Also its supposed to be something in the vein of The Truman Show, so the Barbie stuff is only the surface

Gonna be like Toy Story with more product placement a la Lego Movie

(Barbie and Ken escape Barbie world because Barbie wants “more” and Ken has an idealized view of it, both have some hardships but eventually find their place)

The trailer ends with the characters saying they are gonna “beach each other off”

This will definitely be a film that adults can enjoy lol

I’m sure myself and a lot of other dudes will be going on a movie date to see this with their girls, and there’s nothing wrong with that . Movies should be enjoyed by everyone

You guys make everything weird man

Bro is now projecting himself really hard

I’m not seeing this movie. Try again

This will flop deservedly. Barbie is a kids brand

So would adults going to see a GI Joe movie be weird?

Nah… this s*** gonna be huge.

Industry been regarding this as one of the best scripts in a long time. Actors were fighting over roles to get into this.

twin

Yes

July 21 is me & bruntz bday btw

...if yall even care

Is the dialogue about to start about millennial and Gen Z adults still being attached to things that are initially marketed to kids?

no but it will start the dialogue about how every movie needs an established brand attached to it

That’s the unfortunate state of Hollywood at the moment

Original ideas rarely succeed in theaters and IPs dominate

Original ideas that are successful end up becoming IPs

Gen Alpha season otw

GI Joe, TMNT, Transformers, Power Rangers all kid IPs that were made more adult oriented in movie adaptations

And unlike those I don’t even think this is supposed be a straight Barbie adaptation either

Super Mario Bros is an actual kids movie with 59 pages on here

I still like watching some kids movies like Sonic, Pixar, etc I don’t watch ever single one in theaters but when I do go I’m not paying attention to who’s filling up the other seats

Nah this def seems like it’s going to have Truman Show elements and stuff like that

Original ideas did succeed. Those are medium sized movies such as rom coms or comedies.

Those don't exist anymore cause of Transformers, Jurassic Park, MCU, and DCEU. So much money is funneled into to those projects to get as much money back.

So it's only low budget $50 mill movies or $300 mill movies being made. Nothing in between without an existing IP.

its not even IP's anymore just brands

Ticket to Paradise last year may have proved to Hollywood there’s still a market for rom coms

Keyword being did

Streaming does play a part in the near erasure of the mid-budget theatrical movie too

Hell, Air, something that you would think could cost $40 mil is budgeted at $90 mil which is not mid size. That’s a modest blockbuster budget. Obviously there’s other factors like casting and licensing that come into play but even then Air isn’t going to come close to Mario at the box office this weekend.

greta gerwig and film nerds?

greta gerwig makes good movies all of sudden?
