Lynda Carter: Unveiling Her Fascinating Encounter With Oppenheimer Prior to Barbie
Lynda Carter, the original Wonder Woman, offers a brilliant suggestion on experiencing Oppenheimer before Barbie, making it an unexpectedly captivating double feature
Renowned Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter offers a brilliant perspective on tackling a Barbie and Oppenheimer double feature, as both films are set to premiere on July 21. Carter gained fame for portraying Diana Prince (also known as Wonder Woman) in the beloved Wonder Woman TV series, which aired from 1975 to 1979.
Expressing her sentiment on Twitter, Carter advocates for watching Oppenheimer prior to Barbie.
Carter humorously remarked, "this is because Barbie resides in the world that Oppenheimer crafted." The tweet alludes to the towns erected as nuclear test sites during the development of the atomic bomb. Analogously, Barbie unveils the fictitious, plastic town of Barbieland. Following the timeline, Barbie also comes after Oppenheimer, as the doll was not introduced until 1959, long after the conclusion of World War II.
Why Barbie and Oppenheimer May Become An Unexpected Double Feature
The upcoming release of Barbie and Oppenheimer as a double feature has generated a buzz among audiences. With the release date approaching, more than 20,000 tickets have already been sold to witness this unique cinematic experience. Despite the competition at the box-office, movie-goers are eagerly anticipating both blockbusters this summer.
However, the simultaneous release of Barbie and Oppenheimer presents a significant box office challenge for both films. Christopher Nolan has a strong track record of producing financially successful movies, including The Dark Knight trilogy and Inception. Nevertheless, projections indicate that Barbie is expected to earn twice as much money as Oppenheimer during its opening weekend.
While actors like Tom Cruise may have a specific preference for which film to watch first, it will ultimately be up to audiences to decide how they want to experience these movies. Given the disappointing performance of several summer releases, combining Barbie and Oppenheimer as a double feature could potentially help boost box office numbers. Taking Carter's suggestion into consideration, this might be the most favorable approach.
