Oppenheimer

Warner Bros.' hit "Barbie" dominated North American box offices for a fourth consecutive week, industry estimates showed on Aug. 13, as director Greta Gerwig continues to bust industry records.

Internet memes referencing the films "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" have sparked anger online in Japan, the only country to ever have been attacked in wartime with nuclear weapons.

One film is about a wildly popular children's doll and the other is a biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the creators of atomic weapons.

Christopher Nolan's latest film, "Oppenheimer," has become one half of the box office and pop culture phenomenon "Barbenheimer," sweeping up glowing reviews along the way.

But eagle-eyed fans have spotted a mistake in a scene set in 1945, as Cillian Murphy's J. Robert Oppenheimer stands among a crowd waving American flags - bearing the wrong number of stars.

In line with the global trend, Mattel's comedy about toys - "Barbie" with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in the lead roles, turned out to be the most watched film in Bulgaria as well, according to aggregated data from movie theaters. 38,107 viewers have seen the film, which is mostly pink in color, and the revenue from their tickets for the first weekend in the country is 452,186 leva.

Warner Bros.' "Barbie" conquered North American box offices in its debut weekend as it raked in a stunning $155 million, while the other half of the movie-going event of the summer, the dark biopic "Oppenheimer," also scored big with $80.5 million in revenue, industry estimates reported on July 23.

The story of the invention of the atomic bomb told in the new film "Oppenheimer" is a "warning" to the world as we grapple with artificial intelligence, insists the movie's director Christopher Nolan.
