$104.6M
Making more in its 17th day than Dead Reckoning made in its 9th despite playing in 1,062 fewer theaters
Disney shelved it. Netflix ain't want it. Amazon might not have even answered the producer's call.
Will you not think of the children, FlyRy?
Think of all the good this movie is doing for them

Barbie and Oppenheimer Go Nuclear: Weekend Box Office Results (Jul. 21-23)
It's a Barbie cinematic world we living in right now and it's fantastic. Its $155M is the biggest opening weekend of the year, beating Mario and his $146.3M. It's $70.8 million opening Friday is the 24th highest of all time, just slipping past Thor: Love and Thunder's $69.5M. speaking of Thor Love and Thunder, it had held the 5th biggest July weekend ever with its $144.1 million opening last year. It's now 6th thanks to Barbie.
Doesn't look like it's going anywhere either. It should have staying power with its A CinemaScore. I mean, it's damn near outgrossed Transformers: Rise of the Beasts' $155.6M, which took 7 weeks to get to. It truly is a Barbie world.
Now we get to Oppenheimer, which blew with $80.5M. That's more than Tenet and Dunkirk's combined opening weekends of $70.5 million. The covid-addled Tenet made $58.5 million in its entire run. Oppenheimer left that in the atomic dust.
I wanted to go see this in IMAX 70 mm 15 perf. The closest theater is in Providence which is like an hour and 20 minutes from where I live, so I might have to catch it in IMAX Laser. 
So Great numbers for Nolan. That is a win for him individually. That's shades of Bill Belichick pushing Tom Brady out the door and watching him win the Super Bowl in Tampa while he took a 12-4 team and turned it into a 7-9 losing operation who missed the playoffs.
so Nolan is Tom Brady in this analogy and Belichick would be Warner Bros. who f***** up by letting Nolan go to Universal. Except that Warner Bros. released Barbie which damn near doubled up Oppenheimer so it really ain't the same. Warner Bros. >>>>>> Bill Belichick. And Oppenheimer has the IMAX runway for another 2 weeks. It ain't going nowhere and it's A CinemaScore will also help with that. That was a return to form for Nolan, whose John David Washington starring Tenet got a B.
So that takes care of Barbenheimer. Surely Mission: Impossible would be next, right?
Thanks to astroturfing like the green screen behind Charlie Murphy, Sound of Freedom continues its improbable run with another $20.1 million weekend. That makes $124.7 million in the donation plate. Scan the QR Code and save a child's life.
Save the Children! Save the Children! Save the Children! I'm sorry your pops turned out to be a diddler, @RennisDeynolds
Falling from 1st to 4th was M:I - Dead Reckoning, with $19.5M. Unbelievable. That was an MCU level 64.3% drop.
Fallout never had a drop of more than 51%. It only fell by 42% in its second weekend. It did $19.3M in its 3rd weekend.
The Entity is still putting work in overseas which has the running total up to $370.8M globally. And I loved it. It was pure piff. Lorne Balfe really stepped it up with the score, too. Barbenheimer got this falling off a cliff.
Indy 5 rounds out the top-5 with $6.7M. It's in a battle with Insidious: The Red Door which posted $6.5M. That makes $159M after 4 weeks. Another movie damn near outgrossed by Barbie. Barbie telling Indy and Optimus Prime "I sold with your whole album sold in my first week."
Notables
Insidious: The Red Door crosses the $70 million dollar mark and the $150 mark globally with $155.8M.
Transformers: Rise of the Beats is sitting on $427.1M worldwide. Can it pass Bumblebee's $465.1M?

Do the theaters/studios actually know how many tickets were actually used versus purchased though?

Oh I guarantee they do. They know how many were admitted in the theater when the ticket taker scans your ticket / phone.
It's no different than a sporting event. I remember years ago, the Red Sox would announce their sellout streak during every home game. And you would look around like
there's two thousand empty seats. Y'all ain't let 37,000 people through the gates. But all those games were sold out, technically. Some people weren't tryna fight Boston traffic at 6:30 to go see a mediocre Sox team play on a Wednesday night.And so the Red Sox ended up with all the ticket revenue and got to say we've sold out 820 games in a row despite their being 7,000 empty seats. And now Angel Studios can do the same.
