How to watch Barbie and Oppenheimer for better than half price this weekend
The Barbenheimer phenomenon will officially come to a head this weekend with both movies being released today, Friday 21st July. Here's how to watch both of them for less at a cinema near you.
It's been the phenomenon that has gripped the world for months: the Barbenheimer battle. We've anxiously watched the Barbie and Oppenheimer red carpets, promotional interviews, and various marketing strategies to see which blockbuster will reign victorious at the box office. Now, with both sides doing all they could've done, it's time to face the music, with both movies premiering in UK cinemas today (Friday 21st July).
The Greta Gerwig directed Barbie movie stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, and it follows Barbie as she suffers an internal crisis which leads her to question her life and her world, and head to the Human World for answers...
Oppenheimer, on the other hand, is a three-hour Christopher Nolan film which tells the true story of J Robert Oppenheimer (played by Cillian Murphy), the American scientist who helped develop the atomic bomb.
Despite the two films' obvious differences, if you're anything like the RadioTimes.com Going Out team — the movie lovers that we are — you'll be planning on seeing both Barbie and Oppenheimer at the cinema. However, as we've recently discussed in our how to get cheap cinema tickets article, the price of a cinema ticket isn't what it used to be. Nowadays, it's as terrifying as the new Insidious movie.
This Friday, we're telling you how to get cheap cinema tickets for Barbie and Oppenheimer, so you can see both films for less at the weekend.
Read what the RadioTimes.com team thought of both movies in the Barbie review and Oppenheimer review.
