After two weeks at the domestic box office, the juggernaut that is Barbie is still piling up impressive numbers on a daily basis, earning the film just short of $400 million in North America alone, while taking in well over $400 million from international markets. Showing in 4,178 movie houses this week, the Greta Gerwig feature faces two newcomers, in the way of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and Meg 2: The Trench, as they hope to add to their respective franchise earnings.

Animated adventure opened in theaters yesterday, August 2 … Full Movie Details. After years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers through heroic acts. Their new friend April O’Neil helps them take on a mysterious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.

Barbie will earn a spectacular $93 million in its second weekend in theaters, according to Warner Bros.’ weekend projection. 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. Movie’s $92.3 million. Oppenheimer is no slouch either. 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. With two juggernauts dominating theaters, Haunted Mansion is having a tough time, and counts as another miss for Disney.

All 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. Based on how it’s been doing during the week, that seems like a good bet. 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. Even at the low end though, we’re still looking ahead to a very good weekend in theaters.

Back in March we published an analysis of average ticket prices during and since the pandemic, estimating that ticket prices averaged $10.45 in 2022. Since we published that report there’s been quite a lot of activity from trade organizations, with the Cinema Foundation publishing an average for 2022, NATO announcing figures for 2020 and 2021, and, today, our analysis of ticket prices in Q1, 2023.

After opening as the second-widest release last week, Barbie stands alone atop this week’s list of widest releases. The larger half of the duo known as “Barbenheimer” scored a whopping $162 million in its opening weekend and currently enjoys a six-day domestic total of over $237 million. While the opening weekend rush might be over, the Greta Gerwig directed feature looks to have another big weekend at the box office as the film adds 94 locations to its opening count of 4,243 cinemas, becoming available in 4,337 theaters this week. Last week wasn’t solely about Barbie however, as Oppenheimer gladly

Review-Theater counts: Barbie adds theaters as it cruises into its second weekend

Horror movie starring Sophie Wilde opens in theaters this Friday … Full Movie Details. 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.

Barbie 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. Both movies are exceeding expectations, but Barbie is the blockbuster that’s set to have the biggest weekend of 2023.

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. Both films are looking set for great openings, but Barbie looks like it could be the one setting records.

The long awaited release of Barbie and Oppenheimer is finally here. The pair, fondly referred to by the moniker, “Barbenheimer” is poised to headline one of the biggest movie-going weekends in a few years. As different as two films could possibly be, the duo will undoubtedly make their imprint on the Summer movie-going season. Barbie will start out in 4,243 theaters, while Oppenheimer will launch in 3,610 locations across North America. For one more week however, Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One will remain the most widely available film, showing in 4,321 venues.
