Barbenheimer is the latest Hollywood couple, and an unlikely one at that.
The social and entertainment media mash up of «Barbie» and «Oppenheimer,» two big-budget movies released Friday, is what people are buzzing about, and many are planning to see the films together, as a double feature. The two films don’t seem like they’d go together, but in the run-up, they’ve become a thing.
«They are two, non-sequel, original movies are being released at the same time,» said Carly Gomez, 26, of Grosse Pointe Woods, who headed into a 9 a.m. Saturday showing of «Oppenheimer» at the Emagine Royal Oak theater with boyfriend Matt Burns, also 26, of Grosse Pointe Woods. «And they are just so different.»
They were meeting up with another couple, who planned to later see «Barbie,» for a double feature, double date.
One film is a comedy based on a doll; the other is a biopic about the making of the atomic bomb.
