Comedy Barbie: The Movie


Just more proof how most of these either are too dumb to understand simple movies or dont even watch them and just follow spreading the same empty nonsense these right wing grifters spew.

Thinking this movie is "anti-men" is insane and only exists if you dont get the movie.
And "full of Transgender"...coming from the "we can always tell" crowd who somehow never can tell until its directly pointed out.
And the movie sadly wasnt as Gay as it could have been.

Either way, go watch the movie people.
Its a great movie and if that is not reason enough, go because it annoys the most obnoxious crowd that exists.
 

So, they're buying Barbies to burn and bringing press to the very thing they wish to bury while also fueling Mattel's economy?

These people are a special kind of stupid
 
Takes me back to when those people were going off on Pokemon 20+ years ago for being demonic creatures whose job is to brainwash your kids.

Just some boxoffice musings.

Barbie passed The Flash entire domestic run in just 2 days and by tomorrow it will pass the combined total of The Flash and MI:7 in just 6 days.

I doubt anyone would have predicted that.:beaming:

I'm not going to lie, I saw that coming. Quite frankly, The Flash found itself right in the middle of a perfect storm of [problematic star] + [general disinterest in this version of the character] + [looming irrelevance of a cinematic universe, a trend in which is experiencing its own rough surf at the moment].

Barbie had no such expectations leveled against it, aside from standing firm to a polar opposite. It was set up for success with the general likeability of its cast and crew (who for the most part are just off social media), its conservative budget, and generally inoffensive marketing campaign that never leaned on BARBENHEIMER to become a success. The unpredictable part of this is that for the first time in a very long time, it produced a "rising tides lifts all boats" effect for Oppenheimer instead of it being crabs in a bucket.
 
Not long until Tuesday actual boxoffice is up, but for now they have released 1 last estimate, $25.7m.
Actuals should be very close to that number with the estimate coming so late. That's virtually flat from Monday.
I'll hazard my own guess for Wednesday, $22m-$23m.

Barbie is adding about $60m a day since the weekend which means today it should pass $500m WW.
Pretty much guaranteed to finish at least #2 for the year, with an outside chance at catching Mario.

 
I think it’s a lot of clickbait fake rage. I don’t deny people can be really stupid, but most are looking for attention and know they’ll get clicks from everyone.

I’ve personally not heard any actual “controversy” in my real life from conservative or liberal or neither. Everyone seemed to enjoy the movie at the very least as “fun”.
 
Yeah on the opposite end, some of the gushing about how this is a really feminist movie also seems a bit over the top. It’s a good funny movie with a nice message. But let’s not act like it’s breaking new ground here.
 
Still reeling from that the fact that Sugar Daddy Ken was a real thing.
 
Probably the latter. She’ll still get paid without having to live up to the pressure. Margot and Gosling will be able to make bank for sure.
 
I don’t mind sequels, especially if Gerwig has a good idea to do one. It’s the spin-offs that they’ll conjure up I fear and run it all into the ground.

Make no mistake, what we all find so refreshing now, we’ll be complaining about in a decade with Ken 3: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
 
Barbie was supposed to be one and done. If they make a sequel it will clearly be just for the money. It doesn't mean that it can't be good at all but I'm not interested in these types of forced sequels that are only happening because of popularity. I'd rather have something that can't directly taint an original project.
 
The question is which R-rated movie will try to open the same weekend to recreate Barbenheimer

I'm completely cool with Barbie sequels (although Gerwig kind of made it hard to do one with how this film ended) but its this whole tired trope of Hollywood execs STILL chasing Marvel's cinematic universe model despite the fact that no one has been able to replicate Marvel's success. Literally every other cinematic universe crashes and burns or dies in the womb.

While I’m sure that might have been Gerwig’s original artistic intent, there is no way WB and Mattel ever thought one and done when they greenlit this.

Sure but I'm talking creatively. What matters to me is a filmmaker's vision. Had Gerwig said that she had ideas for sequels it would have been one thing. But she said she gave all she had for this and narratively the story was clearly done so what ever comes next will almost definitely be a cash grab. Like I'm sure Joker 2 will be. And I personally am very wary of those types of continuations.

Very true that noone has been able to replicate that success, but then the attempts to do so have been utterly dire. Who knows how a good or great attempt would work out (not that I’m asking for it, just speaking generally).

Yes, I see what you’re saying.

I also think she thinks like Christopher Nolan where he said he gave everything to each of his Batman movies as they weren’t planned for more but the one he was currently working on.

Who knows if she might have Barbie Rises in her IF they give her the time like WB let Nolan have between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.

Fair enough. I'm not saying that I won't give it a chance, I'll just be very skeptical. I'm much more excited for her Narnia movies, even if they are Netflix ones.
