This weekend's Barbenheimer duopoly was less showdown and more phenomenon, as both movies walked away winners. While Barbie may have topped the domestic box office with $162 million, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer raked in an impressive $82.4 million. Not bad for a three-hour opus about the father of the atomic bomb.
While many, many people clearly saw one or both movies in theaters this weekend, others may be holding off until they hit streaming services. Barbie will eventually stream on Max, since that movie was released by Warner Bros. Pictures. Oppenheimer was released by Universal Pictures, whose sibling streamer is Peacock.
