Barbie and Oppenheimer  would make on their combined opening weekend. As of Sunday, we have the answer: enough to buy a lot of Dreamhouses.

Barbie vs. Oppenheimer: The Box Office Battle

The box office numbers for both Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” are truly remarkable. While the final figures are yet to be confirmed until Monday, the initial estimates are nothing short of staggering. “Barbie” has garnered approximately $155 million from domestic audiences and an additional $182 million from international markets, indicating its massive appeal on a global scale. On the other hand, “Oppenheimer” has proven to be a surprising success, earning around $80.5 million domestically and an impressive $93.7 million internationally.

What makes these numbers even more astonishing is the fact that “Oppenheimer” is a three-hour drama centered around men discussing theoretical physics while wearing hats. Despite its unconventional subject matter, the film’s captivating storytelling and Christopher Nolan’s directorial prowess have managed to draw audiences in and leave a lasting impact.

Both “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” have proven that originality and compelling narratives can triumph at the box office. These figures highlight the enduring power of unique artistic visions and auteur-driven projects in the highly competitive film industry. As moviegoers eagerly await the final tallies, it is evident that both films have achieved significant success and cemented their place in cinema history.

Barbie stonking opening number

Mexico and Brazil were part of an overall success story in the Latin America region, where the Barbie opening was the biggest of all time for a Warner Bros film beating top franchise fare such as Batman V Superman and the final Harry potter film and the fourth-biggest opening of all time from any studio behind only Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Infinity War and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Barbie ranked number one at the weekend in all Latin America region markets.

Barbie’s Global Box Office Dominance

In continental Europe, it is a rarity for a film to achieve a bigger opening in Spain than in France. However, “Barbie” has defied this trend, making a significant impact in the Spanish market with an estimated $9.8 million opening. While France may not have seen as massive an opening as Spain, it can still be regarded as a success in its own right. The film’s performance in France marks the biggest opening for a Warner Bros. release since the beginning of the pandemic, and it ranks as the studio’s largest opening in the country since “Joker.”

Moreover, “Barbie” has left its mark on various other European markets, delivering the biggest opening for a Warner Bros. film in an impressive 16 regions. This widespread success across the continent is a testament to the film’s universal appeal and the resonance of its themes with diverse audiences.

As “Barbie” continues to make its mark in continental Europe and beyond, its achievements underscore the enduring power of storytelling and creativity in captivating global moviegoers. The film’s ability to surpass expectations and perform exceptionally well in multiple markets speaks to its status as a cinematic phenomenon that resonates with audiences of all backgrounds and cultures.

Oppenheimer is also doing good by $174m

“Oppenheimer” has made an impressive debut on the global stage, amassing an estimated $174.2 million in worldwide box office earnings. Within North America, the film garnered $80.5 million, while it resonated strongly with audiences in 78 international markets, accumulating $93.7 million. Christopher Nolan’s three-hour drama about the men behind theoretical physics has struck a chord with viewers worldwide, proving its appeal as a thought-provoking and captivating cinematic experience. The film’s ability to perform exceptionally well both domestically and internationally showcases its universal allure and reinforces its status as a significant entry in the world of cinema.

Oppenheimer’s Record-Breaking Debut

“Oppenheimer” has achieved an impressive milestone by delivering the highest global gross for a film not ranked at number one since Comscore began publishing its global box office chart in June 2021. This remarkable feat sets the film apart as a powerhouse in the industry, surpassing even the previous record held by “No Time To Die,” which debuted in international markets only and earned $121.3 million in October 2021. Despite its epic runtime of 180 minutes, “Oppenheimer” managed to rise above the challenge and reduce the number of daily showtimes.

In a surprising turn of events, “Oppenheimer” faced head-to-head competition with the widely successful “Barbie,” leading to the creation of the amusing ‘Barbenheimer’ hashtag. The film’s ability to hold its ground and perform exceptionally well in the face of such strong competition is a testament to its captivating storytelling and Christopher Nolan’s directorial prowess.

For comparison, even though “Avatar: The Way Of Water” opened with a staggering $441.6 million in December, dwarfing “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie,” the combined total of the top 10 films that weekend amounted to just $475 million. This highlights the significant impact “Oppenheimer” has had on the global box office, standing out as a compelling and commercially successful film in its own right.
