Barbie surpassed Marvel Studios’ superhero film Captain Marvel , directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, which grossed US$1.13 billion worldwide., a historical drama about the development of the atomic bomb, regained its second-place position, with the other half of the Barbenheimer phenomenon taking in an estimated US$18.8 million over the weekend.

In its debut weekend, Universal’s vampire film The Last Voyage Of The Demeter took a frighteningly distant fifth place, at just US$6.5 million.
