'Barbie' is facing off against 'Oppenheimer' next summer, as the Greta Gerwig film sets its release date.
In what is surely a case of Warner Bros. having their cake and eating it too, they have slated a release date for Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie's Barbie film for the same day as Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer — July 21, 2023. The release date was announced during the Warner Bros. panel at CinemaCon. These are two massive pictures from major studios, and it is a smart move of counter-programming on Warner Brothers' part.
July 21, 2023, is turning into a big day for Warner Bros., as they also have a second film with that current release in Coyote vs. Acme. The Looney Tunes-based film has been in development for some time now and recently made some headway by casting John Cena, Lana Condor, and Will Forte. Dave Green will be directing the project. Given the lengthy amount of CGI that will need to be deployed for Coyote vs. Acme, it's likely the biggest target to move off of this date if necessary.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Plot details for Barbie are mum at the moment, though with the sheer bulk and talent levels of the cast, a very fun and bold film is likely in store. Robbie stars alongside Ryan Gosling as Ken, America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Michael Cera, Issa Rae, and Will Ferrell as the CEO of a Mattel-like toy company. Gerwig, who was attached to write the film since July 2019, signed on to direct this past summer.
