The same-day mid-July release of Barbie and Oppenheimer is reportedly frustrating for Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan.
Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan has reportedly expressed irritation at the same-day release of Barbie and Oppenheimer. Nolan's upcoming work centers on J. Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicist who helped create the atomic bomb, while director Greta Gerwig's Barbie follows the famed Mattel doll of the same name.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While months of discourse have taken place on the Internet about the exciting premiere weekend for the two contrasting films, leading to discussions about which to see first and plenty of memes and art, Nolan is reportedly unhappy about the event some are dubbing 'Barbenheimer.
While there is variety between the target audiences of Barbie and Oppenheimer, both films are sure to offer fascinating and relevant social commentary, stunning cinematography, and impressive performances from their respective stars, which has led to hype around both movies. The extra anticipation that has been generated for the films as a joint event thanks to the online discourse is likely to drive attendance to the theater on opening weekend even higher.
In comparison to the glitzy and impressive marketing campaign surrounding Barbie, much of the public has heard more about Gerwig's upcoming film than Nolan's, but thanks to the conflation of the two films, Oppenheimer has also been the subject of plenty of buzz. Of course, only one film will emerge victorious from the shared opening weekend as the highest-grossing, and it is possible that either Oppenheimer or Barbie will suffer due to having to compete with the other.
