Live Poll: Face-Off: 'Barbie' vs. 'Oppenheimer' Prediction

Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' and Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' are both released in theatres in the United States on July 21, 2023. 'Barbie' is released by Warner Bros. while 'Oppenheimer' is from Universal Pictures – and Nolan's first film not released by Warner in more than twenty years.

Which film do you think will do the best at the box office?

@Peter_pbn,

I would like to immediately dismiss 'Barbie', but with the casting and Greta Gerwig directing, I don't think I can.

I assume a "too close to call" option is out of the question?

FYI, it looks like both films share the same estimated budgets too and are projected to finish within 10% of each other in final worldwide box office and then flip positions in final domestic box office tally. You might want to clarify if you are referring to North American (domestic) or worldwide ticket sales in your question, as it makes a difference. I agree with the industry numbers that Barbie has more domestic appeal, while Oppenheimer has more global appeal.

FYC, 

Which film do you think will do the best at the worldwide box office?

I think Barbie will work better. The public is larger. It will draw in theaters the creepy internet losers who have a crush on Margot Robbie since The Wolf of Wallstreet, the cinephiles who like Greta Gerwig's career, the women who grew up with Barbie, the young girls who are in love with Barbie (their father, their mother, their grandmother, their grandfather, and their older brother who does not want to be there.)

Meanwhile, for Oppenheimer, the public is Nolanites and that is about it.

@Peter_pbn​ 

Of course, they did not vote with logic, they voted for the film they wanted to see the most. Oppenheimer must appeal more strongly to adults, but children are a major demographic. In fact, I am surprised by Oppenheimer's box office numbers. But, I guess that the "Barbenheimer" rivalry gave a boost to its box office.
