“Barbie” continues to be out to play hard.
In its third Friday in theaters, the summer blockbuster continues to be No. 1, earning $17 million, in line with IMDB’s Box Office Mojo.
The Margot Robbie-led flick is anticipated to hit the billion-dollar mark globally before Monday, which might make its director Greta Gerwig the primary solo female director to attain that goal, CNBC reported.
“Meg 2: The Trench,” the sequel to the 2018 original, landed in second, with $12 million in sales.
The sci-fi motion flick starring Jason Statham, which the Hollywood Reporter said brings “his rugged charm and tough-guy self-irony to sparkling dialogue,” is predicated on a 1999 novel.
In third place was “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” which was released on Wednesday and took home $9.3 million on Friday.
The Post called the reboot the Turtles “finest hour,” and said its directors Jeff Rowe and Kyler Spears “bet big on the title and shrewdly explore what it could be prefer to live as a hormonal, teenage, mutant, ninja turtle.”
“Oppenheimer,” which was in second place last Friday, slipped to fourth, with an $8.3 million take. The Christopher Nolan biopic has already earned $500 million globally and is anticipated to hit over $551 million through Sunday, in line with Deadline.
Disney’s “Haunted Mansion,” which was within the No. 3 spot last week, shrieked its way all the way down to fifth, with near $2.7 million in sales.
