People keep talking about the Barbie movie.

This can be somewhat explained by the Easter egg that Google imagined (look for “Barbie” to see what happens), but primarily by the fact that the movie should perform far better at the box office than anticipated.

In fact, Warner Bros. and AMC Theaters claim that Barbie will outperform Oppenheimer, whose release is scheduled for the same day.

Barbie et Oppenheimer are mentioned together in the same breath because they both release on July 21 and their production cost more than $100 million, yet their two films couldn’t be more different from one another.

The issue with Barbie, and presumably the reason why people already admire her, is that the movie doesn’t try to alter the course of history.

It’s not two hours (really, it’s one hour and forty-four minutes) of introspective psychology, but rather a lighthearted diversion.

And as the recent resounding success of Top Gun: Maverick has demonstrated, it’s precisely what people want to see: a fun movie that they can watch while eating popcorn.

Barbie is a character that has appeared in over 40 films, although she is unique.

First of all, despite the fact that most of Barbie’s films have been computer animated up until now, this one featured Hollywood celebrities in leading roles.

Second, the movie was filmed on a hefty budget of 145 million dollars.

When marketing expenses are added, the total price comes to more over $300 million dollars.

It’s not nothing, even by Warner Bros.’s standards.

The movie primarily stars Ryan Gosling as Ken and Margot Robbie as Barbie, but they also feature a vast array of well-known faces.

Various Barbie and Ken versions will be portrayed by actors like Dua Lipa, Simu Liu, and John Cena, among others.

Will Ferrell also plays the PDG of Mattel, the company that makes Barbie dolls.

Barbie is expected to earn up to 125 million dollars over the course of its opening weekend in more than 4,200 theaters.

The AMC theaters have announced that they have already sold 40,000 AMC Stub tickets for Barbie and Oppenheimer.

Recall that an AMC Stub is a special ticket reserved for AMC members alone, offering a few benefits at a higher price than a regular ticket.

Following the film’s advance screening at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles—the same location as the advance screening of Dead Reckoning—103 film critics have written their opinions.

The movie now has an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

What does Oppenheimer stand for?

The same budget and release date as Barbie, but a whole different story.

Oppenheimer tells the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicist who helped develop the first nuclear weapon.

In it, Cillian Murphy plays Oppenheimer, while Emily Blunt plays his wife, Kitty Oppenheimer.

It also casts Matt Damon, Gary Oldman, Rami Malek, Casey Affleck, and Robert Downey Jr. in a negative light.

Que le film le meilleur kind.
