The Barbie and Oppenheimer box office battle could be bigger than originally predicted. The summer's two most anticipated movies, which are drastically different in tone and scope, are releasing in theaters on the same day – a phenomenon that has been dubbed "Barbenheimer." The first Barbie and Oppenheimer box office projections had Margot Robbie's doll opening double that of Christoper Nolan's atomic bomb drama at $80 million to $40 million.

Per Deadline, new box office projections put Barbie at anywhere between $90 million to $125 million in its opening weekend, while Oppenheimer is also expected to open bigger at $50 million domestic.
Breaking Down The Barbie-Oppenheimer Box Office Projections Overall, Barbie and Oppenheimer are expected to blow up the box office with a combined $260 million opening worldwide, which is on the lower end of the projections. The "Barbenheimer" mania, which has resulted in memes, fan art, T-shirts, etc., has undoubtedly given a big boost to their box office potential. In fact, AMC says they have sold more than 40,000 tickets for Barbie and Oppenheimer double features.
Oppenheimer is projected to open much lower between $40 million and $50 million. However, while dwarfed by Barbie, Oppenheimer's projections are mind-blowing for an R-rated and three-hour drama geared towards adults. Now that the final projections have arrived, the wait for the much-ballyhooed box office battle between Barbie and Oppenheimer is almost over.
