Barbie box office prediction, after the film crossed the $1billion mark.The conservative political commentator, who posted a review of Greta Gerwig’s film on his YouTube channel last month, predicted the movie would “absolutely fall off a cliff” following its first week of release.“Week one this thing is going to clean up at the domestic box office,” Shapiro said in his review. “My prediction: it’s going to just absolutely fall off a cliff after that.“The repeat business on this movie is going to be non-existent because it was written by two people who are so smug and self-satisfied in Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, that they have no audience.”Last week, Barbie crossed the $1billion mark at the worldwide box office, becoming the first film solely directed by a woman to hit the milestone.

Whoopi Goldberg has hit back at criticism of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie from conservative commentators like Ted Cruz and Ben Shapiro.On Tuesday’s (July 25) episode of US chat show The View, a reel of various right-wing commentators criticising the film was shown. Among the clips was Texas senator Cruz, who described it as “Chinese communist propaganda” due to its depiction of a disputed region in the South China Sea (via Business Insider).Shapiro, meanwhile, branded it “one of the worst movies I have ever seen” and “angry, feminist claptrap that alienates men from women” in his YouTube review.In response to their comments, Goldberg said: “It’s a movie! It’s a movie about a doll!“I thought y’all would be happy. She has no genitalia, so there’s no sex involved.

A recently surfaced video of Rachel Zegler, who plays the titular character in the upcoming live-action remake of “Snow White,” has sparked controversy after the actress revealed how the new Disney film would differ from the 1937 animated classic.In the 2022 D23 Expo Variety interview clip, Zegler and “Wonder Woman” actress Gal Gadot discussed how the reimagining of Snow White would shift the Disney princess’s values, dreams and agency in the story.When asked how the new Snow White would bring a “modern edge” to the famous fable, Zegler laughed and said, “I just mean that it’s no longer 1937.”Gadot, who will play the Evil Queen in the movie, interjected and divulged that Prince Ferdinand would not save Snow White.“She’s not going to be saved by the prince and she’s not going to be dreaming about true love,” Zegler noted. “She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave and true.”“It’s just a really incredible story for young people everywhere to see themselves in,” she added.The resurfaced video spread across social media early in the week, making many Twitter users skeptical of the new adaptation’s thematic direction.“It’s no longer 1937, guys,” State Freedom Caucus Network Comms Director Greg Price said.

the social media nickname given to the one-two punch of Warner Bros’ “Barbie” and Universal’s “Oppenheimer” — did boffo business at the domestic box office, grossing a combined $235 million. “Barbie,” at $155 million alone, had the biggest three-day opening of the year so far. And right on cue, the usual pronouncements are being made:Audiences love originality! (Everyone has seemingly forgotten that Barbie is a super-famous doll and not from director Greta Gerwig’s imagination.) Stories about women sell! (Just as with men’s stories, like floperoo “Indiana Jones,” sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t. “Oppenheimer,” which many online are calling sexist toward women, sold tremendously well at $80 million.) It’s quality, stupid! (Tell that to “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Women Talking,” “The Fabelmans” and most of the other Best Picture Oscar nominees released last year.) However, the real takeaway of #Barbenheimer — a cinematic Brigadoon that will soon disappear into the fog — is one that is becoming increasingly obvious in the entertainment world at large: Ticket-buyers want Events. It’s not enough for consumers to regularly attend good movies or nice Broadway shows or average concerts and then head home and go to bed.

“EXCLUSIVE: Snow White and the Seven… Politically-Correct Companions?” The studio first denied the images were authentic, then backtracked and said “the photos were from the production but were not official photos,” per The Daily Beast. It was already announced in January 2022 that following criticism from Dinklage and others, the film’s famous “seven dwarfs” would be referred to as “magical creatures” to “avoid reinforcing stereotypes.” But apparently seeing that put into practice in the set images, which featured a stand-in for Zegler’s Snow White for production’s placement and shot planning, riled up Disney’s right-wing fans anew.

After the success of 2023’s The Little Mermaid, Disney’s next live-action project is a remake of Snow White — but not everyone is excited about the new movie.

Rachel Zegler is the first Latina to portray Snow White in Disney’s highly anticipated live-action adaptation.

In a heartfelt post, Zegler shared four delightful throwback photos of herself dressed as various iconic Disney princesses.

published by the Daily Mail, featured Snow White accompanied not by seven little men but by actors of different “genders, ethnicities, and heights.” The Mail headline — “EXCLUSIVE: Snow White and the Seven … Politically-Correct Companions?” — quickly made waves online as conservatives criticized the “woke” update.Then, a Disney representative told the Daily Beast that the photos were “fake and not from our production.”Disney later reversed the claim and told the Daily Beast that the photos were from the set of “Snow White,” though they were not “official” photos.
