17 Barbenheimer Box Office Records & Incredible Achievements After Barbie & Oppenheimer’s Opening

Barbie and Oppenheimer‘s July 21 release date fueled heated debates online about which would win the box office, and while one movie out-grossed the other, they’re both champions given all the records they collectively achieved. The two movies couldn’t be any more different, as one is a comedy about a toy doll and has a color pallet that’s 50 shades of pink, and the other is a bleak biopic about the inventor of the atomic bomb. Both come from visionary directors, too. Oppenheimer is by Christopher Nolan, who makes movies on an epic scale and pushes the boundaries of cinema, and Barbie is directed by profound filmmaker Greta Gerwig.
