YOUR WEEKEND
BOX OFFICE
Barbie passed the $500m mark at the domestic box office this weekend and is on course to become Warner Bros.' top-grossing film of all time.
Besides pulling in nearly $34m in the States, the Greta Gerwig-directed comedy earned $45.1m internationally to push its global tally to $1.18b, making it the second-highest-grossing release in Warner Bros. history, behind 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, which earned $1.315b.
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, meanwhile, has become the highest-grossing World War II film ever, topping Saving Private Ryan and his own Dunkirk, with a $649m global tally.
The top new arrival is Universal’s The Last Voyage of the Demeter, based on a chapter of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which earned an estimated $6.5m.
