It was only a matter of time, but Barbie has continued to have its cultural moment When The Super Mario Bros Movie came out and did well, people were surprised its box office was as big as it was, but animated movies geared toward younger audiences have mass appeal While having mass appeal, Barbie is a bit[...]

To say that Barbie is doing well at the box office would be an understatement The film is a critical and commercial success, the likes of which the summer really needed after many mediocre movies that didn't light the box office on fire After how badly The Flash bombed, it's not surprising that Warner Bros[...]

After the dust cleared, Gran Turismo won the weekend box office, denying Barbie a return to the top spot Depending on who you ask, though *cough Warner Bros*, they goosed the numbers by including preview screening numbers in its weekend total of $17.3 million Every studio does that now so that Sony can claim their[...]

Barbie is a miracle movie because there is no universe where this should have been approved, let alone given the budget it got, and the fact that it all works so well is why this movie will live on for years. Director: Greta Gerwig Summary: To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in[...]

It shouldn't be a surprise that Barbie [$575.4M] has passed The Super Mario Bros Movie [$574M] to become the biggest movie of 2023 at the domestic box office, but it has also done so in a little over a month, according to Variety Both films had meteoric rises at the box office but also did very well over[...]

Blue Beetle did indeed unseat Barbie from the top position at the weekend box office, though now that the actual numbers are out, it does not feel impressive The latest offering from DC scored $25.4 million, below projections Who knows what specific factors contributed to that, but what it really seems to boil down to[...]

Barbie has now completed a fourth straight victory at the weekend box office Greta Gerwig's film added another $33.7 million this weekend, bringing its domestic total up to $526 million That puts it only about $50 million or so behind The Super Mario Bros Movie as the top domestic earner for 2023, and it will[...]

So were we surprised to read that Maher was back on his front porch, with his fist in the air as he raged at the pink clouds of Barbie swirling around him? No – because Maher's responses to things these days read like they come from an angry "Mad Libs" template. Image: Warner Bros (Barbie)/HBO Screencap We'll[...]

Apparently, he didn't like hearing the word "patriarchy" a lot[...]

Barbie, it's hard to imagine a version of the film where we didn't have star Margot Robbie leading the pack. But as we know, there were other adaptations in discussion prior to Robbie's involvement, which all since fizzled out Now, during a new interview to promote its release, the massively popular actor revealed what led to[...]

Barbie is supposed to be a camp, fluffy, slightly knowing comedy that families can take their kids to that sells toys Instead, in the hands of Greta Gerwig, it becomes a whole meditation on what Barbie represents, the changing and different relationships that girls have had with their dolls, gender roles in society, and the[...]

I will enter late afternoon and emerge in the wee hours of Sunday and try to get home. £7 tickets which are relatively reasonable these days in London Zone 2, and I could probably have gotten away with just buying one ticket and then cinema screen-surfed, but I have become a little too honest for my[...]
