Given just how much you've likely heard the words Barbie,?? ??? Oppenheimerand Barbenheimer over the past couple weeks, it's probably no surprise that the weekend's hotly-anticipated movie double-bill had a huge box office opening weekend.
But exactly how huge are we talking, and how do the numbers compare to some of the other biggest movie weekends of all time?

The fact that both movies did well isn't necessarily a huge surprise. Barbie's marketing campaign was big and impressive, and the concept of Barbenheimer had people suddenly planning double features (UK cinema chain Vue said a fifth of ticketholders ended up seeing both movies). Whatisimpressive, though, is just how well the two films did, setting a record for the first time a movie opened over $100 million and another opened at over $80 million in the same weekend.
As Boehle pointed out, when one movie opens at over $100 million in a weekend, the next best-performing film typically doesn't even come close.

Barbenheimer isn't the biggest top two of all time, but it's worth noting that weekends that beat it typically have one movie that pretty much carries the number on its own — the record-breaking Avengers: Endgamesinglehandedly raking in over $350 million in its opening weekend; the total gross for all movies that weekend was over $400 million.

In terms of other records set, Greta Gerwig's Barbienow has the biggest opening weekend of all time for a female director, just sneaking ahead of Anna Boden's Captain Marvel, which made $153 million in its debut weekend in 2019.

Overall, this marks the fourth biggest movie opening weekend ever after those of Avengers: Endgameand Infinity War, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens— all major Hollywood franchise films with steadfast, existing audiences, unlike Barbieand Oppenheimer.
