April 9Barbie
Director: Greta GerwigGenre: Comedy | Runtime: Cast: Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Will Ferrell, Helen Mirren
Released on the same day as Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie created a cinematic event like none other we’d seen in history, thanks to Barbenheimer, which saw countless cinema-goers watching the films as a double-feature. Barbie grossed over $1.4 billion at the box office, and studios have since tried in vain to manufacture another Barbenheimer-like event.
Barbie lives in the blissful matriarchal society of Barbieland alongside all the other iterations of Barbie and their Ken boyfriends. But when Barbie’s world begins to fall apart, she sets out for the real world, accompanied by her friend Ken.
