The 'Barbenheimer' phenomenon is here, with blockbuster films 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer' opening on the same day.
"We’re very eager to see the movies," Raphael Racine said, dressed up with Sarah Komendat to see the two movies.
Komendat dressed as Barbie, and Rachine going to see the movies at Cineplex Scotiabank Theatre in Gloucester as Oppenheimer."'Barbie' first, and 'Oppenheimer' at 6," the two said."It’s an event, have to dress for the occasion," says one person about to see 'Barbie.'"I guess just because of the hype of it.
"These movies are appealing to people of both audiences," says Shane Bennett, Cineplex Scotiabank general manager. "One thing we’ve noticed right away is that a lot of people are buying tickets for both films, and they’re going to spend about five or six hours of their day here. So yeah, it’s really transcended - it’s become a whole experience for people.""We’ve added more shows, so there are still tickets available but it’s been absolutely phenomenal.
"It’s a movie event like no other; they don’t come around very often. This is one that everybody kind of gets excited about, it’s a bit of a cultural moment," Mr. Hollywood Matt Demers said."It was so good, everything about it. It was really funny and it was really sweet," said one guest after seeing 'Barbie.'Audiences also appreciate 'Oppenheimer.'
