Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer took in $10.6 million in its fifth week. With a $285.2 million domestic total, Oppenheimer now owns the distinction of being the biggest box-office hit never to land No. 1 at the weekend box office. The previous record-holder for that unlikely stat is 2016’s Sing, which grossed $270.3 million in the shadow of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Hidden Figures.
The production price tag of about $105 million was lower for Blue Beetle than the average superhero film. It’s one of the last releases produced under an earlier regime at DC Studios, which James Gunn and Peter Safran took the reins of last year.

| The movie version of a beach read arrives in Amazon’s ‘Red, White & Royal Blue’ | Lindsey Bahr / The Associated Press“Red, White & Royal Blue ” is a harmlessly enjoyable fantasy rom-com.
