They did pretty good given that Barbie got the higher number of views/sales as well as the videos floating around of people who did the whole "Barbieheimer" tour who just surfed TikTok on their phones during the film (because of how bored they were I presume).

If this is how the general public reacted to a movie like Oppenheimer, its impressive how well they actually did viewer wise.

People on TikTok will not have the attention span for a film like Oppenheimer.

Good point. However that is a substantial portion of the American audience.

I am aware and it is awful. I do hope intelligent movies like Oppenheimer continue to be made.
