1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: An entertainment of put on your Dance and shifts. Don't

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: give me your best shot. That's from the Daily Oz.

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: She is the deputy editor, Emma Gillespie.

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: Hahoo, good morning, hy and what a massive weekend for cinema.

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: Cinema is back, baby, Barbenheimer. I don't know if you've

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: heard this term, this phrase, Barbenheimer, Barbie and Oppenheimer, two

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: incredibly successful, already films out at the exact same time

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 2: that have just set the movie industry completely a buzz

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: and brought it back to life after the pandemic.

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: And because I think it opened in Australia, in the

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: States that I've been everywhere that we've all had the

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: same weekend.

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: Exactly, we've all had the same weekend. The numbers, the

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 2: final numbers, we won't really know until tomorrow, but New

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: York media are reporting CNN New York Times in the

16
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: US that it's the fourth highest grossing weekend of all

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: time in North American film history. So the combined Barbenheimer

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: hype has so far garnered them three hundred and two

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: US million dollars only in North America. So when you

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: account for the Australian market overseas, markets the UK Asia.

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: You know this is going to be into the billions

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: pretty quickly. He cost one hundred million dollars to make?

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: Was that?

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: Is that right?

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty to make right? And I think

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: by day two we were already climbing towards one fifty.

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: So you know that's the thing that's made their money.

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah it's not Rock Boys too, but or yeahoo's serious?

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Maybe are they? Which of these two films are people?

30
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: If you've got the weekend and you're only seeing one movie,

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: which one are they choosing?

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: Well, it depends how much time you have because Oppenheimer

33
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: does go for three hours. And in case you're not sure,

34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 2: this is the film that follows the life of J.

35
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: Robert Oppenheimer, played by Killian Murphy, who you may know

36
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: from Peaky Blinders. You know all about the spearheading of

37
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: the construction of the first atomic bomb. Christopher Nolan, who's

38
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: you know, the person that brought us inception into sell

39
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: art exactly. So very epic cinematic cinematography, very like, you know,

40
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: the whole thing. Good to see it in a big cinema.

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: Barbie is a film about a feminist utopia gone wrong

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: from Greta Gerwig. It's incredible. It's only maybe two hours,

43
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: Margot Robbie. It's a Barbie world, you know. So it

44
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: depends if pink is your thing, Barbie if world, yeah, exactly,

45
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: if you're a Holocaust or they were, which one do

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: you want?

47
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: I saw the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak he put

48
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: on his Instagram with his wife and two daughters. Well,

49
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: I guess we're seeing Barbie first. I'm sure a lot

50
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: of families are like that.

51
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: And I found that Barbie is exactly that if I

52
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: had a teenage daughter, you know, it would be the

53
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: movie for.

54
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: A dad to take his teenage daughters.

55
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: I think Barbie is the one to see first, yes,

56
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: but people are seeing them back to back. So cinema

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 2: is everywhere all around in Sydney are doing these Barbenheimer

58
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: double features where you see both of them back to back.

59
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: And I haven't yet seen Oppenheimer. I saw Barbie on

60
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: the weekend and I just couldn't. I couldn't pivot. The

61
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: contrast between them would just be really jarring. But dedicated,

62
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: you know, cinema files people who love their movies are

63
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: seeing both, and I think that's what's interesting is that Barbie.

64
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: Obviously he's a really different movie, But people who love

65
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: movies are loving both and loving going to see both.

66
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: It's you know, you go to the foyer of your

67
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: local movies in Ustfield and there's all kinds of people

68
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: going to both of them. And I think that's really

69
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: refreshing to see for an industry that really struggled during

70
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: the pandemic.

71
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: As we know, but as you said at the beginning,

72
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: cinema is back. Is it really back? Because now the

73
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: writers strike, we may not be seeing this for a

74
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: while exactly.

75
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: We will have to wait and see how long the

76
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: strike goes on, how long the actors strike continues, you

77
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: know how that will impact.

78
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: And actors aren't allowed to strike movies anymore, They're not

79
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: allowed to do any of exactly.

80
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: And I mentioned that, you know, this is the fourth

81
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: highest grossing weekend of all time in North America. But

82
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: the films ahead of it are your events and Spider

83
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: Man types, Marvel films, and those are the films most

84
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: kind of vulnerable to this AI. You know, what will

85
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: AI do to cinema? And those are the movies that

86
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: the you know, the experts are saying AI will be

87
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: able to generate scripts. AI will be able to make

88
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: you know the likenesses of all these stars.

89
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: And superher strikes about and so.

90
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: You know, these movies may still be made and be

91
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: released and still raking huge money without the writers and

92
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: the actors. Joe Walsh of The Eagle said he's not

93
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: concerned until AI throws a TV out of a hotel room.

94
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: Trash's entirely possible.

95
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: Until AI goes full Diva. Joe's not worried. Ema.

96
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,720
