“Barbenheimer”: the blockbuster “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” as a double film brought big money
It was a Barbie blockbuster at the box office and Oppenheimer blew himself up too.
Here’s a look at how the Barbenheimer double film made big money!
Ryan Gosling (as Ken): “Hey Barbie!”
Margot Robbie (as Barbie): “Hey Ken!”
Matt Damon (as Leslie Groves): “This is the most important thing that has ever happened in the history of the world.”
You’re right, Matt Damon.
A double summer feature turned a profit over the weekend.
“Barbenheimer” became the fourth largest debut in the history of domestic distribution.
Margot Robbie (as Barbie): “Hey Barbie!”
Emma McKee (as Barbie): “Hey Barbie!”
Issa Rae (as President Barbie): “Hey Barbie!”
Margot Robbie (as Barbie): “Hey Barbie!”
Simu Liu (as Ken): “Hi Barbie!”
Ryan Gosling (as Ken): “Aaaah!”
Margot Robbie (as Barbie): “Hey Ken!”
Simu Liu (as Ken): “Hello Ken!”
But Barbie took gold as the highest grossing film of the year.
He brought in 162 million dollars, which indicates a record amount.
Margot Robbie (as Barbie): “I don’t have any plans. Just a huge party with all the Barbies, planned choreography and a custom song. You must come in.
Margot Robbie plays the iconic doll who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement.
Greta Gerwig wrote and directed the film.
Greta Gerwig: “I just wanted to make a movie that hugs people and says, ‘You’re worthy, you’re fine!’ Because I think there are so many things that people just berate themselves for having unattainable standards.”
Cillian Murphy (as J. Robert Oppenheimer): “And they won’t get it.”
Christopher Nolan’s biopic Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, came in second.
Christopher Nolan: “This is just one of the great stories, and so I tried to use it and let the audience feel what it’s like to be Oppenheimer when he went through all these crazy events.”
The Imax epic earned $82.4 million.
Cillian Murphy (as J. Robert Oppenheimer): “It’s a matter of life and death. I can perform this miracle.”
Both films were already highly anticipated individually, but when “Barbenheimer” took off on social media, the hype reached a fever pitch, helping them collectively gross over $500 million worldwide.
Cillian Murphy (as J. Robert Oppenheimer): “What’s next?”
Director Greta Gerwig has broken the opening weekend female director record, and Barbie is only her third feature film.
