The one-two punch of Barbie and Oppenheimer — a phenomenon dubbed “Barbenheimer” — was on full display by Friday in a needed boost for moviegoing and the box office, which has yet to recover fully from the pandemic. This will be the first three-day weekend in history when one movie earns $100 million or more and another $50 million or more.
Both Barbie and Oppenheimer were graced with A CinemaScores by Friday audiences in the U.S. And their critics’ scores on Rotten Tomatoes store aren’t far apart; 90 percent versus 93 percent, respectively.
