In the battle of Barbenheimer, only one major motion picture can rule the double feature — and she’s dazzling in pretty pink plastic.Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” raked in $22.3 million at the box office in previews, compared to $10.5 million garnered by “Oppenheimer” ahead of the films’ official debut on Friday, Variety reports.Despite Gerwig’s fears that the hyper-feminine flick would end her career, “Barbie” has turned into a summer smash.At the box office, the film out-performed the former record-holder “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” which earned $17.5 million in previews in May.The Post has reached out to representatives for Gerwig, 39, for comment.“Barbie” is expected to reach $100 million at the box office in its opening weekend, while Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” is only anticipated to haul half of that, an estimated $50 million, per Variety.Eager audiences have long planned to view both back to back for a whopping five hours of screen time.

Ryan Gosling’s Ken may play second fiddle in the new ‘Barbie’ movie, but according to Margot Robbie, who plays the titular character in the summer blockbuster, “The Notebook” heartthrob’s lips were the real star of the film, which pulled down $22.3 million ahead of opening weekend — all without a single smooch between the two leads. Robbie admitted to People in June that not being able to kiss Gosling on-screen “didn’t feel like a win to me.”Robbie’s friends took the news even harder than her, having high hopes from the beginning that the producer of the film could work some on-screen magic in her favor.

Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig cannot wait to welcome moviegoers into the land of .«I am just so excited,» said Robbie, who stars as the titular doll, when the cast of the upcoming epic sat down with ET's Denny Directo. «We're at the point of sharing it with the world. There's always that thing when you make a movie and you love it and you care about it so much and you hope that people are gonna like it and even see it.

Margot Robbie has revealed that she once faked her own death to scare a babysitter.Robbie, who stars in Greta Gerwig’s recently released Barbie movie, shared the amusing (yet slightly disturbing) story during an interview with BBC Radio 2.“We got a new babysitter and I wanted my old babysitter back, Talia, who was like 16 and I thought she was so cool,” the actress told presenter Zoe Ball. “And then we got this much older lady in and I was just not happy about it, and she told me to go have a bath and I didn’t want to and she was very cranky and I thought, ‘I’m gonna show you’.”Robbie continued: “And so I got a big kitchen knife and the ketchup and I sprawled out naked on the tiles, covered myself in ketchup and put the kitchen knife [near her body].

the New York Times. “Just come do the ‘Barbie’ movie, I’ll buy you a present every day.”Gosling revealed that the appealing offer “started as a joke in a text.”“There was suddenly this pink present from Barbie to Ken, every day, for a very long shoot. It felt unsustainable,” the “La La Land” actor told the outlet.

At long last, Greta Gerwig‘s “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan‘s “Oppenheimer” hit theaters for the summer movie event of 2023: “Barbenheimer.” And advance predictions say both films will do very well at the box office this weekend. Critics love both movies, too, which matters a lot more.

Margot Robbie not only stars in the upcoming Barbie, she’s also a producer. Which means, like her character, she often got a little carried away.

Margot Robbie is not only the star of “Barbie”, she’s also a producer on the hugely anticipated new movie, through her LuckyChap Entertainment production company.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director As a producer of “Barbie,” it was up to Margot Robbie to convince a studio that her vision for the film would lead to financial success. No wonder the Oscar nominee flat out said during pitch meetings that she believed a “Barbie” movie could bring in $1 billion at the worldwide box office. Such success depended on landing writer-director Greta Gerwig, Robbie stressed to execs. “I think my pitch in the green-light meeting was the studios have prospered so much when they’re brave enough to pair a big idea with a visionary director,” Robbie said in an interview with Collider. “And then I gave a series of examples like, ‘dinosaurs and [Steven] Spielberg’ – pretty much naming anything that’s been incredible and made a ton of money for the studios over the years. And I was like, ‘And now you’ve got Barbie and Greta Gerwig.’ And I think I told them that it’d make a billion dollars, which maybe I was overselling, but we had a movie to make, okay?”

Margot Robbie, the Spice Girls were no feminist wannabes.In fact, the two-time Oscar nominee attributes some of her own ideas about feminism — which she and director Greta Gerwig explore in the much-anticipated “Barbie” movie, out July 21 — to the 1990s British girl group.“The Spice Girls changed everything and dictated my version of second-wave feminism,” Robbie, 33, told Rolling Stone.“It’s like, ‘Oh my God, they wear little sparkly dresses and push-up bras and then have a girl gang? That’s what I want to be!’”Growing up in the ’90s, the Aussie-born Robbie also had a pink passion for the Aqua bop “Barbie Girl.” At the urging of the “Babylon” actress, the 1997 hit was included on the “Barbie” soundtrack — reworked as a “Barbie World” duet featuring rappers Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice.“I was like, ‘Greta, how are we going to incorporate this song? We can’t do a Barbie movie and not have a nod to Aqua’s ‘Barbie Girl.’ It has to be in there,’” Robbie told a reporter.
