The blockbuster turnout signaled that Hollywood has finally bounced back from the pandemic. All told, North American multiplexes had their biggest weekend since "Avengers: Endgame" arrived in April 2019. "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" powered the domestic box office to about $302 million in total weekend ticket sales, with films such as "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" and "Sound of Freedom" contributing to the balance.
