In a weekend at the North American box office, legendary Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki has claimed the top spot with his masterpiece, The Boy and the Heron. This animated fantasy marks Miyazaki’s return after more than a decade of retirement and has set a record as the first original anime production to dominate the domestic box office.
The new DC superhero film “Blue Beetle” has managed to dethrone the long-reigning champion, “Barbie.” Regardless of its triumph, “Blue Beetle” experienced a softer-than-expected debut with a total opening weekend earnings of $25.4 million in the US.
The film “Barbie,” directed by Greta Gerwig, has broken boundaries by crossing the historic $1 billion mark worldwide in its third end of the week since its theatrical release.
Barbie, the Greta Gerwig-directed blockbuster from Warner Bros., has taken the worldwide box office by storm, turning into an impressive competitor to join the billion-dollar club in record time.
