie as she leaves her perfect world and travels to our reality in search of her true self. The film is based on the popular Mattel toy line that has been around since 1959 and has spawned numerous animated and live-action adaptations.

The much-awaited live-action Barbie movie will make its debut in theatres in India and the US on July 21, 2023. 

The movie is expected to be one of the biggest hits of 2023, thanks to its star-studded cast, its acclaimed director, its nostalgic appeal and its clever marketing campaign. The film has already generated a lot of buzz on social media, with fans sharing memes, jokes and theories about the film's plot and characters. The film also has a strong female lead in Margot Robbie, who has proven her box office draw with films like Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

The film will face some competition from other releases, such as Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, which will open on the same day as Barbie. The two films have very different tones and genres, but they both have loyal fan bases and critical acclaim. However, some fans have suggested that people should watch both films on the same day, as they offer different cinematic experiences. Even some of the stars of Barbie, such as Ryan Gosling and Emma Mackey, have expressed their support for Oppenheimer, saying that they are fans of Nolan's work.

We can expect that Barbie will have a strong opening day of around 7-9 crores at Indian box office. These numbers are not official or guaranteed, but they are based on some reasonable assumptions and comparisons.

Barbie is one of the most anticipated films of 2023, and it has the potential to be a huge success at the box office. The film has a lot of appeal for both young and old audiences, as it offers a fresh and funny take on a classic character. The film also has a talented cast and crew behind it, who have delivered some of the best films of recent years. The film will likely be a hit with both critics and audiences, and it will prove that Barbie is more than just a doll.
