Title: “Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ Continues to Dominate Box Office, Surpassing Expectations”
In a surprising turn of events, the new film “Barbie,” directed by Greta Gerwig, has been a huge success at the box office, raking in an astonishing $29 million on Friday alone. With its continued success, the film has managed to surpass expectations and make over $200 million in its first five days of release.
Despite receiving mixed reviews, including being labeled “lousy” by The Post, “Barbie” has managed to secure the top spot at the box office for the second week in a row. This victory meant that it beat out the highly anticipated film “Oppenheimer” in terms of ticket sales.
Notably, the Christopher Nolan biopic claimed the second position at the box office, with an impressive $13.4 million in sales. It also made history as the biggest July opener in IMAX’s history, showcasing the unwavering popularity of Nolan’s work among audiences.
Taking the third spot at the box office, “Haunted Mansion” proved itself as a strong contender, earning a respectable $9.9 million. The film features an ensemble cast, including renowned actors such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, and Rosario Dawson.
On the horror front, “Talk to Me,” directed by Australian twin brothers who gained popularity on YouTube, secured fourth place with a solid $4.2 million in ticket sales. This success further reinforces the growing interest in independent horror films and the ability of talented directors to make an impact with limited resources.
Finally, the action-packed film “Sound of Freedom” dropped to fifth place, accumulating $4 million in revenue. Although it slipped down in rankings, the film has managed to maintain a consistent presence in the box office chart.
Overall, “Barbie” is undoubtedly the reigning champion, surpassing all expectations and continuing to draw audiences into theaters. With its captivating storyline and stellar direction by Greta Gerwig, it has proven to be a box office sensation, solidifying its place as one of the most successful releases of recent times.
