The long awaited release of Barbie and Oppenheimer is finally here. Theater counts: Barbenheimer finally blasts into theaters, but Mission Impossible still widest release Both films are looking set for great openings, but Barbie looks like it could be the one setting records. It looks like it’ll be a close-run thing, but we might be having the biggest weekend at the box office since the pandemic, with Barbie and Oppenheimer in with a shot of hitting $200 million between them, and enough juice from returning films to take us past the $281.6 million earned on the weekend Spider-Man: No Way Home debuted in December, 2021. Weekend predictions: is Barbenheimer set for a $200-million opening? Both movies are exceeding expectations, but Barbie is the blockbuster that’s set to have the biggest weekend of 2023. Weekend projections: Barbie and Oppenheimer deliver biggest weekend since Endgameīarbie and Oppenheimer are combining to deliver only the fourth weekend in box office history that will top $300 million for all movies combined, and could be the second-biggest weekend at the domestic box office, behind the weekend Avengers: Endgame opened, when all the numbers are in. When a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, they become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces.

Last week wasn’t solely about Barbie however, as Oppenheimer gladly took home its fair share from the weekend, with domestic earnings of $82.45 million.

It’ll have a bit of competition from Haunted Mansion this time around though, and perhaps more people will choose to watch Barbie or Oppenheimer this weekend, rather than both together. Based on how it’s been doing during the week, that seems like a good bet. Weekend predictions: Barbie shooting for $80-million-plus second weekendĪll eyes remain on Barbie this weekend as it attempts to follow up its opening weekend, the 20th-best of all time, with something in the top 20 second weekends of all time. With two juggernauts dominating theaters, Haunted Mansion is having a tough time, and counts as another miss for Disney. It should sit somewhere around 80th place on that chart when the final numbers are in, ahead of the likes of Spider-Man: Far From Home. If that number holds, it will be the 7th-biggest 2nd weekend for a movie in history, just a shade ahead of The Super Mario Bros. ![]() Weekend projections: Barbie has a spectacular hold to earn $93 million on second weekendīarbie will earn a spectacular $93 million in its second weekend in theaters, according to Warner Bros.’ weekend projection.
