'Barbie' Dominates Box Office, 'Oppenheimer' Holds Strong at No. 2

Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" and Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" continue to dominate the box office, with "Barbie" earning $93 million in its second weekend and "Oppenheimer" bringing in $46.2 million. Both films have seen unusually strong holds, with only a 43% and 44% drop in sales, respectively. The combined global ticket sales for the two movies have already surpassed $1 billion. "Barbie" has become the biggest box-office hit of the summer, accumulating $351.4 million in the US and Canada, while "Oppenheimer" has grossed $174.1 million domestically. The success of these films has demonstrated the potential for post-pandemic box office success, while other releases like "Haunted Mansion" struggled to make an impact.
