Yeah but Margot came over to your house made up like Barbie and told you to take her, take her now, take her often, take her hard, I doubt any of you (both male and female) will say NO.

Go to https://www.google.com/ and enter Barbie.

A Google website maker must be a Barbie fan.

If you are using a smart phone, make sure you don't have your Display set to Dark. Set it back to default White first.

Oppenheimer only plays in IMAX for 3 weeks. I look at the IMAX shows here and every showing between today and the end of the IMAX period, 8/17, are sold out. Incredible!

Including the tickets that have already been purchased for today's showings, because now theaters are using advance ticket sales and no longer need to wait until Monday or Tuesday to tally the box office sales results,

here are the box office tallies for Wednesday to today:

Barbie $155 million domestic, $182 million in 70 foreign markets = $337 million total against a $145 million production budget

Barbie is also the biggest domestic debut for a movie directed by a woman surpassing Wonder Woman 2017 ($103 million domestic opening)

Oppenheimer $80.5 million domestic which surpassed the original industry prediction of $52-72 million, $93.7 million in 78 foreign markets = $174.2 million total against a $100 million production budget.



I still have to wait until August 4th before I can watch Oppenheimer in IMAX 70 mm.

That's the earliest date I could get tickets.

Also social media and internet pushing July 21st weekend as Barbieheimer/Barbenheimer dual movie release date event helped.

There are online reviews by folks who saw both movies in the same day and I have also seen dozens of Tik Tok videos posted by folks who made Barbie and Oppenheimer a double feature.
