‘Barbie’ & ‘Oppenheimer’ Domestic Box Office Scores Big in Second Weekend
The Big Picture After generating over $300 million across three days last week, the domestic box office is looking to deliver more than $200 million this weekend. The chart was dominated once again by Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Dubbed “Barbenheimer” on social media, the simultaneous release of the two tent poles has morphed into a true cultural event, generating over $1 billion globally in just 10 days.
Oppenheimer was no slouch either. The movie generated $46 million this weekend — among the best second weekends of all time for an R-rated movie — and took its running domestic tally to $174 million. This is a stupendous result for a three-hour biographical drama about one man's guilt for possibly initiating the end of the world. Oppenheimer debuted with $82 million last weekend and surged past the $100 million mark domestically by day five.
