Only 5 female directors have ever had a movie make more than $800 million at the box office — here they all are

"Captain Marvel," "Wonder Woman," and "Barbie" are three rare successes from women in Hollywood.Marvel, Warner Bros.

• Director Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" is the first movie solo-directed by a woman to cross $1 billion.
• Insider rounded up the highest-grossing movies worldwide from female directors.

There are 53 movies that have grossed more than $1 billion at the box office, but only a select few have been directed by women.

As Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" continues to break box-office records, recently crossing $1 billion, Insider rounded up the highest-grossing female directors worldwide and it shows just how much the space is dominated by men.

Only six of the 100 highest-grossing movies of all time are directed by women. That milestone is minimized since the three top-grossing movies from women were codirected by male colleagues.

Currently, "Barbie" is the only solo-directed movie from a woman to surpass $1 billion worldwide. If it continues at its current pace, it may become the highest-grossing movie from a female director of all time.
