One of the year’s most positive box office tales was Christopher Nolan’s biopic of J. Robert Oppenheimer. The 3-hour duration, R-rated status, and biographical emphasis of Oppenheimer’s financial outlook gave plenty of grounds for scepticism.

When Nintendo and Illumination announced that they would be working together on an animated Mario film, expectations were high. When the movie first came out, it quickly reached that milestone, but months later, another huge performer took it over. Nevertheless, the $1.3 billion box office receipts for The Super Mario Bros. Movie are pretty amazing.

Barbie was the highest-grossing film at the box office in 2023. Warner Bros. paired director Greta Gerwig with actress Margot Robbie to produce the first live-action film based on the beloved Mattel toy. Barbie’s likely assured baseline of success was aided by the critical acclaim and Oscar’s potential.
