That's WB's flex date but I wouldn't drop it there.

 

Week before at least or Thanksgiving. Are they spiting Nolan or that confident?

They're clearly aiming for counterprogramming. At the moment The Little Mermaid is the only other Summer 2023 release that will be mainly targeting females, and this date means they'll still get summer weekdays and play well through Labor Day weekend. Makes sense given the major sunny vibes coming from the first image. Robbie looks great.

 

Although it is hilarious they've placed it against the first Nolan joint in eons without any of their involvement though. What a way of sending a message of "we'll be just fine without you."

Especially if this beats Oppenheimer, which depending how hard Nolan goes with the film, might happen.

Sure but counter programming can work with this movie at any time unless you're sticking it same weekend as a female or family film. I wouldn't do it same weekend as Nolan, even if the female interest rate for that film is .5%. At least a week before or something

This probably will beat Oppenheimer at the box office...

Noooo, don't do this to me WB. Don't make me choose between Gerwig and Nolan.

Can’t you see both OW?

Did not think I'd see a Elyse/Margot joke on here (the first tweet, not the second one).

The movement starts here to get Elyse into the Barbie movie

If the song Barbie Girl either original or cover doesn't feature in the film or the trailer, I will be hugely disappointed. 

[Cappoedameron]

Cancel the movie.

Not anymore!

It was probably part of Mattel's licensing agreement for this movie (there will certainly be dolls made in Robbie's likeness when it comes out) given that they tried to sue Aqua over the song back in the day. Disappointing but can't say I'm surprised.

[Last Man Standing]

It would've been way too on the nose anyway.🤷‍♂️

Seems like someone on twitter found Margot Robbie's letterboxd. Has a bunch of movies like Truman Show and Demy films in her watchlist for Barbie.

 

She's also seen Josie and the Pussycats and Spice World (and I had a feeling for ages that had seen those movies), which have the vibe I want with this film.
