Margot Robbie is one of those rare icons who can seamlessly transition between diverse roles. Even when standing next to Hollywood moguls like Will Smith she manages to steal the spotlight. And through her latest role in the hyper-realistic Barbie universe, her talent has touched a milestone. From cashing in $70.5 million on its opening day, the film’s upward trend has continued. 

Now surpassing one of her previous flicks with Will Smith, Barbie is continuing to take the box office by storm. After all, the stellar performances of its star cast have captivated audiences worldwide. 

Barbie continues making history in its second week

Crusading as a rom-com thriller, Focus burst into theaters in 2015 with the Suicide Squad actress in the lead opposite Smith. Remember the electrifying on-screen chemistry between the co-stars that stunned moviegoers? Fans of both will surely do, considering the whopping $159 million the movie raked in. But even in the absence of a kissing scene that enraged Margot Robbie’s friends, Barbie has left behind Focus in its second week itself. 

Although both of these movies received mixed reviews, they managed to captivate moviegoers worldwide. Both films stand as a shining example of Robbie’s versatility as an actress. But Barbie stands out as a testament to her rising star power and allure.

If all this has Will Smith feeling left out, the actor may find some respite in this AI-generated art that transports him to the Barbieverse.

An AI artist brings us Barbie x Will Smith

Packed in pink, Barbie may have stolen the spotlight from the Australian actress’ project with Will Smith. But an AI artist has shone the pink spotlight right back at the Emancipation actor. Using his AI skills, David Zenyama created iconic Barbiecore renditions of Hollywood’s leading men. And at the helm of his post is none other than Will Smith, standing tall in a bubblegum pink suit. 

Inspired by the pink trend, the artist surely does justice to this portrait of the Independence Day actor. Much like his Focus co-star who lived this trend for months, Smith looks absolutely stunning. Makes us wonder how he would have looked if featured in the movie in real life!
