Winner: Barbie
Most people figured Barbie would be a hit. It’s too popular of a brand name to not at least get some people interested. But ever since the neon-soaked first set photos leaked, anticipation steadily built. And by the time solidly positive reviews came out, and the world was obsessed with the whole “Barbenheimer” thing, Barbie took off and never looked back. So yes, most people figured Barbie would be a hit. But no one thought it would be one of the biggest hits of all time. Hollywood will now forever remember the release of Barbie.
