Greta Gerwig's Barbie and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer took over the world last summer.

The pop culture zeitgeist during the summer of 2023 was captured by two films simultaneously -- Greta Gerwig's Barbie and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer . Due to them releasing the same weekend, it became a double-feature of sorts for fans attending the movies. From promotional material to interviews it was the event of the summer. While Barbie grossed over $1.

However for some films, a straight to streaming approach has proven successful in the past. Take Netflix's The Gray Man as an example. Although it didn't receive the best reviews, it became Netflix's #1 movie of the year for 2022 and was greenlit for a sequel shortly after its release. The sequel from The Russo Brothers remains in active development.

"There's no reason to believe that the movie itself is better in any size of screen for all people," he told The New York Times."My son's an editor, he watched 'Lawrence of Arabia' on his phone."The Commercial Success of BarbenheimerIn 2023, Barbie co-writer Noah Baumbach revealed that he wasn't initially interested in taking part in a project about Barbie despite Gerwig's insistence.

Both Barbie and Oppenheimer have since won several awards, including an Oscars sweep for Oppenheimer with Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Picture, Best Director. Despite Barbie's Oscars snub which upset a lot of fans, Billie Eilish and Finneas did walk away with an award for Best Song for"What Was I Made For." It has also found great success at both the Grammys and the People's Choice Awards.
