<p>'Barbenheimer' is all the rage these days. It is a portmanteau of two big studio films (albeit of a very different kind) that are clashing at the box office thanks to same-day release (on July 21) — Greta Gerwig's <em>Barbie </em>and Christopher Nolan's <em>Oppenheimer</em>. Despite the fact that the movies, starring Margot Robbie and Cillian Murphy, respectively, are so different from each other (if you cannot tell just by the marketing, <em>Barbie </em>is all vibrant and pink, while <em>Oppenheimer </em>is dark and brooding), moviegoers around the world have made up their minds that they are going to do a double feature on the day of the release. Barbenheimer is also a dating trend now.</p>

<h2><strong>Barbenheimer a dating trend?</strong></h2>

<p>Yes, really! It revolves around choosing partners who are your opposite, much like <em>Oppenheimer </em>is to <em>Barbie</em>. Emma Hathorn, a dating expert from Seeking, explained to Indy 100, "While dating someone outside of your usual type may be new or intimidating for some, it can connect you with someone who challenges you to become the best version of yourself."</p>

<p>Hathorn also said that the benefits of such a relationship can also be seen in the sex life. "On a physical level, the spark is unlikely to fizzle — it’s a dynamic coupling that fosters a continuous honeymoon period due to the allure of exploring unknown territories," she said.</p>

Barbenheimer: From blockbuster showdown to summer's hottest dating trend?

<p>It appears the 'Barbenheimer' trend is here to stay. A portmanteau of two of the most awaited movies of this summer — <em>Barbie </em>and <em>Oppenheimer </em>— it has caught on, thanks to not just the sheer appeal of both movies but also how amusingly different they are from each other. While Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is a grim biopic of the man who was instrumental in building a weapon of mass destruction, the other is a light and colourful Greta Gerwig directorial based on a popular little&nbsp;toy. And yet, as per The Hollywood Reporter, more than 20,000 people will do a double feature of 'Barbenheimer'. Elizabeth Frank, Executive VP Worldwide Programming &amp; Chief Content Officer of AMC Theatres, said the fact that so many have already made plans and bought tickets to watch both the films on their opening day is an encouraging indication that the online buzz surrounding the films is translating into actual ticket sales.</p>
