Well if I look at my local theatre Oppenheimer wasn't even screening. If I want to see it I have to drive to another province. My local mall even had barbie photo booths and all. Barbie sells, pink or bright colour clothes, makeup, toys comics, other strait to DVD movies. Oppenheimer what can you sell, a science kit for a child, a book?

Ah, isn't it nice to live in capitalist consumerism. Producing brand stuff for money is so important. Climate? Pffft.

The runtime is also definitely in Barbies favour, 3 hours is a LONG time for a move for most people. Barbie also have a really big and wide audience span, and it works as a family move. You can not say the same about Oppenheimer.

Oppenheimer was R rated in some areas that means time or theatre restrictions

Saw both, loved both. Barbie was very good, Oppenheimer was a masterpiece.
