Blue Beetle was the top of the weekend box office, dethroning Barbie which has held the spot for the past four weekends. Blue Beetle debuted with $25 million domestically and $18 million internationally for a total of $43 million. That opening was on part with The Suicide Squad which opened with $26.2 million in 2021. Blue Beetle was originally supposed to be a film on HBO Max, so its theatrical numbers are a bit of a headscratcher, but the movie was projected to open between $30 and $35 million. But, the film has received positive word of mouth so this could be another case of a movie having legs and doing well over the long term.

Barbie came in second place with an estimated $21.5 million to bring its domestic gross of $567.3 million. Internationally, the film grossed $54.3 million over the week to bring the international total to $711.9 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $1.279 billion. The film is about $8 million away from being the top grossing domestic release of the year and $76 million away from being the worldwide leader.

Oppenheimer slipped to third place with an estimated $10.6 million. Domestically, the film has grossed $285.2 million. Internationally, the film has grossed $47.8 million to lift that to $432.6 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $717.8 million.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem dropped one spot to come in fourth with $8.4 million. It has now grossed $88.1 million after 3 weeks. Over the week it grossed $16.9 million to bring that to $30.3 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $118.4 million.

The Reyes family just got its first superhero. Blue Beetle comes to theaters August 18.

From Warner Bros. Pictures comes the feature film Blue Beetle, marking the DC Super Hero’s first time on the big screen. The film, directed by Angel Manuel Soto, stars Xolo Maridueña in the title role as well as his alter ego, Jaime Reyes.

Recent college grad Jaime Reyes returns home full of aspirations for his future, only to find that home is not quite as he left it. As he searches to find his purpose in the world, fate intervenes when Jaime unexpectedly finds himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology: the Scarab. When the Scarab suddenly chooses Jaime to be its symbiotic host, he is bestowed with an incredible suit of armor capable of extraordinary and unpredictable powers, forever changing his destiny as he becomes the Super Hero BLUE BEETLE.

Starring alongside Maridueña (“Cobra Kai”) are Adriana Barraza (“Rambo: Last Blood,” “Thor”), Damían Alcázar (“Narcos,” “Narcos: Mexico”), Elpidia Carrillo (“Mayans M.C.,” the “Predator” films), Bruna Marquezine (“Maldivas,” “God Save the King”), Raoul Max Trujillo (the “Sicario” films, “Mayans M.C.”), with Oscar winner Susan Sarandon (“Monarch,” “Dead Man Walking”), and George Lopez (the “Rio and “Smurf” franchises). The film also stars Belissa Escobedo (“American Horror Stories,” “Hocus Pocus 2”) and Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”). Soto (“Charm City Kings,” “The Farm”) directs from a screenplay by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer (“Miss Bala”), based on characters from DC. John Rickard and Zev Foreman are producing, with Walter Hamada, Galen Vaisman and Garrett Grant serving as executive producers.

The director’s creative team behind the scenes includes director of photography Pawel Pogorzelski (“Midsommar,” “Hereditary”), production designer John Billington (“Bad Boys for Life”), editor Craig Alpert (“Deadpool 2,” “The Lost City”), Oscar-nominated costume designer Mayes C. Rubeo (“Jojo Rabbit,” the “Thor” films), visual effects supervisor Kelvin McIlwain (“The Suicide Squad,” “Aquaman”) and composer Bobby Krlic (“Midsommar,” the “Snowpiercer” series).

A Warner Bros. Pictures Presentation, a Safran Company Production, Blue Beetle soars into theaters only internationally beginning August 2023 and in North America August 18, 2023. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
