Comment on Box Office: ‘Barbie’ Struts to Record $26.1M Monday for Warner Bros.
Bop@lemmy.film 1 year agoFor me it’s anything a combo. It’s Greta Girwig, directing. It’s Margot Robbie it’s Ryan Gosling. It’s the campy nonserious vibe of the trailer and the marketing, and it’s because my girlfriend wants to see it. All that adds up and I’m very curious about this film.

I think when a studio invests as much as they have in a household name product with mass appeal, they do this kind of marketing. I’m not saying this with any sources or anything to back up, but thinking of how Star Wars and other similar titles will market their brand on anything and everything (including literal tangerines with star wars branding), I think this is the norm for something of this caliber and potential.
