Greta Gerwig&#8217;s film, based on the iconic Mattel doll, has been capturing the public&#8217;s favor since its first trailers, and its release has confirmed that its quality is sublime, eliciting a fervent response from the audience. On<strong> the other hand, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/taxi-driver-oppenheimer-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oppenheimer<\/a><\/strong>, Christopher Nolan&#8217;s latest film, serving as a biopic of the creator of the nuclear bomb; a remarkable film poised to sweep awards, and it has also resonated well with the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Barbenheimer | Movie Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HrpPMsD6sCE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Barbenheimer achieves the expected success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, as expected, both films have achieved tremendous success worldwide. <strong>But what exact records have this duo, dubbed <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/barbenheimer-the-mixture-of-barbie-and-oppenheimer-has-a-trailer-made-by-artificial-intelligence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Barbenheimer,&#8221;<\/a> achieved? Let&#8217;s take a look<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s start with Barbie. <strong>Gerwig&#8217;s film debuted in theaters with a box office gross of about 155 million dollars<\/strong>, making it the highest-grossing opening of the year. The previous record holder was <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/super-mario-bros-the-movie-arrives-streaming-earlier-than-expected\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Super Mario Bros. The Movie<\/a>, but Margot Robbie&#8217;s film has surpassed the plumber&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that&#8217;s not all. Barbie has also broken a significant record:<strong> the highest-grossing debut directed by a woman<\/strong>. Until now, Captain Marvel (153 million dollars) held the record, but Gerwig has achieved another major milestone. Including international box office numbers, Barbie has surpassed 300 million dollars during its first weekend, making it poised to become the highest-grossing film of the year\u2014at least among those already released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/barbie-1024x487-1-1024x487.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-241309\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The numbers for Oppenheimer may not be as striking<\/strong>, but it has still achieved very impressive figures to keep the phenomenon growing. Nolan&#8217;s film has started its journey with a whopping $80.5 million in the United States, setting its own record: the best opening for an R-rated film since the beginning of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Oppenheimer surpasses <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/where-to-see-john-wick-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John Wick 4<\/a><\/strong>, a movie that previously held this record with $73.8 million. It is also the third-best opening for a Nolan film, behind The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Including international box office earnings, <strong>Oppenheimer has reached a total of $169.4 million<\/strong>, significantly surpassing its $100 million budget. It is expected that these numbers will continue to increase in the coming weeks, but these two films are making it clear that the film industry is not in the dire state that was once thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/oppenheimer-1024x556.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-241310\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"HBO Max\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/a2f73840-9b6e-11e6-a5b8-00163ec9f5fa\/1641088715\/hbo-max-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">HBO Max<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/hbo-max.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/hbo-max.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Some of the links added in the article are part of affiliate campaigns and may represent benefits for Softonic.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barbie and Oppenheimer have made an incredible duo.
