Blue Beetle should top the box office chart this weekend, but it’s looking like it’ll mimic the performance of Shazam! Fury of the Gods and come in with something around $30 million on debut—another disappointment for the DC Extended Universe following The Flash’s $55-million opening and $108-million run in June and July. Barbie looks headed to second place this weekend, with Strays back in a pack of movies that will earn something in the $9 million to $10 million range.

Barbie will charge past $500 million at the domestic box office today, and top the box office chart for the 4th consecutive weekend.

Barbie will have no trouble staying at the top of the box office charts this weekend. After cruising past $400 million yesterday (the 9th-fastest film to reach that landmark), it will end the weekend over $450 million domestically still with a long run ahead of it. The battle for second place will be tight though, with Oppenheimer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Meg 2: The Trench all having a legitimate shot at taking the silver medal.
