This past weekend made history in American cinema. After fears that the pandemics and the rise of streaming kings have finally killed the traditional movie venues, now we've just passed the threshold of the biggest opening weekend for a film directed by a woman.
Greta Gerwig indeed made history with her Barbie fantasy comedy film that's slapstick and bombastic but also incredibly sweet, corny, and heartwarming. And today's society, of course, measures success only in prominent figures: $155 million for Barbie at the weekend's box office!

Even better, although there's word of mouth that Warner made sure to send Barbie into theaters during the same timeframe as Cristopher Nolan's ambitious biopic 'Oppenheimer,' it too shattered all expectations with an $80 million debut. Keeping the proportions (these two are vastly different, and the latter is R-rated), that's a major success and a testament to Nolan's status as one of the few cinematographers with real power in Hollywood.

Anyway, back to Barbieland, we also have our automotive fantasy land – and that's where the imaginative digital car content creators fought for associated notoriety with Margot Robbie's character that drives a pink Corvette. First, here's Ish Babaria – a self-taught automotive artist (ish_babaria_design_v2 on social media) – who has cooked a 1958 Barbie Corvette that's more to his liking.

The very fresh Corvette gets a twist – "What if Barbie's Corvette was a lowrider?" The C1 is inspired by the movie version, all toy-like and electric. Still, this lowrider "sits funky on the ground" on 100-spoke wire wheels wrapped in white wall tires and, of course, features a dazzling Metallic pink paint complimented with a custom Barbie-inspired pinstripe on the trunk lid.

If you do not like that, he previously showed a Liberty Walk Super Silhouette Mazda RX-7 FD3S that also hits us with a dash of pink. Or, even better, we could look at alternative dream cars for the (formerly Stereotypical) Barbie with a bit of help from the AI assistance tools.

As such, here is also the virtual artist better known as automotive.ai on social media, who brings us AI automotive designs from a parallel universe and gives us plenty of choices for Barbie-like models. For example, there is a Mercedes-Benz, the Acura NSX, a Kia Stinger GT, a Land Rover SUV, a classic Mini, a Miata, and even some American rides – all made as cabriolets, no matter their official body style.

Of course, someone said we should switch to the Oppenheimer side of the Barbenheimer Internet phenomenon related to the two blockbuster films. No worries, we have a digital antidote to all life's existential insecurities - Mike Dog, the author of "bloody renders," aka _mikedog_ on social media, who has reinvented a BMW E30 into an off-road converted restomod. And, yes, we know it's a little futuristic for the WWII setting of the movie – but that post-apocalyptic background kept pushing us, and it ultimately won our attention!
