Barbie earns $1 billion at the box office worldwide
We’re all living in a Barbie world.
Scientists are still trying to figure out how this movie went woke but didn't go broke.
Everything "woke" about this movie was conspicuously missing from the trailers or any promotional material. The marketing for this film has been incredibly well handled.
Got back from the theatre about 10m ago, and I see why! It was a lot of fun, and while it did have some serious things, it also didn't take it's humorous parts seriously. For 2 hours and the cost of a ticket, I'd definitely recommend it.
Honestly, what I expected when I went to see Barbie was a charming yet shallow movie-length commercial. What I got instead was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
Yeah I couldn't believe how fun it was. The story isn't perfect but it's just a blast
What makes you see that, cause I felt like it was the first one
any news that makes Ben Shapiro upset is good news to me
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Greta Gerwig’s Barbie has officially made $1 billion globally at the box office, becoming the fastest Warner Bros. release to hit the milestone.
Barbie is the first movie from a solo female director to hit the mark, joining just a few other female-directed films that have grossed over a billion dollars internationally: Frozen and Frozen II (both co-directed by Jennifer Lee alongside Chris Buck) and Captain Marvel (co-directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck).
“It’s a good club to be in,” said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. Pictures president of domestic distribution, in a statement to Variety.
Chief among them, I’d argue, is that Gerwig — who also co-wrote the film alongside regular collaborator Noah Baumbach — deserves to be given as much money as she wants to make whatever she pleases.
Prior to the release of Barbie, The New Yorker reported that the toy company is considering adapting everything from Hot Wheels to Uno.
Barbie stars Margot Robbie as the sublime titular protagonist, while Ryan Gosling’s job is Ken.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
How the fuck do you adopt Uno into a movie??
Make it a realistic Hunger Games esque survival card game movie. I want to see heads explode when they get hit with that 7th consecutive Draw 2 and have to draw 14 cards. I want to see Predator but it's two guys both holding three Draw 4s. I want blood to be spilled, a PG-13 rating at a minimum.
100% the next actual Barbie doll is going to be “Weird Barbie”
Just searched “Weird” on Amazon and it’s already the top suggested result. People are searching for the doll and also the Halloween costume en mass.
I actually want a weird Barbie, and I'm not into Barbies. But here's the catch, weird Barbies are made, not bought. If you buy a weird Barbie, that ruins the point.
Mattel already announced weird Barbie as a real doll: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvh1fLTLD-Q/
Oh god that's so stupid...
The whole point of the weird Barbie is that it's being badly treated by kids, and was once a normal Barbie... Why do they now sell what we all did to our barbies at some point as a brand new one
Of course they did, haha
They’re selling an “I am Kenough” sweater for like $80 already, so if anything I’m surprised they didn’t have this doll ready to go!
Come on Barbie, let’s go party!
Like Barbie or not, I’m just happy to see some original movies pop up. Hopefully it can be a reminder to studios that people don’t want just sequels and reboots.
Technically still based on an existing and very recognizable IP, that's probably part of the success. The story is mostly original I guess.
Just came back from seeing it. Loved the overall message but the movie was pretty disjointed with a lot of weird plot lines that never get closure. It wasn't that great of a movie which was sad because the set pieces were great, the acting was good and it had a wholesome positive and thought provoking message. It just wasn't a good movie. But also its been two hours and im still going over the movie mentally so maybe it is a good movie.
I just dont know how I feel about this movie.
This movie has some serious kenergy behind it.
Life in plastic. It’s fantastic.
Yeah Margot Robbie is stinking hot. No surprise to me.
Billionaire Barbie set comes when?
Only if it comes with a guillotine
That's, what, 200 tickets sold at least with today's prices.
Just watched it, gotta say I really enjoyed it. I thought it was smart and fun -- I am not super familiar with the toys but I feel like if I were, there would have been a lot of Easter eggs.
