\n It had to happ<\/a>en sometime. After ruling the box office roost for four weekends, Barbie<\/em> is falling to second place as DC\u2019s superhero pic Blue Beetle<\/em> takes the top spot. <\/p>\n

\n Blue Beetle<\/em> is on course to open to $25 million to $27 million in North America after earning $10 million Friday, including $3.3 million in previews. It remains to be seen what impact the looming hurricane has on grosses in Los Angeles, the movie\u2019s top market, and other parts of the area. <\/p>\n

\n It\u2019s understandable why the superhero pic may be feeling a little blue. Not only is Blue Beetle <\/em>coming in behind expectations \u2014 heading into the weekend, tracking had suggested $28 million to $32 million \u2014 but also it is looking at one of the lowest openings ever for a title in the DC Extended Universe, not adjusted for inflation.<\/p>\n

\n Director \u00c1ngel Manuel Soto\u2019s Blue Beetle<\/em> is Hollywood\u2019s first live-action superhero film built around a Latino protagonist and hopes to be a breakthrough movie for Latino audiences and for Latino representation in front of and behind the camera. Xolo Maridue\u00f1a stars in the titular role opposite Adriana Barraza, Dam\u00edan Alc\u00e1zar, Raoul Max Trujillo, Susan Sarandon, George Lopez, Elpidia Carrillo, Bruna Marquezine, Belissa Escobedo, Harvey Guill\u00e9n and Becky G. <\/p>\n

\n According to exit polling service PostTrak, 40 percent of Friday\u2019s ticket buyers were Latino (usually, it might be 30 percent).<\/p>\n

\n Blue Beetle<\/em>\u2018s release has been hampered by the SAG-AFTRA strike, which means Soto\u2019s cast couldn\u2019t participate in the publicity tour. In terms of audience reaction and demo breakdowns, it earned a B+ CinemaScore, and played heavily male (66 percent). <\/p>\n

\n Barbie<\/em> is looking at a fifth-weekend gross of $20 million to $21 million or more in North America, followed by Christopher Nolan\u2019s Oppenheimer<\/em> in third place with $11 million. From Universal, Oppenheimer<\/em> will achieve another major milestone this weekend when clearing the $700 million mark globally to become Nolan\u2019s fourth-biggest film ever. <\/p>\n

\n Universal\u2019s raunchy canine comedy Strays<\/em><\/a> is pacing to open to a bark-less $8.5 million, putting the pic in a close battle with Paramount\u2019s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem<\/em> for fourth place.<\/p>\n

\n Strays<\/em>, which likewise earned a B+ CinemaScore, is the latest in a string of R-rated summer comedies to fall flat at the box office. The star-packed voice cast includes Will Ferrell, Jamie Foxx, Isla Fisher, Randall Park and Josh Gad. Similar to Blue Beetle<\/em>, the pic hasn\u2019t been able to include the voice cast in publicity plans.<\/p>\n

\n Numbers will be updated Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
