Barbie needs £15m more to be in british top3.

if deadline is right jurassic world will be 24 mln ahead of barbie, JW had 10m expansion, so Barbie is still on course to finish around 630 plus whatever expansion, re-relase, new version WB is planning.

DOMESTIC (52.4%) $297,200,152 INTERNATIONAL (47.6%) $270,321,722 WORLDWIDE $567,521,874

yes barbie will have weekends better than 1.1 of JW but weekdays will be more challenging if next monday barbie will also drop 47 percent and then gain 10 percent next day it will be ahead less than one percent. And we are talking about july weekdays vs august weekdays, soon it will be july weekdays vs september weekdays, and dont forget that JW had expansion which added around 10 m. So Barbie will have to gain in upcoming weeks more than 10percent. imo 630 is still optimistic scenario for Barbie. Of course Barbie also can have expansion, oscar re-release etc

If Barbie would follow last week drops/gains it would have 17.6 weekdays in comparison to 16m by jurassic world, JW made another 80m, so if Barbie would earn 10 percent more she would finish with 632m.

do we know how big big budget this movie will have

according to forbes TLM budget was 212m.

in order to beat TGM barbie would have to have 660m domestic with same domestic/international split. Maybe with expansion, re-release, another version barbie can make 660m in NA but 825 with disappointing income from japan i dont think it's possible.

if little mermaid budget was 212m, and elemental 200 we have 2.66 vs 2.2 ratio.

i don't see possibility that it could make less than 1.4b 100m domestic is certain without expansion, re-release around oscars, sing along versions so it would only need 120m internationals, but i think we all know that wb will do everything to make as much money as possible. If barbie wouldnt flop in japan, she could make 1.5b or even finish top 10 worldwide.

did new middle east markets added more money than japan?

JW had expansion which added around 10m, and soon july weekdays of JW will fight with september weekdays of Barbie,

526,5 would be exactly 30m behind JW

how things are going in japan, is there a chance for more than few millions

140 last week, 75 last weekend. If it will drop 40 percent every week it will make another 217. I would be very surprised if it would make less than 200.

i thought that barbie made last week around 140 m international so how can it make only 175. if it will finish with current split domestic/international it would need 260m more from international markets to reach 1500

you'are forgetting/ignoring that JW had expansion which added around 10 mln

Barbie before weekend will be around 492.5 if it will have 40 percent drops every week it will finish 622, 35 percent drops 653.

weird comparison cause super mario was created by japanese guy, and with 3x times more people in japan 5x more bigger box office mean something, my point was that after 3 mln in south korea we cant expect lets say 50 mln in japan

Barbie made just 3 millions in south korea i dont think it may gross so much money in japan that it will make more than 1.6B, of course japan will help with 1.5B.

Barbenheimer can win with Avatar TWOW

barbie made 145 last week if it will drop 41 percent every week it will finish with 782,5 if 35 percent 843 mln. no chance for 1.6 mln around 32.5 drop needed for 1.5b. 1.3B locked, 1.4B almost certain.

The UAE and KSA pushed back the movie's release date from an originally planned 20 July to 31 August, leading fans to question the reasons behind the delay. Although no official statements were made about the reasons for the postponement, parallels had been drawn to past instances where delayed releases were a precursor to bans.

if barbie would drop 43 percent every week it would barely cross 600 mln, next weekend should be much better.
