Box Office Success: ‘Barbenheimer’ Reignites the Cinema Industry

Although the box office figures are still far from the pre-pandemic era, the truth is that this summer the phenomenon ‘Barbenheimer’, the coincidence of two premieres as powerful as ‘Barbie‘ y ‘Oppenheimer‘ released at the same time, is greening up old laurels.

A renewed enthusiasm that has been echoed Francis Ford Coppola. The director of the trilogy of ‘The Godfather’, ‘Apocalypse Now’ or ‘Dracula’, who shared his thoughts on his Instagram stories, assuring that the 1,000 million dollars that both films have raised in just over a week, which is not are neither sequels nor prequels, in theaters they are “a victory for cinema” that places it at the gates of “a new golden age”.

“I’ve yet to see them. But the fact that audiences are packing big theaters to see them and that they’re neither sequels nor prequels, with no number behind them, which means they’re true one-offs, it is a victory for the cinema“, says Coppola in his statement.

A publication on social networks in which the legendary filmmaker goes further in his enthusiasm: “I have a feeling that we are about to enter a new a golden age. Wonderful and illuminating cinema to be seen on the big screen.”

Since its theatrical release on July 20, ‘Barbie’ has grossed more than $774 million at the box office. The film directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie devastates the also very good box office performance of ‘Oppenheimer’, the Christopher Nolan film that exceeds the not inconsiderable figure of 400 million dollars. In total, the ‘Barbenheimer’ has raised almost 1,200 million dollars after two weekends on the billboard.
