"AMC Theatres Reports Record Bookings for 'Barbie'-'Oppenheimer' Double Feature"
AMC Theatres has announced that over 20,000 of its Stubs members have already booked tickets to watch both "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" on the same day when the films release on July 21. The simultaneous release of these two highly anticipated movies has sparked a phenomenon known as "Barbenheimer," with fans creating memes, fan art, and apparel. While "Barbie" is expected to have higher ticket sales initially, the release of "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" a week earlier may impact the box office rankings.
