Despite heading into its third week on general release, Greta Gerwig's Barbie has held on to the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office after officially passing $1 billion worldwide, followed by Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer at No. 2.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, meanwhile, has climbed to No. 3 after grossing a solid $3.7M on Monday, marking an impressive -56.5% from Sunday. Its domestic cume now sits at $47M.
The Seth Rogen produced animated reboot is sure to benefit from positive word-of-mouth thanks to its “A” CinemaScore and 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. It also has a relatively modest $70 million budget, which means it won't have to take in nearly as much to turn a profit as other recent animated features such as Pixar’s $200 million-budgeted Elemental and Sony Pictures' Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse ($100M).
