EDINA, Minn. – As writers and actors in Hollywood remain on the picket lines, movie-goers waited in ticket lines this weekend. The release of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" have shattered expectations at the box office this opening weekend. "I heard the movie was a lot about like womanhood and really strong femininity, so I'm super excited to see it," said one movie-goer at Mann Theatres in Edina Sunday. "Barbie" is the biggest movie so far this year at the box office, bringing in $155 million opening weekend.
