'Barbie' was beaten out for the top spot this weekend for the second time in a row, but not by much at all.
Last week, WB's other release -- the superhero flick 'Blue Beetle' -- was the first to dethrone 'Barbie' from the top spot ... but, again, it did so by a hair. 'BB' made just $25 million or so during its debut weekend, only $4M-$5M more than 'Barbie' did that same weekend.
So, even then ... 'Barbie' still performed quite well, and that's likely to be the case for these next few weeks. The immediate upcoming blockbusters that'll have a shot at 'Barbie' include ... Denzel in 'The Equalizer 3' , 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3' and 'The Nun II and finally ... 'A Haunting in Venice' . After that, there'll be a lot more heavyweights heading into October ... which will almost certainly knock 'Barbie' down a few pegs in the rankings.
Bottom line here is pretty simple ... 'Barbie' has proven to be the smash hit of the year , and it's rolling in the dough and then some as it continues to attract ticket sales. No word when it'll be on streaming services -- at this rate, Warner shouldn't be in a rush.
