Two highly anticipated movies from Hollywood are scheduled to release on the same day. While Christopher Nolan is preparing to unveil his latest project, Oppenheimer, director Greta Gerwig promises to transport audiences into the vibrant and imaginative plastic realm of Barbie. Both movies are set to release in theaters on July 21.
The buzz around the upcoming films is so high that fans have coined the term #Barbenheimer. The term likely originated from the fact that Christopher Nolan, who had a long-standing association with Warner Bros., departed from the studio to embark on his new project, Oppenheimer, which will be produced by Universal. As Barbie is being produced by Warner Bros., this created a sense of rivalry or clash between the two studio giants.
