Blue Beetle is the first DC movie to star a Latino superhero.
The DC superhero film Blue Beetle led weekend ticket sales with an estimated US$25.4 million , according to studio estimates, dethroning Barbie from the top spot after a record-setting run that left movie theatres coloured pink for a month.
And the other half of Barbenheimer also continues to perform remarkably well for a movie so far into its run. Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer took in US$10.6 million in its fifth week. With a US$285.2 million domestic total, Oppenheimer now owns the distinction of being the biggest box-office hit never to land No 1 at the weekend box office. The previous record-holder for that unlikely stat is 2016’s Sing, which grossed US$270.
Blue Beetle, starring Xolo Maridueña, came in on the lower side of expectations and notched one of the lower debuts for a DC Comics movie. Though earlier planned as a streaming-only release, Warner Bros elected to put Blue Beetle, the first DC movie to star a Latino superhero, into theatres in the late summer, a typically quiet period at the box office.
