Margot Robbie has made us all go gaga over her portrayal of the stereotype Barbie in the latest plastic doll-based movie. Not just playing the lead, but Margot was also among the producers of the movie, which has now made over a billion dollars. While it was recently reported that the actress will make around $50 million with the movie, which is still running in theatres, a new one claims that it is a very small amount of the actual money the actress is making. We wonder if she would beat Robert Downey Jr and Tom Cruise’s earnings from Avengers: Endgame and Top Gun: Maverick, respectively.
Helmed by Greta Gerwig, Barbie also starred Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Simu Liu and more. The movie faced Christopher Nolan’s Cillian Murphy starrer Oppenheimer as a competitor at the box office.
Coming back, Barbie has broken various records so far. After breaking the records of the biggest opening for a female director, the biggest opening for a toy-based movie and more, it has now become the highest-grossing film by a female director. The movie hit the theatres on July 21 and within 17 days, it crossed $1 billion at its worldwide box office. A recent report by Variety claimed that Margot Robbie is taking home a big chunk of the movie’s earnings, about $50 million. But, industry insider Matt Belloni recently mentioned in his podcast The Town that the actress is set to receive a much larger paycheck.
