The UK economy received an unexpected boost from Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' film. The movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, not only performed well at the box office but also had a significant impact on the country's economy.

According to Warner Bros., during filming in the UK, 'Barbie' created 685 jobs and attracted over 6000 extras. The film also supported 754 local businesses and paid out more than £40 million in wages to local residents.

The total economic contribution of the film was estimated to be over £80 million. This is a significant amount, especially considering that 'Barbie' also grossed over £95 million at the UK box office alone.
