Barbie and Oppenheimer continue to reign at the box office in their second weeks by holding off Disney's Haunted Mansion and A24's Talk to Me.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Disney and A24 are both no match for the combined might of Barbie and Oppenheimer. The two movies have been the subject of much attention for months, due to their fierce competition. Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer tells the dark and dramatic story of the Manhattan Project's director J. Robert Oppenheimer, while Greta Gerwig's Barbie focuses on challenging the patriarchy with the help of some childhood toys.
Deadline reports that Oppenheimer has netted $46.6 million in its second week. Barbie has been doing even better by securing $93 million just this weekend. Barbie has taken $351.4 million in North America overall, while globally pulling in $750 million to become 2023's third-largest release. The ongoing Barbie and Oppenheimer battle continues to benefit both movies. Haunted Mansion had a much more disappointing weekend, opening to only $33 million worldwide, despite a $150 million budget.
Barbie And Oppenheimer Continue To Dominate It's no surprise that Barbie and Oppenheimer are blowing away their second weekends. Last week secured record-breaking openers for Barbenheimer with Oppenheimer pulling in $82.4 million domestically, while Barbie sits on a shining pink throne with its $162 million take. The weekly gross for theaters was $500 million — something that has only been achieved four other times in box office history.
The contrast between Barbie and Oppenheimer has been some of that box office draw. Both films tackle heavy topics, but Barbie does it with a pink and plastic veneer, while Oppenheimer prefers a mix of black-and-white and color as it uses gigantic practical explosions. Additionally, Nolan and Gerwig both have respectable careers that could draw crowds in-and-of themselves, but their star-studded casts certainly help to keep the films prominent.
Nostalgia has also been a major drawing factor for Barbie particularly, as memories of the childhood toy keep audiences pouring into theaters. It could explain why it sits so far ahead of Oppenheimer, despite both enjoying thoroughly respectable hauls. Barbie's extraordinary success speaks to more than just IP, however, as excellent word-of-mouth and critic scores have kept both films alive in their second weekend.
