Two newly released films are expected to dominate the box office this weekend: Barbie and Oppenheimer. But some local theaters operators say they also have some concern about the actors' strike and its effect on movie-going this summer.
Cultural influencers are calling this weekend Barbenheimer, combining both movie titles. There’s Oscar buzz about both Barbie and Oppenheimer, but Thursday night people were wearing lots of pink, and it’s all about Barbie.
"Oppenheimer is expected to be a huge Oscar film. Barbie is a fun film, it’s nostalgic and it really a lot of women and their daughters. It’s that connection," Young said. "I don’t know how it’s going to impact us at this moment. I haven’t fully researched that, but that would be the worry with what happens with the strike. Currently, right now, it’s going good," said Jeremy Duke, Pruneyard Cinemas General Manager.
