Commentary: Can Tom Cruise, Oppenheimer and Barbie save the summer box office?

LA Times  

At first glance, the trio of highly promoted, hotly anticipated Hollywood movies set to be unleashed on the world beginning Wednesday, couldn’t be more different. While “Mission: Impossible” scratches the more traditional hyper-male action itch, “Barbie” is shaping up to be the rare female-focused summer blockbuster — a fuchsia-drenched laugh riot with an edgy real-world twist. Meanwhile, the early take on “Oppenheimer” is that it might be Christopher Nolan’s finest film to date — an artful, thinking person’s biopic exploring life-and-death themes both terrifying and universal. With early reviews largely positive and the halo effect of last summer’s megahit, “Top Gun: Maverick,” the film is sure to rejuvenate the box office. Platinum-blond Ryan Gosling scores a win for film and fashion in “Barbie.” “Barbie” director and onetime mumblecore hero Greta Gerwig and that movie’s star, Margot Robbie, responded in kind by also posting photos of themselves holding tickets to both “Mission: Impossible” and “Oppenheimer” in front of each film’s respective poster.
