'Barbie' has legs: Greta Gerwig's film tops the box office again and surpasses $500 million in North America

The second half of the "Barbenheimer" duo, "Oppenheimer," returned to the No. 2 spot in its own fourth week after a week at No. 3 overall. The Christopher Nolan-directed film from Universal Pictures brought in $18.8 million from 3,761 locations for an overall domestic total of $264.3 million.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem," in its second week, earned $15.6 million domestically for third place, and the Jason Statham shark sequel, "Meg 2: The Trench," brought in $12.7 million, dropping from second to fifth in its second week in theatres. The sustained performance of the Mattel movie continues to flip the script on what had been a weak year in theatres, with major sequels underperforming including "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" and "Mission: Impossible -- Dead Reckoning Part I," which remained in the top 10 this week with $4.7 million.

The midsummer "Barbenheimer" put the industry-wide summer total ahead of 2022. It was lagging behind just a month ago.
