Movie lovers and industry analysts will be talking about the dual U.S. releases of Barbie <\/em>and Oppenheimer<\/em> this month\u2014but not, perhaps, the films\u2019 own stars. <\/p>\n

Two much-hyped summer films, the Greta Gerwig-directed Barbie <\/em>and Christopher Nolan\u2019s Oppenheimer<\/em>, are slated to hit U.S. theaters on Friday. While fans may be looking forward to seeing both movies during the same weekend, dubbing the mashup \u201cBarbenheimer\u201d on social media, the\u00a0Screen Actors Guild \u2014 American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike may hamper studios\u2019 promotional efforts. <\/p>\n

\n

The Screen Actors Guild\u2019s National Board voted to strike on Thursday, with the strike becoming effective just after midnight on Friday. Strike rules prohibit SAG members from promotional activities, such as making personal appearances, sitting for interviews, and attending premieres and screenings, for films produced under a union contract.<\/p>\n

Already, that\u2019s resulted in changes for the movies\u2019 rollouts. The cast of Oppenheimer<\/em>, including Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and Florence Pugh, left the film\u2019s U.K. premiere on Thursday. Variety<\/em> on Friday reported that the red carpet portion of the U.S. premiere would be cancelled due to the strike, citing a statement from production company Universal Pictures. Universal did not immediately respond to Barron\u2019s<\/em> request for comment sent over the weekend. <\/p>\n

Barbie <\/em>has already hosted so-called \u201cpink carpet\u201d premieres in cities such as Los Angeles and London. Margot Robbie, one of the film\u2019s stars, voiced her support for the strike in a video interview with SkyNews during the film\u2019s London premiere on Wednesday. \u201cI\u2019m very much in support of all the unions,\u201d she said, according to the video. <\/p>\n

The strike follows unsuccessful negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers over a new contract. The Alliance represents producers such as Walt Disney, NBCUniversal, Warner Bros. Discovery, and
\n Netflix,<\/span>
\n Barron\u2019s<\/em> wrote previously. <\/p>\n

Film promotion is a small piece of the strike actions, which also include performing work on or off camera, such as acting, singing, voice acting, and narration, and background work such as rehearsing and auditioning.<\/p>\n

The Writers Guild of America has similarly been on strike since May 2, after the union\u2019s bargaining agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers expired. It\u2019s the first time both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA have been on strike together since 1960, the New York Times reported. \u201cWe stand solidly behind our union siblings in SAG-AFTRA as they begin their work stoppage,\u201d the WGA wrote in a Thursday statement. <\/p>\n
