TheImpressiveX ( @TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml ) English27•11 months agoScientists are still trying to figure out how this movie went woke but didn’t go broke.
Echo Dot ( @echodot@feddit.uk ) English5•11 months agoBut it did go broke. It is reality that is wrong.
TheOakTree ( @TheOakTree@beehaw.org ) English4•11 months agoThey spent $300m on production and marketing, and made $1b… I’m struggling to see the broke part.
Echo Dot ( @echodot@feddit.uk ) English2•11 months agoWhat? I don’t think you’ve read my comment properly.
TheOakTree ( @TheOakTree@beehaw.org ) English1•11 months agoI don’t really understand what you mean then, you said it did go broke, and that reality is wrong. Meaning, it didn’t go broke, and you refuse to acknowledge reality for some reason.
Mossy Feathers (They/Them) ( @MossyFeathers@pawb.social ) English22•11 months agoHonestly, 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.
ShustOne ( @ShustOne@lemmy.one ) English8•11 months agoYeah I couldn’t believe how fun it was. The story isn’t perfect but it’s just a blast
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!

Master ( @Master@lemm.ee ) English11•11 months agoJust 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.
Teknikal ( @Teknikal@lemm.ee ) English11•11 months agoYeah Margot Robbie is stinking hot. No surprise to me.
dunning_cougar ( @dunning_cougar@waveform.social ) English11•11 months agoCome on Barbie, let’s go party!
Anissem ( @Anissem@lemmy.ml ) English9•11 months agoLike 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.
Geth ( @Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English8•11 months agoTechnically still based on an existing and very recognizable IP, that’s probably part of the success. The story is mostly original I guess.
bouncing ( @bouncing@partizle.com ) English7•11 months agoLife in plastic. It’s fantastic.
Quereller ( @Quereller@lemmy.one ) English3•11 months agoBillionaire Barbie set comes when?
Poob ( @Poob@lemmy.ca ) English6•11 months agoOnly if it comes with a guillotine
