Starring the duo Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken, the film features the iconic Mattel doll venturing all in pink alongside her awkward boyfriend Ken into the real world, that of flat feet and sexist aggression.
The feature film, which has already exceeded one billion dollars at the global box office, a first for a female director, has still collected nearly $ 34 million in revenue in the United States and Canada this weekend according to estimates Sunday by the specialized firm Exhibitor Relations.
Enough to steal the show once again from "Oppenheimer", a tortuous portrait of the designer of the atomic bomb. Christopher Nolan's film grossed nearly $19 million.
In third place on the podium, the Ninja Turtles, who take a facelift with "Ninja Turtles: Teenage Years". The Masked Reptiles raise more than $15 million for their second week in theaters.
Then comes the action film "In very troubled waters", a fiction in the depths of the ocean inhabited by megalodons, formidable giant sharks. It has accumulated nearly $12.7 million.
"The Last Journey of the Demeter", an adaptation of the novel Dracula, completes the ranking with $ 6.5 million.
Here are the rest of the top 10:
"The Haunted Mansion" (5.6 million)
"The Hand" (5.1 million)
"Sound of Freedom" (4.8 million)
"Mission: Impossible" (4.7 million)
"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" (900,000)
