It seems “Barbenheimer” is more than just an online joke.
Barbie and Oppenheimer may not sound like an obvious pairing on paper.
Keep in mind: This is just one theater chain, so the numbers are obviously higher.
Obviously, not everyone will see both films.
As such,early tracking points to Barbie possibly doubling up Oppenheimer at the box officeopening weekend.
At one point, there were rumors that Barbenheimer wouldn’t even be possible.
There were talks earlier this year that Oppenheimer would be delayed, but that wasn’t the case.
Barbie stars Margot Robbie as the iconic doll alongside Ryan Gosling as Ken.
Meanwhile, Cillian Murphy stars as the titular character in Oppenheimer, from filmmaker Christopher Nolan.
