I don't know about professional critics average but from variegate reactions in terms of age, sexes, culture now I feel people will really like this movie.

Seems gerwig was really able to create something multilayered and different kind of people can find their own thing on It.

Feels like a classic WB mid July explosion were a film totally takes over pop culture. Thinking $200m+ is more and more likely. The buzz is truly deafening in all corners.

Any idea what the maximum OW might be for Barbie considering the presales? Are we looking at some record-breaking grosses here and there?👩🏻‍💼

Hard to say because pre sales have not slowed down one bit. Right now it's looking like $20-$25m for presales. Lets split the difference and give it a very generous x8 multiplier, that brings it to $180m. It has a chance to beat Wakanda Forever but it's unlikely. $120m has to be the floor at this point.

No surprise to anybody who has seen "Ladybird".

Sacramento media going crazy with the "Local Girl Make Good" angle for Gerwig.

Lol if this becomes the biggest OW for a WB film.

Barbie also got a tonful of free publicity when a few right wing GOP congressmen attacked the film for being "CHinese Propganda"...

At this point they're like a 95 Year Old Italian Great Grandmother who refuses to go anywhere that some other 95 year Old Italian Great Grandmother will be because of something that happened in 1948 and when asked what happened will just answer 'She knows what she did' and if you really drill down it ends up being something like she never returned a salad bowl after a neighbourhood picnic.

Gunn should hire you for the writer's room! 👏

This movie is going to make Greta Gerwig huge. It has been brewing for a while but the time has come.

Whelp that means that these people, who were DEFINITELY going to see this movie, are now going to be forced to boycott it.

Is there another source for this? The random guy with the Peaky Blinders pfp doesn't seem to be the most trustworthy. Weird that it would take this long for them to ban it if that was the case.

New way of banning films is by just delaying it from planned schedule. I won't question the source as he is the one from who Middle East Dailies numbers can be pulled. 

 

Well, let's see if Deadline cover up later. I will post on the thread if I get any alternate source.

The current OW record for a WB film so far, is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 with it’s $169M OW that it still holds after 12 years. And no other WB film after that, topped Potter’s OW record.

[Redolent]

One of the places it was meant to release was in Egypt on the 19th but they also now delayed it…sad times.

They did the same thing with ATSV. Apparently ATSV  been banned in most of the Middle East for not passing censorship guidelines
