As Boehle pointed out, when one movie opens at over $100 million in a weekend, the next best-performing film typically doesn't even come close.

Barbenheimer isn't the biggest top two of all time, but it's worth noting that weekends that beat it typically have one movie that pretty much carries the number on its own — the record-breaking Avengers: Endgamesinglehandedly raking in over $350 million in its opening weekend; the total gross for all movies that weekend was over $400 million.

In terms of other records set, Greta Gerwig's Barbienow has the biggest opening weekend of all time for a female director, just sneaking ahead of Anna Boden's Captain Marvel, which made $153 million in its debut weekend in 2019.
