If there is one person who had to experience the duel between the two big films of the summer in a very special way, it is this woman who is (really) called… Barbie Oppenheimer.
With 1.344 billion dollars worldwide to date, Barbie is already the biggest success of the year in cinema. And Warner’s History Champion, ahead of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.
A phenomenon that could have an impact on future births, while the direct competitor of Greta Gerwig’s film, Oppenheimer, never ceases to surprise and could end its race around 950 million dollars in revenue.
Barbenheimer was therefore the hit of the summer in world cinemas, and a woman experienced it in a very personal way, since her name is Barbara Oppenheimer. So Barbie Oppenheimer.
And it is all the more unusual that her surname is that of her husband, whose father is none other than the third cousin of the physicist, inventor of the atomic bomb, whose Christopher Nolan tells the story.
What a brilliant idea to launch them at the same time. It really brought people back to theaters
This is what the main interested party reveals to Slatein addition to telling how she lived this very special summer: “College friends all over the world were texting me on release weekend. [des deux films]”she explains. “With these montages around ‘the bomb and the bomb’ It was funny. What a brilliant idea to launch them at the same time. It really brought people back to the theaters.”
Including her and her husband, who first went to see Oppenheimer, for family reasons. Before discovering Barbie two weeks later, with pleasure: “I wasn’t sure my husband would like [le film]but he laughed from beginning to end.”
