‚Barbie‘ and ‚Oppenheimer‘ continued their massive box office success for the second weekend in a row.
Warner Bros‘ WBD.O „Barbie“ showed no signs of slowing down in its second weekend at the box office, and was set to haul in $93 million in ticket sales Friday through Sunday, according to estimates from media analytics firm Comscore.
Director Greta Gerwig’s take on „Barbie“ – the year’s No. 1 movie, and the highest-grossing opening weekend for a film directed by a woman – has made more than $351 million in the US and Canada since opening on July 21, and nearly $775 million globally, Comscore reported.
The film, which stars Margot Robbie in the titular role, and Ryan Gosling as Barbie’s iconic beau, Ken, sends Mattel Inc’s MAT.O iconic doll on an adventure into the real world.
Thanks to #Barbenheimer, total ticket sales at the domestic box office soared to $311.
