Los Angeles - It was a good news/bad news weekend for"Blue Beetle," the latest superhero film to hit North American theaters and the first built around a live-action Latino protagonist.
But its estimated take of $25.4 million was"the lowest DC superhero debut of this era" other than 2021's money-losing"Wonder Woman 1984." Analyst David A. Gross said that while ticket sales for"Beetle" were only a third the average for new superhero flicks, reviews have been good and overseas prospects are strong.
In third, also in its fifth week out, was Universal's"Oppenheimer," at $10.6 million. The historical drama about the origins of the first atomic bomb has passed the $700 million mark globally.
