00:00 Did you know Margot Robbie went head to head against a major Hollywood producer?
00:03 And who came out on top?
00:05 You'll soon know.
00:06 Our favorite Barbie, Margot Robbie, received a call from Charles Roven, the producer of
00:10 Oppenheimer, requested that she change the release date of her movie Barbie.
00:13 Roven, who produced Nola's Dark Knight and worked with Margot Robbie on Suicide Squad,
00:17 suggested the change to avoid clash with Christopher Nola's Oppenheimer.
00:20 But Robbie, standing on business, responded that if Charles' team is worried about competition,
00:25 then they should be the one changing their date.
00:26 Universal initially scheduled Oppenheimer for July 21, 2023, and Warner Bros. let us
00:32 set the same release date for Barbie.
00:34 Margot Robbie viewed the two movies as a great pairing, and the simultaneous release of these
00:37 two banger films led to the Barbenheimer phenomenon.
00:41 With Barbie becoming Warner Bros.' highest grossing movie of all time with $1.4 billion,
00:46 and Oppenheimer becoming the second highest grossing biopic of all time with $950 million
00:51 worldwide, what does the success of Barbie and Oppenheimer releasing on the same date
00:55 they tell us about the future of movie scheduling in Hollywood.
