A week later, the boom has not abated.
Seven days after Greta Gerwig91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� and Christopher Nolan91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淥ppenheimer91裸聊视频� , the two films held unusually strongly in theaters. 91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� took in a massive $93 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. 91裸聊视频淥ppenheimer91裸聊视频� stayed in second with a robust $46.2 million. Sales for the two movies dipped 43% and 44%, respectably 91裸聊视频� well shy of the usual week-two drops.
91裸聊视频淏补谤产别苍丑别颈尘别谤91裸聊视频� has proven to be not a one-weekend phenomenon but an ongoing box-office bonanza. The two movies combined have already surpassed $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales. Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for data firm Comscore, call it 91裸聊视频渁 touchstone moment for movies, moviegoers and movie theaters.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淗aving two movies from rival studios linked in this way and both boosting each other91裸聊视频檚 fortunes 91裸聊视频� both box-office wise and it terms of their profile 91裸聊视频� I don91裸聊视频檛 know if there91裸聊视频檚 a comp for this in the annals of box-office history,91裸聊视频� said Dergarabedian. 91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 really no comparison for this.91裸聊视频�
Following its year-best $162 million opening, the pink-infused pop sensation of 91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� saw remarkably sustained business through the week and into the weekend. The film outpaced Nolan91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淭he Dark Knight91裸聊视频� to have the best first 11 days in theaters of any Warner Bros. release ever.
91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� has rapidly accumulated $351.4 million in U.S. and Canadian theaters, a rate that will soon make it the biggest box-office hit of the summer. Every day it91裸聊视频檚 played, 91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� has made at least $20 million.

91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 a crazy number,91裸聊视频� said Jeff Goldstein, distribution chief for Warner Bros. 91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 just a built-in audience that wants to be part of the zeitgeist of the moment. Wherever you go, people are wearing pink. Pink is taking over the world.91裸聊视频�

For a movie industry that has been trying to regain its pre-pandemic footing 91裸聊视频� and that now finds itself largely shuttered due to actors and screenwriters strikes 91裸聊视频� the sensations of 91裸聊视频淏arbie91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淥ppenheimer91裸聊视频� when everything lines up just right.
91裸聊视频淧ost-pandemic, there91裸聊视频檚 no ceiling and there91裸聊视频檚 no floor,91裸聊视频� Goldstein said. 91裸聊视频淭he movies that miss really miss big time, and the movies that work really work big time.91裸聊视频�
Universal Pictures91裸聊视频� meanwhile, is performing more like a superhero movie than a three-hour film about scientists talking.
Nolan91裸聊视频檚 drama starring Cillian Murphy as atomic bomb physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer has accrued $174.1 million domestically thus far. With an additional $72.4 million in international cinemas, 91裸聊视频淥ppenheimer91裸聊视频� has already surpassed $400 million globally.

The week91裸聊视频檚 top new release, Walt Disney Co.91裸聊视频檚 an adaptation of the Disney theme park attraction, was easily overshadowed by the 91裸聊视频淏补谤产别苍丑别颈尘别谤91裸聊视频� blitz. The film, which cost about $150 million, debuted with $24 million domestically and $9 million in overseas sales. 91裸聊视频淗aunted Mansion,91裸聊视频� directed by Justin Simien (91裸聊视频淒ear White People,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频淏ad Hair91裸聊视频�) and starring an ensemble of LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito and Rosario Dawson, struggled to overcome mediocre reviews.
91裸聊视频淭alk to Me,91裸聊视频� the A24 supernatural horror film, fared better. It debuted with $10 million. The film, directed by Australian filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou and starring Sophie Wilde, was a midnight premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January and received (95% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes). It was made for a modest $4.5 million.
While theaters being flush with moviegoers has been a huge boon to the film industry, it91裸聊视频檚 been tougher sledding for Tom Cruise, the so-called savior of the movies last summer with 91裸聊视频淭op Gun: Maverick.91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频淢ission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part I,91裸聊视频� which debuted the week before the arrival of 91裸聊视频淏arbenheimer,91裸聊视频� grossed $10.7 million in its third weekend.
