There were LOTS of pre-ticket sales for the first weekend of Barbie. Everyone thought that it was a light-hearted family event. Now that we know that was all bullshit, the pre-ticket sales and actually attendance SHOULD be disastrous for any future weekends.
I hope it dies a quick and painful death.
It's a movie about living in a world where everything seems nice and good, then waking up to the real world which is much more sinister than you expected. Yeah, nothing of value there
Hm, the audience score is high on it

But it's from "verified ratings" on audience score. Is this a "fortified" score?
https://www.metacritic.com/movie/barbie shows very mixed audience reviews
I don't trust rottentomatoes scores at all anymore.
Propped.
So many people are asleep and this is just one example how people don't want to face what is really going on. I think that until the market crashes or something that personally impacts them or their family, they will stay in their own little world.
My 13 year sold said it was weird and not for children!
My 17 yr old daughter liked it
Not for kids, that is correct 👍🏻
If the right wanted to make the woke culture industry’s head explode, they should have embraced and co-opted the Barbie movie, particularly Ken’s enthusiasm for patriarchy and his ‘Fight Club’ style attempt to overthrow the Barbieland matriarchy—an ingenious and surprising subplot in the movie, actually. Could you imagine the Vice and Atlantic articles bemoaning the “alt-right embrace of Barbie”? It could have been made toxic and a retrospect embarrassment for the left, like ‘Juno’ which has been correctly reevaluated as a pro-life classic and disowned by its leftist writer for exactly that reason. As it stands, Ben Shapiro, for example, is being mocked for his fist-shaking hatred for the movie, and his reaction has actually galvanized support for the movie. He should have shocked everyone with a conservative re-interpretation of the movie and a wholesale endorsement. Imagine the meltdown! Has no one read “The Art of War”?
I doubt it. I’ve seen the movie several times in theaters at this point, and audiences of all ages seem to LOVE it. The audience howled throughout the whole movie at all the jokes and sight gags. It features a very witty script and a lot of pure cinematic spectacle. Its design is pretty astonishing, honestly. This movie is gonna be a critical and commercial juggernaut at least for the rest of the month…
handshake checks out.
Did you go home to sleep between viewings?
Just being honest about the broad popularity of this particular movie. This is gonna have legs for the rest of the summer.
