Meanwhile 'Barbenheimer' holds strong in the Top 5.
The Big Picture Sunday’s National Cinema Day is proving to be a wildcard at the domestic box office this weekend, with the current lineup subject to change once the final numbers are reported tomorrow. But as things stand, Sony’s Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story is poised to top the chart in its debut weekend. The video game adaptation is looking at a $17 million debut, after grossing $8.5 million on Friday, which isn’t a great result for the film, despite its modest budget of $60 million.
The movie had a head-start abroad, and had already accumulated over $20 million from overseas territories prior to its stateside debut. Gran Turismo arrives on the back of mixed reviews and in the middle of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, which meant that Sony had to bank publicity weeks in advance, because strike rules forbid talent from participating in promotional activities.
Warner Bros'. holdover blockbuster Barbie would’ve topped the box office for the fifth time if Sony hadn’t juiced up numbers for Gran Turismo by $3.9 million from sneak preview screenings held across two weeks, as opposed to the standard practice of previewing movies on Thursdays. Barbie is looking at a $15.7 million weekend, which takes its running domestic total to a staggering $600 million, give or take.
Last Weekend's Number One Film Slipped to the Third Spot Third place went to another Warner Bros. film, the superhero title Blue Beetle, which has simply not been able to perform in 10 days of release. The movie, which was caught between a rock and a hard place in the context of the ever-evolving DC Extended Universe, debuted with a soft $25 million last weekend.
The fourth and fifth spots were claimed by Universal Oppenheimer, which registered yet another solid hold in its sixth weekend — the movie famously debuted opposite Barbie over a month ago — and Paramount’s animated underdog Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. While Oppenheimer added $9 million this weekend, taking its running total to exactly $300 million, Mutant Mayhem made $5.6 million in its fourth weekend, and will pass the $100 million mark domestically in a day or two.
