can imagine how high this would have really gone if they had cast an actual human ken doll in the lead alongside Ryan to really excite the female audience

Just waiting some word on reviews before entering the +100M club, but yeah is definitely possible

Reviews will good. There might be some complaints of the second act, the real world sequences or the America Ferrara subplot but the overall comedy and emotion combined with Greta's critical consistency and Gosling's iconic performance will greatly elevate the reception. I just think this movie will be exactly what everyone wants but in ways they weren't expecting it (compliment). Probably 80s on MC, high 80s on RT (maybe low 90s?)

I’m hoping, since everything about this movie goes viral on social media i think bad scores would hurt it badly 

 

With something like 77-82 on MC and 88-92% on RT i think it will 100% blow up

100/350 is my prediction

Man recently I read a survey about 10 hottest men for women and Ryan Gosling was in the top 10.

So be serious 💀 also Ken  has a very fun role, doesn't have to be just beautiful so It's good to have Ryan, he seems very good from the trailer. The desaparecidos actor you quote is average and seems also even oldest than Ryan.

...have you seen this?

I hope this is well received, Robbie deserves it after her miserable 2022.

I’m still wondering who the audience for this is tbh… is there really room for an ironic, meta Barbie movie to break out beyond 250-300m WW? I love Gerwig and I’m sure the movie will be good so I’m rooting for it… all objective metrics like trailer views and tracking look good, so maybe my gut is just wrong on this one.

THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME opened too the 4th biggest opening weekend ever in 1999.

 

There is room for these types of films when they really hit. The penetration into the pop culture zeitgeist is immense.

I agree with this. I also hate how Grace Randolph look down on her as if the box office failures of her past movies were simply just because of her.

Grace is clearly jealous that Robbie is not only beyond stunning classic beauty but seems to have an extremely warm, good natured personality to match. IDK who her husband is but guy is one of the luckiest men on planet.

Sex and The City opened to 57M on 3,200 screens in 2008 with an R-rating. 

[Redolent]

A key question will be, does the humour translate well internationally? Or even beyond the US in some cases? That can be a challenge.

If you live in a country that has actually had a recent female president / prime minister, you might raise your eyebrows at that.

Grace Randolph is a huge joke

My local art house cinema are showing this haha. Love that.

Predictably the few IMAX shows are selling out like water.

 

This theater has 6 showings for preview day in a 500 seats auditorium and they are all almost sold out.
