The Biggest Day of the Summer for Hollywood has eventually come as the highly anticipated movies ‘Barbie‘ and ‘Oppenheimer’ have been released, on July 21, 2023. There has been an unreal craze for this box-office clash ever since it was confirmed that both of these movies would release on the same day. And, it seems like the John Cena and Margot Robbie movie is winning the battle.
There were several controversies around the release of these movies, as reports claimed that Christopher Nolan wasn’t too happy with the ‘Barbie’ clash and even requested Warner Bros. change their release date. However, nothing like that happened, and the movies were released on their original release date.
The John Cena and Margot Robbie-starrer ‘Barbie’ and the Cillian Murphy-starrer ‘Oppenheimer’ are movies from different genres. However, the same-day release, high-profile star casts, and directors of these movies have led to comparisons, and their biggest comparison is the box-office collections.
According to Deadline, John Cena and Margot Robbie‘s movie ‘Barbie’ is set to have an estimated worldwide box-office collection of $300 million on its opening weekend. This includes $150 million each from the United States and the International market.
On the other hand, Christopher Nolan‘s movie Oppenheimer is estimated to make a box-office collection of around $166 million on its opening weekend. This includes around $80 million from the United States and the rest from Overseas. Looking at the weekend sales, John Cena and Margot Robbie’s “Barbie” is set to score $134 Million on “Oppenheimer.”

John Cena and Margot Robbie’s ‘Barbie’ and Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer‘ are probably the most hyped Hollywood releases in recent memory.

As of now, Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’ is ahead of the John Cena movie ‘Barbie,’ but it must be noted that the review count is double for ‘Barbie.’ The movies have just been released, so it’s probably too early to judge which one is better.
