In 2023, the film industry experienced something very unexpected: instead of choosing two wildly different films, Barbie<\/a> and Oppenheimer<\/a>, moviegoers decided to make it an event called Barbenheimer, attending both films. Since then, the event hasn’t been replicated.<\/p>\n

One day later, there was a soft attempt to recreate the same excitement with Wicked<\/a> and Gladiator II<\/a> in what was dubbed “Glicked.” However, unlike Barbie<\/a> and Oppenheimer<\/a>, which both thrived, only Wicked<\/a> was successful. Worry not, as Robert Downey Jr.<\/a> is officially returning with a new Barbeheimer later this year: Avengers: Doomsdayand Dune: Part Three, which he dubbed, “Dunesday.”<\/p>\n
