By all accounts, Greta Gerwig‘s “Barbie” measured up to critical and commercial expectations, with the film currently sitting at #3 in 2023’s overall box office with $811 million. But will it hit a billion dollars, like star/producer Margot Robbie plugged it to studios? It still could, even if its numbers dropped hard this week.

series of posts on X, the app formerly known as Twitter, Blaire Erskine, a staff writer for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” recalled how, at first, some guests initially found he sounds funny — but soon let their annoyance be known.“Finally went to see ‘Barbie’ last night and the girls in front of me did this the whole movie lmao,” wrote the comedian alongside a video. In it, the jester-in-questions phone screen shone an apparent library of “fart sounds” with “over 1,000 farts.” “Sorry I should have clarified that the girls were in fact grown women,” said Erskine in a follow-up post.

But the actress and executive producer went one step further during the film's promotional tour this summer, dressing in a new, Barbie-inspired look for each red carpet event!Robbie and her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, collaborated on each iconic look, adding a thrilling new layer to the movie for lifelong fans of the legendary doll and her enviable fashions.There was this classic black custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown for 's Los Angeles premiere, which paid homage to «Solo in the Spotlight» Barbie from 1960 — even down to the red rose accent on the skirt, opera gloves and sheer handkerchief.For the European premiere in London, the pair paid tribute to iconic British designer Vivienne Westwood, with a couture gown modeled after 1990's «Enchanted Evening» Barbie.

movie was chock-full of Barbies and Kens — and even a Skipper, an Allan, and a Midge! However, one cameo fans may not have been expecting came during a climactic chase scene when Margot Robbie's Stereotypical Barbie is trying to escape Mattel headquarters.Barbie stumbles upon an odd room somewhere in the bowels of the office building, and finds a woman, played by actress Rhea Perlman, seated at a table in a nostalgic-looking kitchen set. The pair share some words and the mysterious woman aids in Barbie's escape — only to turn up at the end of the movie to help Barbie complete her journey into the Real World as a human being.The woman Perlman is playing isn't a random character, however.

Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" opened to a $155 million debut, but the movie – which received accolades for breaking the first weekend record for a film directed by a woman – has had its fair share of on-screen and off-screen controversies. Gerwig's tale, which was co-written with husband Noah Baumbach, follows Margot Robbie as the dream doll living in a dream world until she suffers a sudden existential crisis that leads her to question everything about her life.The movie has not been without its controversies though, from Ryan Gosling being deemed too old to play Ken, to the film ignoring its "core audience" to focus on LGBTQ stories, according to one faith-based review site.

Whoopi Goldberg is taking her love to the next level. The host of ABC's showed off her quirky footwear on Tuesday's broadcast, wearing white boots with a clear platform heel that was filled with decapitated Barbie doll heads.The style statement came as Goldberg, 67, was engaged in discussion about recent criticism of Greta Gerwig's blockbuster film, defending the movie against judgment from conservative columnist Ben Shapiro and Senator Ted Cruz.«It’s a movie!» she declared on the show. «It’s a movie about a doll!»She continued, «I thought y'all would be happy.

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.

Tuesday’s episode of “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg, 67, made a serious fashion statement as she debuted a pair of shoes filled with disembodied Barbie doll heads, encased in the platforms of her sky-high heels.The shoes appear to be the same ones made in 2013 by popular designer Jeffrey Campbell, which retailed for around $265 at the time, per StyleCaster. The pair that Goldberg was sporting featured a white leather base with a clear wedge heel, making the decapitated doll heads fully visible to any passersby.

just Allan” now.Much like the “Barbie” box office sales, eBay prices for Mattel’s Allan dolls have soared to the hundreds.Played by Michael Cera in the Greta Gerwig plastic spectacular, Allan was manufactured as Ken’s best bud in 1964, inspired by Barbara Handler’s husband, Allan Handler.But Allan’s selling point — that he could fit in all of Ken’s clothes — seemed to suggest to pearl-clutching parents that the plastic dolls had a queer relationship, according to Attitude.Thus, he was discontinued.Despite seemingly being revived in the ’90s as Alan — one “L” — the husband of Midge, Barbie’s pregnant BFF who was also discontinued in the early aughts, Allan’s character never really stuck.That is, until “Barbie” hit theaters.

Barbie movie, but the real team looks a little different.In Greta Gerwig’s new film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling – which has been praised for its feminist message and storytelling – the chair of the all-male board is played by Will Ferrell.The actor pops up in the film to “play the dim-witted CEO”, as NME wrote a four-star review.The real Chairman and CEO of Mattel, Ynon Kreiz, is indeed male, but does sit alongside female board members, too.According to the Mattel website, the real Board Of Directors currently consists of six men and five women, who comprise “global leaders from various fields and industries, with a broad and diverse range of experiences and perspectives required to provide independent governance and oversee the execution of our long-term strategy”.The feminist messaging of Barbie has been a key topic of discussion after opening weekend (July 21).America Ferrera, who plays Mattel executive Gloria, revealed that one of the most pivotal sequences of dialogue – about the double standards women face – took 30 to 50 takes to film.“It worked on the page, and so I definitely wanted to give that feeling to the audience as the person performing it— to make it resonate the way that it did with me when I read the words on the page,” Ferrera told Vanity Fair.The actor said that while it “felt like” 500 takes, it was probably closer to 30 to 50 “full runs”.In other Barbie news, it was recently revealed that the marketing budget was more than it cost to make the film.According to Variety, the marketing budget for the film was a staggering $150million (£117m), eclipsing the $145million (£113m) it cost to actually make the film itself.Elsewhere, Robbie has said she was teased by her friends for not having a
