230726 "芭比海默"掀北美观影热潮
▍原文
“Barbenheimer” didn’t just work – it spun box office gold. The social media-fueled fusion of Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” brought moviegoers back to the theaters in record numbers this weekend, giving a glimmer of hope to the lagging exhibition business.
“Barbie” claimed the top spot with a massive $155 million in ticket sales from North American theaters, and “Oppenheimer” also soared past expectations, taking in $80.5 million in the U.S. and Canada.
