2023 has brought enormous success to Barbie and Oppenheimer has broken records at the global box office. Earlier title, the Margot Robbie-starring movie shocked everyone by surpassing the $300 million mark in just three days. However, the Cillian Murphy-starring movie is also a pleasant surprise. The two big releases of the week, Barbie and Oppenheimer, seem to have profited from the controversy around Barbenheimer. While Barbie is marginally less remarkable than Oppenheimer at the box office in India, the global numbers show a very different scenario. In more than 70 international nations, according to a number of reports, Barbie has surpassed Oppenheimer.
Barbenheimer – The battle is on!
If you haven’t heard, Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated film “Barbie” is about the most well-known doll in the world. It stars a stellar cast, including Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. “Oppenheimer” is based on the life of Robert Oppenheimer, a physicist who contributed to the creation of the atomic bomb. The film is directed by Christopher Nolan and stars Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, and Matt Damon.
Both movies are being released on the same day, and could not be more different in subject matter and target audience. Some people have praised the double release and bought tickets to both films. This phenomenon has been dubbed “Barbenheimer” on social media.
There will be room for both Barbie and Oppenheimer on the big screen, regardless of how entertaining it would be to put them against one another. But given the current climate of inequality and bitter opposition, a direct comparison between the two offers an intriguing opportunity for a battle of cinematic theories and an examination of what appeals to American viewers the most.
