“Barbie” is coming to streaming services. Greta Gerwig’s hit movie, which broke records both at the box office and created viral trends in the fashion and beauty industry, will be available on digital platforms on Sept. 5, according to Variety.
The film, which came out July 21, stars Margot Robbie as Barbie, alongside Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, Issa Rae and more portraying the fellow citizens of Barbieland. Upon its release, the movie broke a number of records, bringing in $155 million on its opening weekend and becoming the biggest film debut in history for a woman director.

The film had sales of $537.4 million at the U.S. box office and is now Warner Bros.’ highest-grossing domestic release — the former title holder was Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight,” which made $536 million at the U.S. box office in 2008. Overall, “Barbie” has amassed more than $1 billion at the box office worldwide so far.
