Today’s the day! This weekend will likely remain the most talked about weekend at the box office of the year. Some are calling it Barbenheimer, which of course means that both Barbie and Oppenheimer are seeing a simultaneous release this weekend. The internet has had a ton of fun with this fact leading up to today, which may just go to show that competition isn’t always a zero sum game. Indeed, both films are tracking well with Barbie projecting to potentially be the biggest opening of 2023 and Oppenheimer already grossing $10.5 million in Thursday previews.

We’ll have much more to say about both of these films after the results of the weekend are in and we’ve had a chance to see them, so be sure you’re following us on Twitter and Instagram so you don’t miss a thing.

As excited as we are about this weekend, we can’t let it overshadow all the other killer stuff that’s going on at the box office. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One dropped last weekend to rave reviews. Our own Michaela Burton loved it and it unsurprisingly took the top position at the box office. In total, it’s done $264 million worldwide with $95 million of that being domestically. The budget was $291 million, so it will have to keep up the momentum, but we think it’ll be a big success for Tom Cruise and we’re looking forward to Part Two. We’ll keep you posted on its performance as long as your subscribed here :)

Additionally, Sound of Freedom is still crushing in ticket sales from its July 4th release. The incredible true story of former government agent turned vigilante to rescue hundreds of children from sex trafficking jumped Insidious: The Red Door in weekend totals this past weekend from the previous weekend. Insidious is still doing extremely well, having pulled in over $127 million worldwide on a budget of $16 million, which makes it all the more impressive that Sound of Freedom overtook its rank in weekend totals last weekend. Last, and maybe indeed least, Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny has died off at $308 million worldwide and will go down as one of the biggest bombs in Disney’s history. Don’t worry, Disney, Warner Bros. is right there with you with The Flash, which has ended its run with a lower domestic total than Green Lantern. Yikes…
