  Wigner's friend paradoxes highlight contradictions between measurements made
by Friends inside a laboratory and superobservers outside a laboratory, who
have access to an entangled state of the measurement apparatus. The
contradictions lead to no-go theorems for observer-independent facts, thus
challenging concepts of objectivity. Here, we examine the paradoxes from the
perspective of establishing consistency with macroscopic realism. We present
versions of the Brukner-Wigner-friend and Frauchiger-Renner paradoxes in which
the spin-$1/2$ system measured by the Friends corresponds to two
macroscopically distinct states. The local unitary operations $U_{\theta}$ that
determine the measurement setting $\theta$ are carried out using nonlinear
interactions, thereby ensuring measurements need only distinguish between the
macroscopically distinct states. The macroscopic paradoxes are perplexing,
seemingly suggesting there is no objectivity in a macroscopic limit. However,
we demonstrate consistency with a contextual weak form of macroscopic realism
(wMR): The premise wMR asserts that the system can be considered to have a
definite spin outcome $\lambda_{\theta}$, at the time after the system has
undergone the unitary rotation $U_{\theta}$ to prepare it in a suitable pointer
basis. We further show that the paradoxical outcomes imply failure of
deterministic macroscopic local realism, and arise when there are unitary
interactions $U_{\theta}$ occurring due to a change of measurement setting at
both sites, with respect to the state prepared by each Friend. In models which
validate wMR, there is a breakdown of a subset of the assumptions that
constitute the Bell-Locality premise. A similar interpretation involving a weak
contextual form of realism exists for the original paradoxes.
