Stock Investors Says Cineworld are to Reap the Rewards of Barbenheimer This Weekend LET’S HOPE SO!!!!!!!!!.24 Jul 2023 02:03
Cinema companies such as Cineworld Group PLC (LSE:CINE) and Everyman Media Group PLC (AIM:EMAN) are expecting to reap the rewards of the “Barbenheimer” social media meme.
Hundreds of thousands of people have bought tickets to see Barbie and Oppenheimer on the same day, according to an FT report, citing Comscore.
This is a “maybe a once-in-a-decade” moment for cinemas, said Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
Leisue analyst Mark Brumby at Langton Capital said film buffs are "fretting" about the upcoming clash between Barbie and Oppenheimer.
"They’re asking if you can’t watch both films the instant they hit the screens, will it ruin your life, etc. and, presumably in order to help them out, a Barbenheimer industry has sprung up whereby you can purchase T-shirts, posters and mugs featuring a mashup of both films.
