In the new blockbuster category, “Barbie” won the Golden Globe. The cinema hit beat, among others, “Oppenheimer”, “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1”, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour”, “Super Mario Bros. Movie” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider- verses”. The Globe distributors introduced the “Cinematic and Box Office Achievement” division with eight blockbuster candidates this year. The prerequisite was worldwide box office receipts of at least $150 million. Streaming films with high viewership could also be taken into account.
