“Barbie” made another $6.1 million on Tuesday, for a domestic total of $537.4 million. That makes it the biggest Warner Brothers movie EVER in North America.

The previous champ was “The Dark Knight”, which topped out at $536 million.

“Barbie” has made $1.2 BILLION worldwide, but it’s only Warner Brothers’ SECOND-biggest global hit. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” is still ahead of it with $1.34 billion.

Speaking of box office milestones, the indie hit “The Sound of Freedom” has now made $174 million in the U.S., putting it ahead of the new “Indiana Jones”and “Mission: Impossible” movies.

(Both of those movies, by the way, are on track to lose about $100 million each.)
