Barbie's blockbuster era has begun. The Margot Robbie-led film earned a massive $22.3 million on Thursday night, the biggest preview gross of the summer ahead of 'Guardians Vol. 3' ($17.5 million).
The “Barbie” preview haul is the biggest of the summer box office, beating the previous best of $17.5 million from “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.”
Both films stand to spin a nice profit during their runs; “Barbie” had a budget of $145 million and “Oppenheimer” was $100 million. The real winners are, of course, theater owners and the approximately 200,000 “Barbenheimer” fans who booked same-day, double screenings of the films across the country.
