Jul. 24—EAU CLAIRE — Micon Cinemas general manager Dan Olson said huge crowds came out to area theaters over the weekend, driven by the unlikely duo of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer."

"It was a great weekend for movie theaters and audiences," Olson said Monday. "They are totally different, but both did well. It was basically sold out. Since 'Barbie' opened, I think every show was sold out this weekend at Micon 7."
