It took a month, but Barbie finally fell off her perch atop the domestic box office. Blue Beetle, the latest offering from the DC universe, leaped to No. 1 with a $25.4 million domestic bow, per Deadline — a meager opening for the superhero pic and the lowest for a DCEU offering to date. The figure comes in higher than Wonder Woman 1984’s $16.7M and a tad lower than The Suicide Squad’s $26.2M, but remember, those pics were released on HBO Max during the pandemic. Blue Beetle couldn’t even match Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ $30.1M, a film that finished with $167M worldwide.

The only other new release was Universal’s R-rated comedy Strays, featuring the voices of Will Ferrell and Jamie Foxx, which crashed and burned with $8.3M.

Otherwise, Barbie came in at No. 2 with $21.5M, bringing its domestic total to $567M and worldwide cume to $1.279 billion, making it Warner Bros.’s top-grossing movie of all time.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer also continues to rake in the moola, bringing in another $10.6M, raising its total to $285.2M domestic and $717.8M worldwide. It is now the highest-grossing film not to reach No. 1 at the domestic box office and currently stands as the fifth highest-grossing R-rated picture of all time worldwide behind Joker ($1.066B), Deadpool 2 ($786M), Deadpool ($781M), and The Matrix Reloaded ($738M). By next week, it will have surpassed the worldwide total of Nolan’s Inception ($728M) to become the director’s third biggest feature.

Looks like DC might have a hit on their hands as it is expected that Blue Beetle will finally dethrone Barbie as the weekend box office champion.

The DC superhero film features Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes, a recent college graduate who becomes a superhero. The film opens on August 18, 2023, and is expected to overtake Barbie at the box office. For context, the Margot Robbie-led comedy movie is entering its fifth weekend in theaters and has been at the top of the domestic box office sales for four consecutive weekends.

Blue Beetle is projected to earn $25 to 32 million in its opening weekend, which would overtake Barbie’s projected $17 to 20 million. Barbie’s box office has been a massive success, becoming Warner Bros.’ highest-grossing domestic release of all time, recently passing The Dark Knight.

The film stars Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes, with a supporting cast including Susan Sarandon, George Lopez, Adriana Barraza, Damián Alcázar, Raoul Max Trujillo, and Becky G.
