The films *Barbie* and *Oppenheimer*, two films of different genres, were released on the same day. The high anticipation for both films even spawned the "Barbenheimer" phenomenon on social media.

According to The Numbers, director Greta Gerwig's *Barbie* recorded higher domestic (North American) box office gross revenue than *Oppenheimer*.

On its opening day, *Barbie* grossed US$70.8 million, or approximately Rp1.06 trillion (assuming Rp15,027 per US$).

The *Barbie* live-action film, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, tells the story of Barbie and Ken's lives in the perfect artificial world of Barbie Land.

One day, Barbie, feeling a loss of identity, leaves Barbie Land to adventure into the real world with Ken.

Meanwhile, the biographical film *Oppenheimer* had lower box office revenue, grossing US$33.08 million, or approximately Rp497.9 billion on its opening day domestically (United States).

Director Christopher Nolan's film has a longer duration, at 3 hours, and tells the story of the scientist who created the atomic bomb.

Both *Barbie* and *Oppenheimer* received positive reviews from film critics. *Oppenheimer* even received a 94% score from Rotten Tomatoes.

So, why did *Oppenheimer* appear to underperform compared to *Barbie*?

According to Collider, *Oppenheimer* had fewer showtimes due to its longer running time.

"Furthermore, its more mature theme than *Barbie*'s targets a more specific audience segment. This is quite understandable," wrote Collider columnist Christopher McPherson, as reported by Collider on Saturday, July 22, 2023.
