Barbie | July 21, 2023 | Warner Bros | Margot Robbie is Barbie. Ryan Gosling is Ken. | Second most profitable movie of 2023

[MrPink]

Both should have debuted at Cannes and got their 6 minute standing ovations

[Redolent]

WB is starting to schedule additional screenings in different cities as an alternative to the conflicting one with Oppenheimer…something I guess.

Maybe it's not that good either? 😵

 

Or maybe like for spider man the best way nowdays, when everything is old news after 48 hours, is a conversation at the last moment 😃

 

in general i never understood what's the point to have reviews and reactions 10 20 or 30 days before.

if It's a Little movie It's important to let the movie grow but when you have a blockbuster, especially if good, hyping at the last time seems to me the best idea honestly.

Looks like Haunted Mansion will take over Dolby Cinema locations only a week after, which is perhaps not very surprising but still jarring contrasted with Oppenheimer's three-week hold on IMAX theaters. Does make me question Barbie's staying power especially if reviews aren't phenomenally good. Fingers crossed Barbenheimer will continue, I would hate for it to fizzle out after opening weekend--it's been so much fun!

So why Oppenheimer Is hiding too?.

Nolan's embargoes always ends right before the release. It is normal for him.

I highly doubt Barbie gets a bad RT score. Would bet 80s, which is great. Nothing can stop this train.

So … reviews was supposed to drop on the 13th, than Deadline said is actually on 18th 

 

and now on UK it says July 19th, merely 24 hours before previews 

 

I just can’t understand why they’re pushing this embargo more and more 

 

 

 

Apparently it is the same as the original embargo time. It is just time zone difference (UK vs US time). So it has not been delayed.

 

Of course Jordan Ruimy has already stirred crap up saying how it's delayed.

Ruimy wrong again lmao

Whether critics like the movie or not it’s still going to be a massive box office hit. The movie might suck but me and so many others have already preordered tickets that it doesn’t matter at this point.

A Barbie movie ad just popped up on my Bumble. If they pop up on my Grindr in filing a police report’

A handful of AMCs have both an IMAX and a Dolby, which it makes easy for more than one movie to get those screens at those theaters. Dolby is also more flexible by design, which is why they can change movies each week. It's going to be a packed few weeks post-Barbenheimer when Dolby will have Haunted Mansion/TMNT and Meg 2 sharing the auditorium that weekend/Gran Turismo/Blue Beetle all over the next month.

You’re going to get Netflix direct to streaming Greta Gerwig’s Narnia films and you are going to enjoy it.

In the very beginning they were just playing at 2 theatres in Kyoto where I am. Now every theatre in the prefecture has showtimes for it. I wondered if it does business here.
