TO REMEMBER
Pole position was decided at the finish. And if Barbie thought to regain its first place, lost last weekend, the hit of the summer was overtaken on the wire by Gran Turismo. Postponed by a few weeks, the adaptation of the famous video game signed Neill Blomkamp is essential with 17.3 million dollars in revenue against 17.1.
According to published estimates, on the French side, on Sunday evening. The figures are therefore bound to change, and perhaps the ranking will do the same, given the small gap between Barbie and Gran Turismo at the moment. Be that as it may, Greta Gerwig’s film consolidates its place as the biggest hit of 2023 in the United States, ahead of Super Mario Bros.
And is about to dub the animated film from Nintendo and Illumination in the rest of the world. To date, only a mere nineteen million dollars separate the two feature films, so it’s only a matter of days before Barbie takes over, integrating the Top 15 of the biggest hits of all worldwide box office time.
Leader last week, for its release, Blue Beetle loses half of its revenue and falls. But manages to stay on the third step of the podium. Small consolation for the DC film, which now has $46.3 million in the United States and 81.8 worldwide, where it should not exceed 150.
Expectations were certainly lower than for Shazam 2 and The Flash, but the disappointment is there, in the heart of a summer where the biggest cards are not those we would have thought. In the image ofOppenheimerwhich has just reached the bar of 300 million greenbacks on American soil, and surpassed Inception.
Current Christopher Nolan’s third biggest success across the Atlantic, behind The Dark Knight and its sequel which he should not exceed, Oppenheimer could end his race around 950 million dollars worldwide according to experts. And that, who would have predicted it, if only in the weeks preceding the release of this three-hour feature film devoted to the father of the atomic bomb?
In the rest of the ranking, the turtles of ninja turtles ahead of the giant shark of In very troubled waters and are approaching the milestone of 100 million greenbacks in the United States. And Liam Neeson stays within the average of his recent action movie starts: Compensation does a little worse than Blacklight but slightly better than Ice Road and The Veteran.
