Turns out Barbie’s the biggest film opening ever with the exception of “The Avengers: Endgame,” released in 2019, which secured an eye-popping $1.2 billion worldwide.

On the other hand, Director Christopher Nolan‘s “Oppenheimer” landed in second place, taking in over $80 million domestically and $165 million globally, making it the third-strongest opening in history.
If they continue along this track, the sky’s the limit for Barbie and Oppenheimer.
Stay tuned.
