Amblin’s Dracula pic ‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’ is on course for a domestic opening of just $6.5 million



Gerwig now ranks as the highest-grossing female director of all time domestically after skating past Frozen II, which was helmed by Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck. Gerwig is also celebrating becoming the highest-grossing female director of a live-action movie at the worldwide box office as Barbie passes up Marvel Studios’ 2019 superhero pic Captain Marvel. Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the Brie Larson starrer grossed $1.13 billion worldwide in 2019.
Universal’s Oppenheimer, directed by Chris Nolan, also continues to impress, zooming past the $600 million mark at the worldwide box office on Thursday.The biographical drama about the making of the atomic bomb is expected to earn another $17 million at the domestic box office this weekend for a domestic total north of $262 million through Sunday.
Both Barbie and Oppenheimer are falling a scant 41 percent in their fourth weekends as they continue to dominate the upper reaches of the chart.
Paramount’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is overtaking Meg 2: The Trench to come in No. 3 during its second weekend with a projected gross of $14.6 million for a domestic total of $72 million through Sunday. The film’s decline is a respectable 48 percent.
Meg 2 is falling around 60 percent to a projected $12.3 million. The shark pic’s domestic tally should hover around $53 million through Sunday, notably behind the first film at the same point in that movie’s run.
