Key Highlight
  • Barbie has sold 17,000 tickets for the opening day in 3 national chains, 4 days prior to release.
  • Barbie is set to take the 2nd biggest global start of 2023, despite a direct clash with Oppenheimer.
  • Barbie releases in theatres on the 21st of July, 2023.

21st July is a date everyone is looking forward to, since its the day Barbie and Oppenheimer release in theatres. Both the films are highly anticipated by moviegoers and the same can be seen in the advance bookings. Margot Robbie fronted Barbie's advance bookings began just last weekend and it has already managed to sell around 17,000 tickets in top 3 national chains in India for the opening day and around 40,000 tickets for the opening weekend as at 4pm IST on 17th July, 2023. These numbers are lower than Barbie's box office rival Oppenheimer but it leads on a global basis by a significant margin.

 

Barbie Has Sold Around 17,000 Tickets In Top 3 National Chains In India For The Opening Day And Around 40,000 Tickets For The Opening Weekend

Barbie's advance bookings in India have begun on a delightful note. The 17,000 odd tickets in 3 national chains are almost 4 days prior to its release on the 21st of July, 2023. Of the sold tickets in top national chains, PVR has contributed around 13,000 tickets while Inox and Cinepolis have managed around 2,000 tickets a piece. The numbers coming in suggest that an opening of over Rs 4 crores nett is certainly on in India, something one wouldn't have expected seeing the Oppenheimer onslaught. On a global basis, Barbie is clearly the most preferred movie choice worldwide for the coming weekend. It is set to be the 2nd biggest global opener of the year, only behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
