Box Office Weekend

For the second consecutive week, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie stood tall and claimed the box-office weekend by a margin of $47 million.

During its second weekend in release, Barbie brought in $93 million to easily hold onto the top spot of this week’s top ten. The impressive tally brings the film’s two-week total to an even more impressive $351 million. Meanwhile, also holding steady from last weekend was Oppenheimer which remained in second-place adding $46 million over the weekend to lift its two-week total to $174 million. The first debut of the weekend, Haunted Mansion, claimed third place with $24 million to show for its opening weekend. This pushed Sound of Freedom to fourth place where it added $12 million, bringing its four-week total to $149 million. Also falling a spot was Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which landed in fifth place with $11 million. This gives the film a three-week total of $139 million.

The second debut of the weekend, Talk to Me, brought in $10 million which landed it in sixth place. Last weekend’s fifth-place finisher, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, fell to seventh-place where it added $4 million over the weekend, giving it a five-week total of $167 million. Dropping a spot to eight-place was Elemental with $3.4 million. This gives the Disney/Pixar film a seven-week total of $145 million. Falling three spots to land in ninth-place with $3.2 million earned this weekend was Insidious: The Red Door, bringing the film’s four-week total to $78 million. Finally, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse dropped two spots to finish in tenth place with $1.4 million. This gives the film a nine-week total of $379 million.

Two films were again forced out of the top ten this week as both ninth- and tenth-place films from last week failed to make the top ten this weekend. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts departs with an eight-week total of $156.6 million. Meanwhile, No Hard Feelings leaves after amassing $50.2 million over the last six weeks.
