"Barbie" is the 14th highest grossing film of all time worldwide, totaling more than $1.4 billion, according to Box Office Mojo.

INDIANAPOLIS — The biggest film of the year is coming to streaming.

"Barbie" will make its streaming debut on Max Friday, Dec. 15 at 3 a.m. ET.

The Greta Gerwig-directed film stars Margot Robbie as the titular character as she goes on a journey of self-discovery after she begins questioning her existence — and, of course, Ken (Ryan Gosling) tags along!

The comedy, which has an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, features an ensemble cast including Robbie, Gosling, America Ferrera, Will Ferrell, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Simu Liu, Michael Cera and more.

According to Box Office Mojo, "Barbie" is the 14th highest grossing film of all time worldwide, totaling more than $1.4 billion.

The film was released digitally Sept. 12 for $29.99 on multiple platforms.

In addition, Warner Bros. and Max announced an American Sign Language interpretation of the film will be avaiable to stream Dec. 15. "Barbie with ASL" will feature ASL performer Leila Hanaumi and will be displayed as a unique title in the app.

"Being able to share the biggest movie of the year in ASL, the first language for many, will make this story resonate in a more meaningful way," said Casey Bloys chairman and CEO of HBO and Max Content. "By offering sign language interpretation, we will build upon the film’s empowering message of inclusiveness and offer a unique viewing experience for the Deaf community to enjoy with family and friends."

The film is expected to be a major contender in the upcoming awards season, and the soundtrack has already earned 11 Grammy nominations across seven categories.
