Greta Gerwig’s vibrant and whimsical comedy ‘Barbie’ has become a Box Office sensation, raking in an impressive $155 million at theaters in the U.S. and Canada during its opening weekend. The movie’s strong performance has secured its position as the biggest opener of the year.
Similarly, Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer,’ centered around the life of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, a key figure in the development of the first nuclear weapons, also had a remarkable Box Office success, collecting $80.5 million during its opening weekend. Cillian Murphy brilliantly portrays Oppenheimer in the film.
‘Barbie,’ directed and co-written by Greta Gerwig alongside Noah Baumbach, is a live-action adaptation based on the iconic Barbie fashion dolls by Mattel. Starring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, the film marks the first live-action Barbie movie, setting it apart from the previous animated releases.
Both movies have garnered praise from audiences and critics alike, fueling anticipation for a competitive showdown in the upcoming Academy Awards race.
