Confusing title for me. Oppenheimer is related to WW2, so I believed this was about Klaus Barbie [1] instead of the doll.

#42Why is Barbie so anticipated? It seems like this whole meme was planted by the industry.
As a concept I don’t think it’s any sillier than a “LEGO movie,” which was a huge hit with multiple sequels.
It’s all about execution, and the Barbie movie has a promising set of creative people involved.
By the same token, would as many people be excited about an Oppenheimer bio if it wasn’t Chris Nolan in the directors chair? Doubtful.

#43I went to see "Past Lives" (highly recommend) and of all the previews Barbie and Oppenheimer were the two I resolved to see. On separate days, though, I can't imagine doubling these two up. Do people do this to save money?

I'm not doing a "double feature", but I am seeing both opening weekend, which is something I haven't done in a long time.
My local film society got a 35mm print of Oppenheimer, which I have tickets to see opening night. Barbie on the other hand I'm happy seeing on a digital screen closer to home.

I don't think it's any cheaper. In the US (and I assume everywhere?) you need to buy separate tickets. Maybe you end up buying less snacks?

Well respected director, big name actors. Directed at adults.

It's because it's Greta Gerwig's third movie and her first two were both nominated for Best Picture. She's not quite Christopher Nolan yet, but Hollywood is aching for some semblance of the era when people cared about filmmakers and one-off projects by auteurs that were not part of a franchise could get big-time funding and a hot cast.

In our multiplex (US) I could go from theater to theater since the seats aren't assigned but I've never done that, even though I complain about high ticket prices. It's not "legal", of course, but I doubt the bored teenagers would go around hunting down cheaters.

I think it's as simple as "hey, there's a thing going around the Internet, lets do the thing"
