'Oppenheimer' Tops 2023, Marvel and DC Stumble

Zendaya's Star Power Delays Movies, 'Indiana Jones' Fails to Impress

Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' is hailed as the best movie of 2023, with its morally complex subject matter and box office success of $950 million.
Marvel Studios, once a sure thing in Hollywood, began to underperform with movies like 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' and 'The Marvels'.
DC's comic-book films of 2023, including 'Shazam! Fury of the Gods', 'The Flash', and 'Blue Beetle', were financial failures.
Zendaya's star power is so significant that two of her movies, 'Dune: Part 2' and 'Challengers', were delayed a year due to strikes so she could promote them.
The nostalgic 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny', starring an 81-year-old Harrison Ford, was a significant box office failure.
