Or maybe you’re the type of person who’ll do a double-double header: See Barbie first one day, Oppenheimer first the next. Is there a meaning to the order? It’s doubtful most people are lining up to use the serious historical downer as the chaser to the frothy girl power anthem, but then again, maybe Barbie is your perfect brunch movie and Oppenheimer the kind of movie you need several mimosas to cope with. (To some, using “Oppenbarbie” indicates you’re seeing Oppenheimer first while “Barbieheimer” indicates seeing Barbie first, though this distinction has largely been lost in the Barbieheimer noise.) There are whole hot takes about the order in which you should see the films as a unit. Some fans have worried that all the meta-commentary around Barbieheimer has overshadowed each movie’s individual merits. Even AI-generated Barbieheimer fanart captures the zeitgeist. Gerwig and her star, Margot Robbie, have played into it, showcasing their tickets to Oppenheimer, and even Tom Cruise (promoting his own Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One) and Cillian Murphy (who plays Oppenheimer) are on board. Still, fans are so excited that the hype train for “Barbieheimer” has arguably outstripped the two movies individually. Nolan fans, Barbie fans, and cinephiles have made the movies’ opening weekend into an excuse for an unlikely doubleheader - pretty impressive given that Oppenheimer is a grimdark three-hour history lesson about the man responsible for creating nuclear holocaust while Barbie seems to be a giddy, fizzy sugar rush. While some of this is tinged with irony, there’s a genuine enthusiasm for both films fueling the Barbieheimer narrative - so much so that “Barbieheimer” (or “Barbenheimer,” as some have dubbed it) has evolved into an offline phenomenon.
