The two July tentpoles — dubbed “Barbenheimer” by social media — officially came on tracking Thursday, three weeks ahead of their detonation in theaters over the July 21-23 weekend.

 

From Warner Bros., Barbie could open to a beatific $70 million-$80 million, if not more, according to sources who have access to tracking data (and there’s plenty of upside). Warners is being more cautious, suggesting $60 million. The movie, based on the iconic Mattel toy line of dolls, stars Margot Robbie in the titular role and Ryan Gosling as Ken.

 

Universal and Nolan’s Oppenheimer is tracking for a domestic debut in the $40 million range. For Oppenheimer — an R-rated, three-hour drama targeting adults — having legs could prove far more important than its opening weekend haul. Still, $40 million would mark one of the acclaimed filmmaker’s lowest openings. And excluding Tenet, which opened to $20 million during the heart of the pandemic, it would mark the lowest start for the acclaimed filmmakers since The Prestige ($14.8 million) in 2006.

Who could’ve guessed the Barbie movie would have a bigger opening weekend than the three hour long rated R nuclear bomb historical drama? I’m shocked!! 
 

Looking forward to both movies though

Had Barbie released different week and had premium screens it probably could've done $100M.

those numbers seem so low for barbie :( i was expecting at least 200million+ 

 

kinda sad. I hope a sequel does end up happening. 

This is a US only projection for the first weekend, barely any movie is doing 200m+ opening weekend, only eight have done it so far.
