Gran Turismo has raced to a first-place finish in its debut as it won the domestic weekend box office with ticket sales of $17.3 million, which was just enough to hold off Barbie's $17.1 million.
As reported by Comscore, Gran Turismo brought in another $11 million internationally to bring its overseas total to $36.5 million. Globally, Gran Turismo has crossed $53.8 million.
In our Gran Turismo review, we said, "This adaptation of the best-selling PlayStation franchise is fun enough, when it's not trying to sell you a video game you probably already own."
Barbie, as we mentioned, placed second in its sixth weekend in theaters with ticket sales reaching $17.1 million. Its global total has skyrocketed to $1.34 billion and it is shortly expected to surpass Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 as Warner Bros.' highest-grossing global release in history.
Blue Beetle placed third in its second weekend with ticket sales of $12.76 million, which is 49% drop week-over-week. Globally, the latest DC film has earned $81.8 million.
Oppenheimer and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem rounded out the top five with $9 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Oppenheimer's global cume is $777.19 million and TMNT: Mutant Mayhem's is $135.14 million
