Ashley888 0 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Can someone explain to me why barbie is doing so well? I can understand why kids want to watch it, but most adults? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,625 Posted July 24, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 24, 2023 Because it looks like a quirky comedy + Margot Robbie & Ryan Gosling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,330 Posted July 24, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted July 24, 2023 Also, Barbie has been a multi-generational piece of pop culture for what, like 60-70 years? Those adults going to watch the movie probably all played with some Barbie dolls back when they were kids... So it's nostalgia, smart marketing, self-referential humour and stellar cast, probably.

MUFC 1,507 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Is it a traditional barbie or a binary barbie with a cock and tash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeKhrush 298 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I am guessing it is due to Margot Robbie's cock tease appeal and that it is a movie tailored for "children". Those two factors alone help. It will be interesting to see if it survives 2nd and 3rd week fall off which always happens, the movie cost 150m to make so it is currently rocking a small profit and at very least looks like a movie that will make a modest turn over. The big winner has been Sounds of Freedom a 14m movie that has grossed over 150m excl international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeKhrush 298 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I am kind of hoping Wonka is good, however I have a nagging feeling it is going to disappoint more than @MUFCwho see's a girl who is a 10 but has gnarly feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted July 24, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted July 24, 2023 Their marketing of it has been amazing. It's helped that people have been pitting it against Oppenheimer too and going to see both in one trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's helped that people have been pitting it against Oppenheimer too and going to see both in one trip. Their marketing budget must have been extraordinary. Can't go anywhere online without being hit by Barbie ads. I wonder how many dolls Mattel's going to be selling this year. I imagine it's going to be a great year for them.
