HTML tags have been removed for the sake of clarity.

“Barbie” has become the ultimate party for moviegoers, claiming the top spot at the box office with an impressive $70.5 million in sales during its first two days. Despite being criticized by The Post as a “self-absorbed and overwrought disappointment,” this Greta Gerwig-directed comedy managed to earn $22.2 million from preview ticket sales on Thursday, followed by an additional $48.2 million during its Friday premiere on over 4,200 screens according to IMDB’s Box Office Mojo.

In second place, we have director Christopher Nolan’s biopic “Oppenheimer,” which explores the life of the renowned developer of the atom bomb. This film exploded into the number two spot, generating $33 million in opening day sales, including $10.5 million from Thursday previews. Starring Cillian Murphy as scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer, this historical drama has been praised by The Post as “that rarest of things: a sophisticated and invigorating movie designed for adults, enticing viewers away from streaming platforms.”

Taking a slight dip to third place, “Sound of Freedom” earned just over $5.7 million at the box office this week. Starring Cillian Murphy as J.

Last week’s box office champion, “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” featuring Tom Cruise as the esteemed Impossible Mission Force agent Ethan Hunt, slides to the fourth position this week with $5.56 million in sales. The supernatural horror film “Insidious: The Red Door” takes fifth place, earning just under $2.1 million, slipping from its third-place ranking from the previous week.
