This weekend, two of the biggest movies of the year are set to release on the same day in movie theatres across the world.

On one side of the coin, there is Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in Barbie in what will be a lighthearted, fun movie experience, while on the other side, there is Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer in what will be an intense and thrilling blockbuster.

While typically, two films of contrasting genres would naturally appeal to very different markets, the star power and press interest in both movies have sparked something of a box office battle between the two movies, and they are set to go head to head this weekend.

Estimates state that Barbie will open to around $110m in the United States while Oppenheimer is only predicted to return around $50m over the weekend.

A big contributing factor to this prediction is the fact that Barbie is opening in 600 more cinemas than Oppenheimer in the US, largely due to the longer runtime of Nolan’s blockbuster.
