Barbenheimer’s Global Box Office Battle: How the Two Blockbusters Are Performing in Countries Around the World
“Barbie” has dominated the box office in the United States and Canada, making over $485.4 million as of Aug. 9. “Oppenheimer” has made almost exactly half of that just before its fourth weekend of release, coming in at $241.8 million.China, which is culturally remote from the Barbie-doll phenomenon and its western standards of beauty, initially shunned “Barbie.” But after opening poorly – fifth place with just $8.2 million in its opening three days – the film has shown some powers of endurance.
Korean audiences, who typically embrace top quality acting performances, may find “Oppenheimer” more interesting. It releases on Aug. 15.“Barbie” fever has also reached France, with Gerwig’s film grossing over $28.6 million so far. However, the French — who tend to appreciate darker films than the average moviegoer — are also enjoying “Oppenheimer,” making it a close second with over $24 million earned in the country as of last weekend.
