Then you have the diametrically opposed experience of Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” The lengthy biopic about Robert Oppenheimer, who led the United States’ Manhattan Project to build a nuclear weapon during World War II, earned $80 million domestically ($174 million globally) on its opening weekend. The Barbie-licious halo effect even extended to the very testosterone-driven fields of Yankee Stadium in New York City, where Aqua’s one-hit-wonder, blasted around the stadium during a Yankees-Kansas City Royals game on Sunday. Not only did the one-two punch of Barbie and Oppenheimer, crowned by America as “Barbenheimer,” leave audiences enraptured this past weekend, but the double feature’s opening box office performance could have seriously challenged the movie might of superhero blockbusters.Ī pretty pink halo surrounded director Greta Gerwig’s “ Barbie,” propelling the movie to a stupendous $155 million box office domestically ($337 million globally), giving the film the largest opening weekend of 2023 and the biggest-ever debut for a female director.
