Why is Barbie so anticipated? It seems like this whole meme was planted by the industry.
I assumed it was Greta Gerwig coming off of two very well received, award winning movies

#34Maybe consumers are starved for anything that doesn't involve a super hero?

Because it looks like a good comedy from a bunch of good comedy writers and actors?
We've drowned in comic book superhero sequels for over a decade now. People are tired of watching the exact same movies with different armor paints

Because of who wrote/directed and is starring in it... as silly as the subject might be on the surface (which makes it interesting because it's super against type for the creative team), chances are it will be an award circuit darling.
I couldn't care less about Barbie as a brand... don't watch Transformers movies or most superhero movies. This one? Looking forward to it. It's going to be peppered with all sorts of weird and interesting cultural critique and humor.

#37If 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

> Join Barbie on the ultimate underwater adventure as she snorkels through three unexplored marine environments on a hunt for priceless treasures of the deep. Along the way, she’ll visit colorful coral reefs and mysterious sunken cities. As Barbie explores the undersea world, she’ll uncover nine unique mini-games that test her puzzle-solving and memory skills. One game will test Barbie’s navigation skills as she helps Sandy the dolphin through a perplexing maze. Another game offers the brain-twisting task of finding matching items under clam shells. When Barbie beats a challenge, she’ll receive part of a key that, when complete, opens a new undersea landscape to explore.

#38I fully intend to watch both! Together with Indy V and Mission Impossible 7, it makes for a fantastic July for movies :D
Back when most movies weren't sequels and reboots, this comment would have been satire.

#39It seems plausible that this is just families going to the movies and then choosing to see different ones?
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.
I think you have a too narrow view of people’s interests.
I would describe the overlap as “people into films that are with a relatively high likelihood interesting”. Given who is directing and who is involved with both of those films that’s a relatively safe bet.
Fast & Furious in a double feature with Trolls. That’s what I would describe as double feature with little overlap. Both films have probably relatively distinct demographics that like them and the films are unlikely to be in any way interesting.

#40The real question is - in which order will you watch them?

> You have to see Oppenheimer first. This is because Barbie lives in the world that Oppenheimer built.
