1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 2: Much has been made of Barbenheimer, the supposed battle of

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 2: the box office over the past weekend between two films.

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: It couldn't be more different on paper, Greta Gerwigs Barbie

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 2: and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. But at the end of the day,

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: rather than battle each other out, the unlikely allies more

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: accurately ended up uniting to claim one of the most

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: successful domestic box office weekends in cinematic history. Barbie was

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: easily number one, ranking in more than one hundred and

10
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: sixty million dollars nationwide, officially the most successful opening for

11
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: a female director movie of all time. But Oppenheimer was

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: certainly a strong number two, particular for a ratedar think piece,

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: earning more than eighty two million dollars, and Disney's Haunted

14
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: Mansion took in around thirty million dollars. All told, about

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: three hundred and eight million dollars in movie ticket sales

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: were sold across the US, the fourth best weekend theaters

17
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: have ever seen.

18
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: That's direct from Hollywood
