Barbie
In a few weeks Barbiereleased on July 20 last year, separates only 200 million from the first title on the podium ($1,187,042,188). Given that it was the film with the best marketing campaign of the year (if not glossy), it even managed to color the background of Google Barbie pink (even today, if you look for which theaters to see it in, or information about the plot and cast), not to mention how it revived the sales of the doll of the same name and the Birkenstock dolls (the protagonists of one of the decisive scenes).
Not only that, going far beyond comedy based on the world of games, it also fuels the discussion about patriarchy and feminism, or more generally about finding your own way in the complex world we live in.

Guardians of the Galaxy – Volume 3
The third step of the cash podium already brings us under a billion dollars ($845,472,421) and kind of celebrates the end of the team as we knew it, but in the credits it shows the new team and the head of the old one, leaving hope for a narrative continuum.

Continuation Spiderman: Into a New UniverseOscar-winning animated film starring Miles Morales’ Spider-Man sits in the middle of the world ranking table $684,389,573 (or maybe he deserved a little more attention, because he is dizzy – in a good way – no less and more than the first).

Oppenheimer
Ranked sixth at the 2023 box office, we find the only non-genre drama film without special effects in the entire ranking.
The film about the birth of the atomic bomb, told by Christopher Nolan through the eyes of Cillian Murphy as the scientist who leads the Manhattan Project, has not yet reached our theaters, while in the rest of the world it is the protagonist face to face with Barbie, two titles at the center of a competition – and a collective passion – that have even merged into a new word, Barbenheimer, that describes this unusual duel and period of return to film consumption in its allotted social spaces. Without the contribution of the Italian public, for the moment it has collected $648,122,445.

Mermaid
Well, not really, the result of the release of a live action game dedicated to the Little Mermaid, which revolves “only” around $567,511,814. The audience liked it, but it didn’t lead to all the fans congregating in the halls, perhaps preferring the streaming release.
