Fans are officially riding the Barbie wave as the movie hits theatres this weekend. While the movie faces strong competition from Oppenheimer, the Barbenheimer mania has gripped the audience and the double feature makes it a sure win for the movie business. Both the movies have crushed the early projections and enjoyed massive box office success.
Per a new report in Deadline, this weekend, the movie became the highest domestic opening of the year to date, surpassing The Super Mario Bros‘ $146.4 opening weekend; it also dethroned The Super Mario Bros for the largest grossing day of 2023 with $70.8 million to Mario's $54.8 million. Warner Bros Discovery, which has been desperate for a box office win after the failure of major DC titles like The Flash, Shazam 2 and Black Adam, saw the largest advance sales ever with Barbie at $49.5M.
