“Barbie” continues to shatter records nearly a month after the Malibu icon first graced the big screen.

Internationally, the film earned $45.1 million from 75 markets to bring its foreign gross to a sizzling $657.6 million. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling star in the movie, which has become the top earning movie from a female filmmaker, passing “Frozen II,” which was co-directed by Jennifer Lee.

Elsewhere, “Meg 2: The Trench” earned $43.7 million from 75 overseas territories, taking the sequel’s international total to $202.8 million. Warner Bros. produced the film about a prehistoric shark who meets its match in Jason Statham (when will these primordial creatures learn that you can’t lay a dorsal fin on the Transporter).
