JAKARTA - Margot Robbie is estimated to have received a big advantage from the success of the Barbie film. He reportedly received a salary of 50 million US dollars or equivalent to Rp. 767 billion.

Launching Variety, a source explained that Robbie's income was earned because she not only played the main character. Robbie and her husband, Tom Akkerley are also the main producers of this film.

Barbie films are produced under the umbrella of Warner Bros. along with Robbie's production house, LuckyChap Entertainment. Previously he also produced Birds of Prey and Promising Young Woman.

Apart from the two, director Greta Gerwig also received the same advantage. He wrote this film with his husband, Noah Baumbach.

This follows the success of the Barbie film during its one month broadcast. The film reached 1 billion US dollars in one month of broadcast. This income is obtained from local and international box offices.

In the process, Margot Robbie admitted that she had claimed this film would create a box office with extraordinary numbers. He didn't even plan to play the role of the iconic character when the film was in the development process.

"It sounds stupid, but I really never thought I would play Barbie until we developed this project," Margot Robbie said in the interview.

"I think my proposal to get the green light is that studios become very prosperous when they are brave enough to pair big ideas with visionary directors," he said in a different interview.

He gave an example of the Jurassic Park franchise from Steven Spielberg which developed into a successful franchise.

"And I said 'And you guys have Barbie and Greta Gerwig' and I think I told them that the film will get one billion dollars, it sounds too much but we have to make it, right?' Margot Robbie said.

Barbie film tells of Barbie's adventure to go to the real world to find a point of trouble in her. The film stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as well as a number of well-known Hollywood actors.
