Barbie and Oppenheimer's Box Office Boost

Barbie and Oppenheimer's box office success, with 'Barbie' nearing $1 billion and both films earning over $1.1 billion globally, has reinvigorated moviegoers and boosted the overall summer box office. AMC Theaters had its best week in history, with 'Barbie' grossing $93 million and 'Oppenheimer' almost $47 million in their opening weekends. The movies' financial success reflects a renewed interest in the movie theater experience, and the ongoing labor disputes between the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA may impact future projects.
