This year’s summer releases Oppenheimer and Barbie couldn’t be more different from each other. You're seeing one about the creation of the atomic bomb and another about a Barbie girl in a Barbie world. But one thing they both have in common is their July 21st release date. Matt Damon, who's part of Oppenheimer’s stacked cast, is going viral for his opinion on Oppenheimer vs. Barbie. And I hope all it plays out just as he said, with both projects being a success.
With Barbie and Oppenheimer coming out on July 21st, there's going to be competition between two very different projects. When those on the internet put two and two together and weighed their thoughts on the same-day opening, they felt it’s like asking if you’re going into the theater prepared to feel glam and fabulous or ready to see an explosion (so to speak) of facts about the infamous Manhattan Project. With Oppenheimer’s Matt Damon playing the director of the Manhattan Project, he weighed in with Vanity Fair on his honest feelings about these two movies playing on the same weekend.
