Move over Taylor Swift, summer's hottest ticket is a "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" double feature.
AMC Theaters this week announced that more than 20,000 members of its AMC Stubs loyalty program have purchased tickets to watch the unlikely cinematic pairing on the same day.
Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" and Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" have been slated for a July 21 release for the past year.
The juxtaposition between the bright and bubbly "Barbie" and the dour, nuclear bomb drama has led internet users to declare "Barbenheimer" a must-see double feature.
"I want to see both 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer,'" Cruise said.
