"Barbenheimer" took off as an internet meme and a fun double-feature idea. But the "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie" showdown is tinged with drama.
You're viewing a single thread.
@Odusei He's got good reason to be. Barbie will negatively impact Oppenheimer's opening weekend, not to mention Mission : Impossible won't be doing Nolan any favors either.
Really? I feel like Barbenheimer is going to help it. Having a heavy drama around the Manhattan project just doesn't feel like the Midsummer success Nolan believes. Drop that when the weather cools off.
@Timn I think what Nolan doesn't understand is how adult moviegoers have changed. Prestige highbrow films by Auteurs are on TV now. The movies dominating the cineplexes are cinematic carnival rides overloaded with CGI, fifteen minute fight sequences and explosions.
Maybe so... but, I can't wait to see that full 70mm IMAX atom bomb blow out!
