It seems plausible that this is just families going to the movies and then choosing to see different ones?

I'm sure there's at least some but barbieheimer has been a meme since the first dates got announced so I think it's pretty safe to say that a lot of it is people seeing both. My local theater even has the posters right next to each other.
My fiance and 10 of our friends already got tickets to both and can't wait. We're seeing Oppenheimer first, then a quick break for smoking weed, then back in for barbie

#13The real question is - in which order will you watch them?
Clearly Barbie second.

This is my thought. I have to believe there’s a solid inverse relationship of interest. But everyone is interested in one of them. Parents/kids or men/women seem like sensible cohorts for Oppenheimer/Barbie.
Would be interesting to see the data and if showtimes overlap. Or if it’s truly back to back.

#15The amount of marketing money that gets pumped into promotion for these two is impressive, apparently the movie industry is hurting more than I knew.

Chronologically.

Are you loading up pre-oppenheimer also, is the question this leaves me with.

#18If there's a better metaphor for 2023 I don't know what it would be. Something involving submersibles... Yeah, no, I'm going to go with Barbenheimer.
Was there a Barbie submersible bath tub toy? If not, they should make one. They can make it a companion to the Barbie yacht. You can even put a back story that she bought it from an auction from a sanctioned russian oligarch

My girlfriend and housemates are also all going, Oppenheimer in the morning. Break, eating brunch, then seeing Barbie in the afternoon.

#20Reminds me of the Studio Ghibli double feature back in 1988, "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Grave of the Fireflies". https://www.tor.com/2017/06/07/studio-ghibli-shows-their-ran...
God, talk about emotional whiplash.
I have this policy of never watching two different animes on the same day (to gave it time for it to "settle") but I broke this rule after watching Angel's egg. The atmosphere in that movie was so dark I decided I need to watch something colorful and light so I watched Ponyo, but I was still under the influence of the Angel's egg and I came up with alternative explanation of Ponyo where everybody dies (sea fish dies when it is put in a bucket of fresh water, kids dies in flood and go through the "tunnel" to the "other side" where everybody else is already waiting)
