The Barbie and Oppenheimer discussion has been going around a lot lately. While memes have flooded the internet with their content, some even argue about shifting dates for the release. The internet seems to be divided when it comes to this topic. What would the possible result be?
Both movies are directed by Oscar-winning directors, Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan. The cast of both movies is also highly acclaimed with renowned stars starring in these blockbusters.
Who is likely to win this duel: Barbie or Oppenheimer?
- Initially, Christopher Nolan had a good command over the summer release and Oppenheimer’s trailer was doing good. Cillian Murphy’s with his immaculate skills as an actor have done justice to the role of Oppenheimer.
- Nolan is already well known for his Dark Knight trilogy and other blockbusters like Interstellar, Inception, Memento, etc. Oppenheimer has therefore been a much-anticipated film for Nolan’s fans worldwide.
- Nolan’s Oppenheimer can therefore be considered a major competition for any other summer releases, as a large audience has waited for a considerably long period for this release.
- When we talk about Barbie, the argument is much different. It is the first Barbie adaptation that is going to be a live-action comedy.
- The vibrant colors of the trailer have attracted a lot of audiences already. Moreover, Greta Gerwig is well-known for her portrayal of women in her movies. This gives her an upper hand against Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
- Apart from that, Gerwig is competing against a partially black-and-white storyline with one of hers which is filled with joyful colors.
Which Brand will win: Barbie or Nolan?
- Christopher Nolan has directed some of the greatest Hollywood movies. He is a master at his art and truly knows how to create art in acting. The genesis of his movies started with Memento (2000), which marked the beginning of a complex style of storytelling.
- He was known for his nonlinear narration of stories and the added complexities of understanding. Nolan quickly became a known name due to his crafty intellect in films and so we expect that Oppenheimer will live up to those standards.
- Barbie on the other hand has been a well-known name for over six decades. The household name is sure to bring a wave of excitement amongst fans and followers. ‘
- The live-action adaptation of an animated movie series and a household play doll is sure to bring in a tidal change in the course of the industry. With this in mind, we can expect that Barbie will be preferred above Oppenheimer when it comes to the brand popularity of both.
Will the dates shift or will the face-off happen?
- Barbie and Oppenheimer will likely release on the same dates. The face-off is a strong possibility, although rumors suggest otherwise. The shifting of dates would be justified as it would divide the audience tremendously. Not only would it affect both of the movies’ collections, but it would also affect the audience’s psychology.
- The difference in tones in both films would also be a serious obstacle in their course. But all in all, we can expect that a showdown will happen on the 21st of July this summer.
Conclusion
A possible shift in dates is a probability, but these are only rumors and audience uproars. The official sources are yet to release anything on the same. But whatever may be, the showdown between these two great filmmakers will surely lead to a huge hit in the history of cinema.
