“Barbenheimer” continues to dominate the domestic box office for the third consecutive weekend, crossing the impressive milestone of $400 million. Two new releases, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Meg 2: The Trench, are offering moderate competition, expected to secure the third and fourth spots respectively, trailing behind Barbie and Oppenheimer.
Greta Gerwig’s hit comedy Barbie achieved the $400 million mark domestically after just two weeks, outpacing other recent successes like Top Gun: Maverick and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Predictions suggest Barbie will earn around $55 million in its third weekend, with a potential to exceed expectations given its past performance. Globally, the film is approaching the $1 billion milestone, making it one of the top-performing films of the year.
Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan’s biographical drama, is also enjoying success as a summer blockbuster, with its domestic earnings nearing $200 million. The film is expected to gross around $23 million in its third weekend, and it is set to surpass Dunkirk to become one of Nolan’s top five releases globally.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, produced by Paramount, secured the third spot in the box office with $4.8 million on Thursday and is on track for a $40 million opening weekend. The movie’s positive reviews and modest production budget of $70 million bode well for its appeal to younger audiences.
Meanwhile, Warner Bros. released Meg 2, directed by Ben Wheatley and starring Jason Statham, to compete with Barbie. However, the film has received negative reviews and is expected to earn between $20 million and $30 million in its opening weekend, falling behind the success of its predecessor, The Meg.
Disney’s Haunted Mansion, a big-budget production, struggled at the box office, grossing only $33 million in its first week. The film’s performance falls short of the 2003 version based on the same attraction. With a reported budget of $150 million, it faces challenges in recouping its expenses.
Overall, “Barbenheimer” remains the box office leader, and with its phenomenal global earnings, it is poised to join the exclusive club of billion-dollar movies.
