‘Barbie’ Domestic Box Office Blazes Past Projections
The records are toppling this week at the domestic box office, as “Barbenheimer” day is finally upon us. Combined, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer are looking at over $230 million in the opening weekend alone, as the box office preps itself for one of the biggest clashes in years, and one of the biggest weekends in history.
With an estimated $70 million on Friday, Barbie is expected to generate over $155 million in its three-day debut, which is enough to make it the biggest opener of the year so far. This title was previously held by The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which made $146 million in its three-day debut, and over $200 million across the extended five-day Easter weekend.
The movie is playing in over 4,200 domestic theaters, and runs over an hour shorter than Oppenheimer, which is playing in around 500 fewer theaters nationwide. Factors such as this invariably play a role in how much money a movie is able to make. Longer movies like Oppenheimer can’t squeeze in as many shows in a day as the average summer title, which is why they’re discouraged by studios. But if there’s one director who can get away with virtually anything right now, it’s Nolan.
Two Movies with a Combined Budget of $600 Million Took the Fourth and Fifth Spots Last week’s number one movie, Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One didn’t evaporate from the face of the earth because of the combined power of nuclear energy and plastic, as many had feared. The mega-budget action movie is actually eyeing a soft 54% drop in its second weekend, after grossing $5.5 million on Friday.
