Together, they reportedly accounted for 79% of all tickets sold that weekend, with around 18.5 million people heading to cinemas.⁠ ⁠ The films went on to earn more than $2.4 billion combined worldwide, proving that audiences really would watch a bright-pink comedy and a three-hour historical drama back-to-back.⁠ ⁠ #movies #barbenheimer #ladbible
