The battle of the summer is officially on.
When the release dates for Barbie and Oppenheimer were released, the moviegoing world went into a frenzy. They were to be released on the same day. The day that blockbusters clash has become a phenomenon known as Barbenheimer. While there is a stark contrast in tones, color palettes, budgets, marketing, and target audience, the outpour of memes, fan art, and apparel of the two movies merged has become the fuel to many cinema lovers’ day-to-day life.
The chaos of what movie you should choose became a topic that died quickly because many fans realized they could do something that they haven’t done in a long time: a double feature.
I am one of those people who bought tickets opening day tickets for Barbie and Oppenheimer as soon as my AMC app notified me that they were on sale. But I’m not the only person who is partaking in this summer’s most explosive, emotionally challenging double feature.
