Honestly I would have beeen happy if the movie had gotten a 70 on Rotten tomatoes, but it looks like is going to end in the 80s or 90s 

 

all in all congrats to everyone involved with this film since it looks like warner bros finally got the major hit that they desperately needed after the flash was such a huge disaster for them

never understood the scare about reviews from people in regards to this, glad to be proven right tbh

Barbie probably settles high-80s RT and high-70s MC

real reviews pouring in on Letterboxd too: https://letterboxd.com/film/barbie/reviews/by/added/, probably 4.0-4.1 there

WB does have a history of scoring hits after something has flopped, 2008 was the year Speed Racer faltered then two months later The Dark Knight was a huge hit, 2017 they had a disaster in King Arthur but rebounded with Wonder Woman, Dunkirk and It.

 

As I've said, the second half of 2023 is looking very strong for them. I'm very bullish on Dune Part 2 and Wonka with maybe The Meg 2 surprising OS.

High average fives me hope it stays in the 90s on RT

[vale9001]

94% on RT with 63%. Ending over 90% i guess.

[Lucas]

[vale9001]

Anyway critics are good. Point more point less now.  Basic people going to RT Will see around 90%.

 

Now we can focus on people opinions and they are very positive and what's even Better they seems from very different target of people for sexes, races, Age, film culture.

So a genuinely fun masterpiece in mid July = high end leg projections. Are we about to see a $185/700m type of domestic run...?

 

Gerwig, Robbie, and Gosling's paychecks for the sequel will be insane.

Mattel has managed to one up Hasbro with Barbie. 

 

 

[JustLurking]

More than the tomatometer the average is exceptionally high, which is fantastic. Critics are really high on this clearly.

[The Dark Alfred]

Looks like all the July big players delivered in quality. Awesome times at the movies. Let's see the fireworks!

those legs would be almost impossible for a movie opening that big, but this keeps defying 'possibilities' so who knows
