There are no guarantees. A lot of people were saying Barbie was going to bomb yet it’s now the biggest picture of the summer. This could be a hit but it will make no difference to my cultural life. I will never see it like almost all of current big entertainment offerings.
At least the lead character in The Barbie movie is white.
My 40 year old son told me that he wants to watch Barbie with me. I told him that I am not comfortable going to a movie targeted at preteen girls. But he tells me that plenty of adults have been talking about the movie and that it is a great chance to mock over-the-top feminism.
He said that from what he has heard in conversations, in the end, it is a bunch of guys who save the uber-feminist Barbies from themselves.
I don’t know. But the movie does have fairly decent reviews.
Two words can explain the success of the Barbie Movie: Margot Robbie
(You're welcome.)
Adult women are going in droves
Snap out of it. This will NOT be a hit. This is a dumb movie from a really dumb corporation, it won’t earn a dime in profit.
