I'm very angry this movie was successful.
>successful
its just blackrock money laundering
think about it, do you know a single person who went to the movie theaters to see it?
exactly
All the women I know did.
I SAID PEOPLE NOT prostituteS
god damn it
But almost all western women are prostitutes anon.
Incel
When some feminazi, dyke, troony and/or one of their SJW white guilt numale closet homosexual lapdogs calls you an "INCEL", " CHUD" or use their generic npc Twitter buzzword insults such as "have sex" or "touch grass", it's because they can't form a coherent thought let alone a counter argument, it's because women are nothing more than three holes which is why even the ugliest, fattest, poorest amongst them can get laid whenever they like.
Withholding sex from men is the only power they have. Without that they have nothing and are nothing but vapid shallow herpes riddled prostitutes who think that sex solves everything because they ride through life on easy mode by using their looks and bodies to get what they want which is why you know a woman created the term " incel" because of this while they're narcissists' who think the universe revolves around them and make everything about themselves therefore if a man expresses his problems she thinks that it's really about her and he's only mad because she won't have sex with him as sex is the only unit of currency women understand and enjoy shaming men who are unattractive, poor or of low social statu.
And the so-called "men" who use those words are even worse because they're virtue signaling numale cucks who think that they'll get some of that sweet college/university hipster chick pussy when those women will be fricking Chad Thunderwiener and only settle for them once they're looking to nest with a beta orbiter provider after they're done riding the wiener carousel!
No one self-identifies as "involuntary celibate". It's something roasties project onto men who don't put up with women's shit. As if to say "oh, if you had sex you'd agree with me and give in to my demands". This is because women think they can get anything they want with sex and believe this because their white knight lapdog betas would do anything for a pity frick!!!FACT!!!
Didn’t read, chud
>Didn’t read, chud
Yes you did because otherwise you wouldn't have responded roastie!!!FACT!!!
I didn't read either. Three words in and I bounced.
Stop responding to pasta
Because you can't read.
That's how stupid modern thots are why defend them?
So you pay your mother to love you, anon?
holy cope batman
I went to the theatres recently and it was jam packed with women going to see barbie. They were even dressed in pink.
Damn that is pathetic. 40 year old roasties finally go out for a movie and it's for fricking Barbie.
My girlfriend has taken myself, her mom, and three of her friends to this movie. On the opening weekend I literally saw nothing but droves of pink wearing women and girls.
I saw it. My mother and brother have both seen it. About half the people at work have either seen it or were planning to this weekend. It has been years since I've heard anybody shouting " no spoilers" in real life, but that seemed to be the thing to say in my office this week.
People who work in an office aren't even human beings so it doesn't matter.
Counterpoint you are a bald neet who will die childless and unloved
I am not bald. I AM NOT BALD!
>Counterpoint I have a full head of hair and several now adult children and will die unloved just as I lived. Everything you think is wrong.
Well, we've still got money and when we spend money on seeing a movie it contributes to the box office figures.
>You aren’t a human being if you watch this movie
>You also aren’t
>And you!
>And you! You too!
>EVERYONE BUT ME ISN’T HUMAN REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Careful there edgelord, you’re gonna have a nice day one day
GO *COUGH* WOKE
GET *COUGH* BROKE
Bro? The cope is that the movie was a redpilled one and this was /ourwin/
THE COPE
Seriously Black person? The movie is absolutely selling out. Im not even going to claim its because its good. Its jusr become a cultural phenomenon. With that whole barbenhammer shit but barbie managed to linger way better than oppenheimer (no surprise). I mean there's the whole fricking trend of people dressing up to see it.
Its a women movie..so no, I dont know anybody that have seen it
just went today and it was packed. cope
This. Saw Oppenheimer yesterday and the auditorium was less than 50% occupancy probably. Went and saw Barbie today and it was jam fricking packed. Im sure of it is probably due to the time slots (Oppenheimer started at 5 PM whereas Barbie started at 8) but still.
It can depend, my favorite theater today had a very packed showing for Oppenheimer but being a much longer movie they had to keep less screens for it. Barbie has screens all day long since the morning.
Not knowing much about Mattel before watching Barbie I got the feeling they're good sports and can take a joke. If they really want to start a toy movie universe and replace superheroes that could be an asset. They even slipped a Snyder Cut joke for the Warner property side.
I noticed the Snyder cut joke. Immediately thought someone from the Barbie writing team must frequent Cinemaphile seemed like a very specific reference
There was a joke I caught that was literally something I'd expect on Cinemaphile, and never retell in real life. No one else seemed to register that there was a joke.
but enough about the sound of freedom
kek i'm convinced that movie is actually a psyop or some shit. I looked into my theater and it was totally empty and I see they have this autistic "pay it forward" campaign on their site to buy tickets for other people hahahaa
It's all paid tickets and empty theaters.
My gf has seen it three times, once with me, once with her coworkers and once with her friends all dressed up. With popcorn and drinks that's like a hundred euros spent on this flick
So she saw it once with you. Once with her bull. And once with her other bull? Did you at least get to clean up after him when she got home?
What a dumb c**t. Why do European "men" sit down to pee?
Are you moronic
b***h even I saw it. And I'm the most racist guy in my family.
literally everyone i have asked has seen it
EVERY IS A LE HECKIN BLACKROCK WEF CONSPIRACY!!1
>think about it, do you know a single person who went to the movie theaters to see it?
Black person I went to see it on the first Monday and the theater was completely full of couples and teenagers dressed in pink and kenup. And I live in an ultra conservative area.
I watched it with three friends all wearing fun pink clothing items. It was a fun experience and I had a good time.
Not everyone is a terminally online NWO-obsessed schizo you homosexual.
Keep coping, seething, malding and needing.
>I had fun consooming propaganda
have a nice day
my sister said that every friend of hers went. Theaters are packed
>all these seething replies
reminder that Klaus Schwab mentioned an army of digital soldiers was needed to correct the record on the internet or something like that
Pretty much every girl under 25 that I know.
OK Disney
I don't care that it's successful, but I do care that the woke crowd is dunking on us.
Again we had Joker. So it balances it all out
Joker was a piece of shit
Everyone dunks on you all the time, chud.

why are zoomers so fricking stupid?
Don't worry it will be forgotten very quickly. This is mostly due to the power of marketing.
Because that worked just as well for Snakes on a Plane? Hello 90% box office drop bro.
Can't wait for the marvels to make $3 billion, right sisters!?
seethe incel
It's a glorified Mattel promo, it became successful at the moment when people started to dress up in pink
>It's a glorified Mattel promo, it became successful at the moment when people started to dress up in pink
Yeah exactly. I mean this is really the chief thrust of the movie: to make Barbies popular with feminists so they could sell more. I mean they very very lightly satirize the Mattel CEO ("how dare you say I care about profits!") but yeah this is about Mattel trying to get more generations of women to buy Barbie for their daughters
Good. Stay mad mindless chud.
Hahah, non-Americans are so subservient.
>GRETA GERWIG IS FRICKING FINISHED AFTER I MAKE THIS SNARKY SEXIST POST ON THE ASSCRACK OF THE INTERNET
>80% SECOND WEEKEND DROP CONFIRMED
Is this going to surpass Black Panther for biggest tv gets destroyed moment?
58% drop vs Thurs/Fri combined domestic take
40% drop if comparing with just last Fri.
https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1077904129/?ref_=bo_hm_rd
It will make a profit if the actual budget + marketing was $295M. if it was slightly higher, but has a strong Sat/Sun this weekend plus doing around 5-10M on week days, it will still make a small profit. Still very far from the coveted $1B.
if it makes $50M profit, that's a 16% return on $300M, which is not bad but "not great". everyone involved already made off with millions like the smart bandits they are.
What the frick do you mean "small profit"? It will easily rack up 700M before next weekend. Then 800-900M on the following weeks, I'm not sure it will get much higher than 1B but if you discard the possibility you're just crazy or coping.
it's dropping around 40% each day compared with opening. it has legs but won't clear $700M as you predict. patterns are non-linear. you expect the same momentum to continue after 2nd week. we'll see who is right. i have no skin in the game, there's no way to bet on the actual final number so we're just shitposting here. but i don't think it will be above $700M. so yes, small profit of $50-100M. that's still better than taking a massive loss like disney is taking with haunted mansion and indy5.
>we're just shitposting here
Not all of us are, but thank you for the sincerity and the confession.
Do you really think 40% dropping means shit for a movie that has been making more than $20 million daily before its second weekend was over? And do you realize comparing Barbie to movies like Indiana Jones and Haunted Mansion which have a much lesser life expectancy based on what everything people with eyes can see just makes you sound like an idiot?
>has legs but won't clear $700M as you predict.
Dumb mother fricker
i'm dumb for many other unrelated reasons but in this case, you know i'm going to be right. time will tell.
why are you so mad? have patience. one of us will be right. and if the word "right" upsets you then yes one of us will be correct. i may be be wrong. but you think in such linear terms. you already assume that the $20M daily will continue, in a linear straight line. when in fact it is curving down, approx 40% drop vs opening week and the drop will continue for 3rd week. you think this will continue making $20M daily during 3rd week? you are the idiot then. again, let's wait and see. you're overly excited that your potential flop is not flopping and will cross break-even this weekend. congrats on not losing money.
What am I fricking reading? You sound like an idiotic and gibberish horror movie experiment, just link me the Barbie movie budget and then the current Barbie movie box office, just to take a break from your fever dream posts,
homosexual you have to have brain damage to think it won't cross 700mil this weekend. It's at 578mil right now. Saturday and Sunday are still to come while the international for the ending weekend hasn't been added at all.
Think about it. They were expecting 90mil Dom for the weekend. They have 30 of that already so that's another 60mil to come. Now just assume the foreign will be the same for the weekend (it's going to be higher) and then add that up. It's going to be at 730mil at least
Now adjust for inflation and israeli money laundering/cooking the books and you got a film that lost ~3 billion dollars but successfully convinced millions of young girls it is okay to hate men and kill their babies and sold a bunch of plastic dolls that will eventually end up in a landfill and ultimately the food and water supply creating more mental ill trannies who are extremely susceptible to consumerist propaganda and will be your eternal pharma paypig. Mission accomplished. Always think of the long game.

In this case, I think you may have misspelt that slightly
This is such pathetic gaslighting. Cinemaphile was always a pro Barbie board because of Ryan and because they trailers made it look a light hearted comedy

Why is DoA on this list?
The new DOA game had less bikinis and lingerie, as well as the default costumes being less sexy and boob size reductions.
To make it a "competitive fighter" rather than a boobie fighter. Which it has always been? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I will never understand why people with a good grift will shoot themselves in the foot like that.

Wow it's almost like a secret cabal of the people you dislike doesn't own the world and every group has triumphs and failures
I don't understand that picture, all the movies on the right side under the smug söyjak were abject failures. Strange World is one of the biggest flops of all time to name an easy one
I think everything listed there is supposed to be a "woke flop" to disprove the Smug basedjack saying woke stuff is successful. I'm not sure why the image is split up, it would make more sense if the few success woke movies were on the left then the counterexamples were on the right.
It's also kind of stretching what's "woke" too. Most of them make sense but others are kind of headscratchers. DmC was fricking garbage but was it really woke? it came out in like 2013. I don't get how Mad Max was woke either. Shang Chi didn't even bomb also not sure how it was woke. I don't get how Telltale was woke either, they failed because they mass produced low quality shit. Their most successful game was also the one starring the black dude.

You actually see woke politically correct culture slowing down? Because I don't, it's getting worse despite some of its movies flopping.
>You actually see woke politically correct culture slowing down? Because I don't, it's getting worse despite some of its movies flopping.
Woke culture is getting stronger because it's reaching the point where it can actually churn out some semi-decent media this time around. People like the open diversity in movies like Spiderverse, and Barbie is still selling well despite people learning about its feminist messaging. And the right isn't really countering it very well either. The fact that Ben Shapiro is the "face" of anti-Barbie sentiment really doesn't do the right any favors.
Yeah that's my opinion as well, since it's like 90% of culture/media of course some of it will flop, a lot of it will, but it's completely dominating at this point and even the people who hate it consume it because there is almost nothing else.
Quads confirm Shapiro's face could have made a cameo as one of the lowest ranking members in Will Ferrell CEO character's board.
My friend got caught jerking off to it on Saturday and he’s being held without bail because when he ran from the cops he flung semen at them. That’s weird I thought it was a feminist movie but when he called me from jail he said that it was a total jerk off film, and then the line cut. Is there something about this movie they’re not telling us who would never see it?
It's very sexual.
>a total jerk off film
He needed your support anon, and where were you? I hope you will bail him out.

your kind of a weirdo if you haven't been to see it
Barbillion is happening
Mario was never in competition with barbie wtf.
who ever made that pic is a moron. should have been compared it with floppenheimer.
Mario already made a billion though? What is this schizopost?
Maybe to overthrow it as highest grossing movie of the year?
>Being this new
hari nef still won't be a real woman though and her black bf is a confirmed, public homo. it's all very funny if you take a step back and refuse to get pulled into the drama. another good litmus test, just ask someone if they saw the barbie movie. if they did and loved it, they're basically an NPC simp with horrible taste. it's a good sign you can take advantage of them.
>but it was a cultural phenomenon, i just love watching movies and participating in American culture!!!
again, signs of low IQ crowd-follower behavior.
Aren't you following Cinemaphiles crowd tho
It should be disneyshills the ones seething in this meme, they're the ones larping as /misc/ because WB is now mogging them in both streaming and theaters
Warner and Universal will probably have the biggest movies of the year with Barbie and Mario as the only billion dollar movies of the year so maybe a deep revision of this pic would be needed Heck, Universal's Oppenheimer could probably end uo making more box office than franchise sequels from all kinds of studios, superhero movies or not. Food for thought.
This needs to be updated into the 700 worry category. Though it might be worth just updating it to 1Bn by the end of next week.
Would you want a mojo dojo casa house as a kid? I hope they make more stuff for Ken. Maybe if they make the movie dream house those mojo dojo elements could be a swappable bonus.
Thanks for accessing that wiki page in your latest thread
now I'll be able to find you OP :^)
What?
It's not the first time a feminist film has been successful: Titanic was even more so and did bigger numbers than any film in history outside of Gone with the Wind (a feminist by '30s standards film). But given recent history it bucks a pattern established by BoP, Fembusters, and post 1st week TLJ Star Wars wherein overtly feminist films absolutely bomb at the box office.
My theory is that positive buzz on Cinemaphile about Gosling + really good marketing as usual by WB + the aging 30+ spinster/beta bux contingent + a big woman marketed property is the reason.
It's only successful because it and Oppenheimer are the ONLY half decent looking movies to be released this year
People want to go to the movies but there's nothing to watch
What are some anticipated incel movies? Can they reach the huge success of Barbie?
Joker 2. Dunc part 2.
>either of those
>incel
lmao
fricking wbisraelite marketers already giving away their shill tactics
>Denis Vellinueve
>ever making an incel movie
why does Cinemaphile worship his movies when he's brought into the "women suffer more" propaganda just like the rest of them?
>It well very likely make a billion at the global box office.
Nothing short of a full world war or mass lockdowns can stop that from happening now. It's domestic box office is currently ahead of Mario despite that having two extra days and it's been doing better than Maverick daily since Tuesday.
Getting a billion isn't a question anymore. The question is "Can it beat Mario?"
It's going to comfortably blow past a billion and will threaten two.
If you've paid ANY attention to American dating dynamics and the present state of gender relations this isn't a surprise, we're seeing a crisis unlike anything since the fall of 10th century Arabia. The propaganda lulls people into a false sense of security so they don't know how royally and monumentally fricked we are in almost every possible way.
I reckon it'll hit 1.3-1.4
That's what I'm thinking as well
>completely beat Little Mermaid in just one week
Unfathomably based. It took LM 3 months to make as much as Barbie did IN A WEEK.
And to think, all they had to do was cast a white redhead and they could have made at least 1.3bil and god knows how much in merchandise
Moviegoers have spoken I guess. Barbie, Super Mario and Top Gun have so far performed better than any Disney superhero/woke shit has in years.
We not counting Barbie as woke here bro? I want to hear it from your mouth
It’s half woke/half based, I don’t think there’s been a movie like this before.
>trannie propaganda movie beat blackwashing movie

Sure thing buddy boy.
Everyone combo'd in Oppenheimer to boost sales for that too.
cope. sorry people dont like captain marvel, mouseboy.
>best picture
no
>best actress
no
>best actor and best costume design
yes, for Gosling on both counts
But chuds told me the Barbenheimer hype would die off after the first weekend when people realized how feminist and woke it was! Why do they do this to me and themselves?
People just want something that isn't superheros.
They're THE movies of the summer. The movies everyone wants to be into. There is no damn competition. And the marketing campaign was simply the best since Avengers Endgame.
>marketing campaign
you mean blatant shilling and troll-baiting?
>Blatant shilling
I'll give you a clue on what "marketing" means
So what was the marketing budget?
How will we cope, Cinemaphile? A bunch of mystery meat and troony tourists that desperately want our approval keep telling is we got BTFO yet they really want us to like this wokeslop?
why would it drop bad?
it has a high cinemascore and nothing else good is in theaters
OOOHH WAIT only morons on Cinemaphile thought it would drop hard
only a literal fricking moron would think it was going to drop hard
Those post daily including right now.
I saw some 90% drop prediction which was so moronic I hope it was bait.
There are good movies still in theaters and promising ones coming up soon but Barbie is the first Black Panther all over again, it will probably swallow the competition for months.
im a chudcel and im about to watch it
It will reach a billion. All normies are seeing it on brand name alone. And many if them lack critical thinking to see what the movie is pushing on them, it's quite literally just another course of goyslop with a familiar brand that has been burned into their subconscious.
And what exactly was it pushing anon?
Women are victims and need men to help them who should be subservient to them while tolerating all their bullshit.
you have autism
despite the united states adding a couple million of people every year legally, and a couple million illegally
ticket sales in terms of raw numbers have declined since 2002
TWENTY PLUS YEARS OF CINEMA LOSING INTEREST
thats is why all cinema psyoppers will focus on non inflation adjusted gross profits instead, in their mind that somehow counteracts the fact that there is less physical humans occupying chairs, in a country that has more humans than ever before
What are you going on about? Is anyone in denial that cinema/theaters are dying? Its a combination of streaming and younger generations watching less tv and movies in general.
Can someone please explain what the frick this movie was trying to tell me?
you need no woman to be happy, be happy by being yourself, you are enough. It's a highly pro-men movie
>matriarchy bad
>patriarchy bad
>the real world is complicated and getting better
>life can suck for men too, and unlike women they can frick shit up if pushed too far
>women face issues
>most of those issues are also faced by men
>be yourself
>you are kenough
>being human is a responsibility, a choice, and a blessing; cherish it
>>life can suck for men too, and unlike women they can frick shit up if pushed too far
so...women don't have the capability to do bad things? lol
men bad
men can effortlessly establish a patriarchy by politely asking for it
if women and men are happy the answer is to brainwash all the women into being misandrists and overthrow democracy
the apex of womanhood is going to a gynologist and having a vegana
Reminder even Francis Ford Coppola is happy Barbenheimer worked. The Future is Now.
the movie probably would've been successful no matter what the plot was. i wish the entire thing took place in a barbie world and the conflict was against soulless corporate cash grabs and the media on both sides treated it like the left treated the joker only for it to be equally benign if not more so
Why did Mattel let themselves be portrayed like they were in this movie?
Well fellow chuds how's the scoreboard?
We got
>The little niggress flopping
>Stronk girl indiana jones being the biggest bomb of all time
Buuut we lost:
>Girlboss peach, the movie making 1.4b
>Barbie about to cross a bill
I'm kinda reluctant to include spiderverse because spiderman always sells irregardless of quality, wokeness, etc.
I say The Marvels should settle it.
and mario was always going to sell too
>irregardless
>I'm kinda reluctant to include spiderverse because spiderman always sells irregardless of quality, wokeness, etc.
Spider-Verse might not have as much box office as Mario and Barbie but should still be considered a shock to the system. Normies didn't know comics Miles for shit and an animated flick starring him and multiverse Spider-people that weren't in live Marvel movies wasn't going to make a billion dollars. Yet the movie was beloved, won an Oscar, and the sequel is reaping the rewards right now, making a lot more than the previous one. It was big enough at least another movie is coming to complete the trilogy, with twice the Miles Morales.
>girlboss peach
>movie ends with mario and luigi saving the day
?
shut up
Guys it’s fine we had Joker. Girls can have their Barbie
I feel the same energy about the two. Both normie men and incels watched joker en masse, so did normie women and femcels with barbie.
Yeah it balances it out
Joker was also a lefty film though? It was eat the rich and mental health awareness and starred not one but TWO strong black female characters. Almost all modern films are left wing, successful or not. Barbie's only notable for how far much further they took it than usual.
How was Joker a lefty movie ?
It's main points of political advocacy were:
>rich capitalist elites bad (thomas wayne)
>people in poverty are suffering debilitating mental illnesses and need more support
>Arthur's therapist and crush, two of the film's few unambiguously good people, are black women.
Arthur kills her and tick the rich tbh. You don’t have to be a lefty to hate em
>You don’t have to be a lefty to hate em
True, but the film was made by lefties. Arthur killing her isn't at all portrayed as "good", Joker was inspired by taxi driver and is about a man being driven to irredeemable psychopathy by a fricked up capitalist society.
>Cinemaphile then movie
Do you remember how the media acted when Joker came out ?
Not even the media. I remember my kinoplex literally had armed security all over the place when Joker came out. Im talking ARs and body armor. The whole 9 yards.
Yes, it was despised by left wing media because right wing audiences felt represented by it in spite of the movie's left wing political slant. This exposed the surface level dogmatism of many left wing media outlets as they bashed a movie whose messaging they would've agreed with if they'd taken a closer look.
>This exposed the surface level dogmatism of many left wing media outlets as they bashed a movie whose messaging they would've agreed with if they'd taken a closer look.
And look how the left is attacking Sound of Freedom, a movie about child trafficking, calling it right wing conspiracy Qanon propaganda because it stars and was created by white straight men while they supported Cuties because the two producers (both white) hired some black muslim woman to pretend that she made the movie so they could use her as a shield from criticism and it worked as every left winger came running to its defense like the gullible morons that they are!!!FACT!!!
Bringing up Cuties doesn't really work because the left successfully memory-holed it. If Cuties is ever brought up, 99.9% of the time it's a right-winger trying to play gotcha. Progressive spaces almost never mention Cuties, and when they do, they insist that nobody on the left ever defended it ever, which obviously isn't true but you'll never get the left to admit it. But the fact remains that any mention of Cuties has been buried and it actually worked in getting most people to forget about it.
Cuties is a criticism of the degenerate society we live in, in a somewhat decent society it would never have been made but that's the world we live in.
>Bringing up Cuties doesn't really work because the left successfully memory-holed it. If Cuties is ever brought up, 99.9% of the time it's a right-winger trying to play gotcha.
Actually it does work because it shows their outright hypocrisy as any and all criticism of the movie was immediately attributed to white straight men, who they hate, and did the same thing when those Snow White pics of the cast walking in a field, calling them fakes created by conservatives!!!FACT!!!
Thats because the gay its about and the lead actor do spread q anon homosexualry
Oh how the mighty have fallen since the glory days of AICN talkback
We don't know anything about what his crush is actually like. Everything that occurs between the two is a delusion.
By all appearances she's a regular decent person that Arthur latches onto after she's nice to him once. We know almost nothing, but what we do know is unambiguously good.
So is Murray in Arthur's eyes until he puts Arthur's stand up on his show. If that woman was having a bad day and didn't say "hello" to him or something he'd probably see her as awful.
The crush is just a ghost of a character and the therapist is devoted but completely inefectual.
>people in poverty are suffering debilitating mental illnesses and need more support
Come the frick on anon...
>devoted but completely inefectual.
yeah, and her ineffecuality is chalked up to the government not giving a shit about either of them. the point of her character is she represents society's insufficient attempt to pull people back from the brink, there's only do much they can do if all they have is devotion to their clients.
I don't see how you can miss this messaging. Arthur's moms fixation on Thomas Wayne also echoes King of Comedy, celebrity culture, etc. The movie is disgusted by the enormous chasm between the moneyed class and the peasants, when they're all just humans. It's a pretty left wing sentiment.
>Barbie close to a billion
it needs 2 billion to break even
>it needs 2 billion to break even
see u at barbie 2
>that post credits scene where Ken decides he doesnt also want to be human with Barbie after he is shown clips of men dying in trenches and getting mowed down on the beaches of Normandy
What exactly did they mean by this?
How much do you think they invested in marketing this movie?
White women soo desperately want Barbie to be their Joker so they can cultivate victimhood status in the oppression olympics.
The difference is that Arthur was living in poverty and facing hardship due to physical and psychological disabilities inflicted upon him as a child as a result of abuse at the hands of his "Mother" showing that it's women that create people like him and women couldn't stand it because it went against their narrative of "white male privilege" which is why they tried to incite theater shootings and shows just how evil and rotten they are.
Meanwhile Barbie is about a woman who has a first world problem existential crisis because she's now post-wall while it's symbolic that things start going bad in her world as she's now getting older and can't maintain her life of luxury and leisure anymore because she never had any value beyond her looks which are depleting by the second along with her financial status as a result of no longer being able to manipulate simps into supporting her..
The rise of the Ken's is a metaphor for how these women see themselves getting older with their options slowly dwindling and create this fantasy in their minds that they're now being dominated by a patriarchal system of evil white straight men which only suddenly began to control their lives once they started pushing 30 and use it as an excuse as to why they didn't make something of themselves because of their narcissistic sense of self-entitlement where they think because they want something it means that they deserve it.
Tricking the Ken's into fighting each other is also meant to represent women undermining society to their benefit and the detriment of stability because of women's sociopathic need to create drama by inserting themselves into anything men create and/or care about that takes attention away from them and destroying it as they have done in the real world with movies, tv shows, videogames, comicbooks and western civilization in general.
The movie literally fricking says the patriarchy is something they invented at the end. But its far left propoganda right?
So you agree "patriarchy theory" is far left radical nonsense that shouldn't be taken seriously by mainstream society?
Im just saying what the movie said. But yes the idea of a patriarchy, especially nowadays, is a joke.
women rights was nothing but a mistake
Your mom not getting that abortion was a mistake.
that's right, prochoice sisters!
More embarrassed than ever for the western world, it's only going to get worse.
It is cool a non superhero epic movie is doing this well and right now too. It has to be because how bizarre and weird it looks
Why are people acting like this is the most heavy handed woke movie ever? It didnt feel that heavy handed imo.
It's pretty preachy
Whole movie is not even 2 hours long including all the dancing and monologuing, you probably just have a short trigger.
just the ugly betty speech. everything else was fine.
>aside from the woke stuff, it isn't woke
Yeah and aside from my racism, i'm not racist
I'm glad it's doing well just because it's causing Disney to eat shit. I can't remember when they had a year this bad not counting covid
Barbie is actually an extremely based movie for Sigma Chad's. It teaches men not to simp, and to manifest their Kenergy which they discover on the Battlefield. Knergy is just the American Westernized version of Vril energy. And it also teaches angry 3rd wife feminists who hate Barbie anyways to go visit their gynecologists.
>ultra woke feminist movie
>redpills men that they are kenough and don't need women
Too bad it won't actually make a decent profit as its box office will be used to offset the Flash which lost them a few hundred million!!!FACT!!!

If this film somehow surpasses Mario, humanity is fricked.
>If this film somehow surpasses Mario, humanity is fricked
Humanity is already fricked, this dumb movie doesn't change that in any way.
the fact someone is using one films success vs another to predict humanity is pretty sad. We need water desalinization projects world wide to water crops to feed people in the upcoming decades, mario and barbie have nothing to do with that.
I want to see a sequel where she has to deal with living as a human. How is she going to react the first time her bowels loosen and she shits and pisses all over herself because she doesn't know how to hold in waste matter until she can use a toilet while she won't know it works as we can assume that she's never taken a shit!!!FACT!!!
>still won't touch Gone with the Wind
Are we really letting a feminist 'men bad' movie reach a billion? What can we even do as men?
I don't feel safe criticizing the movie at all in my socials, it just means all the women single you out as an incel while they continue to get high on their girlpower narrative.
President Barbie says, not only do I have to kill you, but I have to take your soul. Woke magic. Fricking woke magic, hombre!
But you know what? I tell you what I believe: Barbie happens!
>Are we really letting a feminist 'men bad' movie reach a billion? What can we even do as men?
The movie's message was "patriarchy bad", not "men bad". Yeah, some of the jabs at men got a little mean-spirited at times, but Ken being treated as an afterthought in Barbieland was very clearly portrayed as a negative thing, and Ken was written to be a sympathetic antagonist who had an understandable motive rather than a one-dimensional villain.
>The movie's message was "patriarchy bad", not "men bad"
the cope is reaching new levels
>The movie's message was "patriarchy bad", not "men bad".
This is massive fricking cope coming from feminists who view men like conservatives view black people
>uhh actually i'm criticizing black culture, not blacks
analogous to feminist rhetoric of "patriarchy"
>blacks did this to themselves
analogous to feminist rhetoric on "and WHO is doing this?" whenever men bring up their struggles
>The movie's message was "patriarchy bad", not "men bad".

Exactly. If anything Ken was the more human and sympathetic character vs Barbie. He wanted Barbie to feel his mistreatment and neglect.
>a sympathetic antagonist
He was absolutely written as an anti-hero, not an antagonist. He barely has any impact on Barbie. Her foil is herself. Ken's foil was himself. The villain was stupid petty bullshit. The movie effectively has two plots with two protagonists. One just gets more screentime.
Is this movie saving WB after all the DC failures?
Yes
The best possible response is to literally roll with it. Identify with the movie and make it about male empowerment and the man-hating foids latching onto Barbie will begin to hate it in spite.
I AM KENOUGH.
Chudcels are mad because they know they will never be KENOUGH.
I don't even know why are anons are so upset about this. It's a movie marketed towards women, with some feminist undertones but barely. I think anons are just upset a movie isn't marketed to them specifically.
Because it's the Joker for women. The Joker for men was right and just, a nice -YOU GET WHAT YOU FRICKING DESERVE- message for men who have been mistreated by society.
Barbie is for the women of said society that mistreat the guys who went to watch Joker.
>I don't even know why are anons are so upset about this.
Weak, fragile men have been scorned, mocked, and symbolically discarded by women yet again.
Based Greta Gerwing must be be getting free caviar plane rides with Margot Robbie to discuss how a full Human Barbie movie will win Warner a Best Picture Oscar.
>Margot produced the movie (she personally negotiated for the rights for her production company from Mattel, WB just cut her an investment check afterwards)
>Greta had complete creative control (hence the bizarre script)
They're unironically almost definitely shitting themselves right now. This movie was solely attributable to them. Its success is a colossal personal win for the two of them. Greta is likely going to make a play at adding her name to the list of great directors, and Margot is probably going to produce some massive films after this.
She already produced I, Tanya and A Promising Young Woman
the success of Barbie proves once and for all if you want your movie to succeed, cast whites in the lead. people just don't want to look at ugly shitskins and israelites in the majority of cases (with a few notable exceptions)
Can't wait for the Micro Machines movie. Capeshit dying brought something even worse.
You could just pay for something else entirely but you sound like you already spend for time you hate,
Barbie will still make a billion bucks. We all already threw the dice about TMVit.
I still can't believe this movie had a troony in it, do women just love enabling mental illness or what?
This is going g to become a cinematic universe with crossovers to other matte ips.
when do we get the funny cats cinematic universe
It's an OK original movie in a time when there is nothing else available, appealing to females without any real consistent message or depth but appearing like it does.
Barbie is the Taylor Swift of movies
Is it true the pregnant barbie that was removed from sale is in the movie?
Yes. A lot of weird Barbie shit is in the film like Growing up Skipper, the breast expansion doll
yes, i personally impregnated the actress who plays her for the role.
Saw it tonight, aside from the overly long mom speech it was actually pretty based. Comfy too. How did tv get this so wrong?
Frick this film
> ‘Hey men you don’t need to do things to impress women! Just do it to be yourself you are enough!
> ok
> Embrace masculine pursuits such as physical training, personal development, building/creating things and being a productive human
> ‘NO NOT LIKE THAT ITS PROBLEMATIC!!!’
Women genuinely don’t understand men at all, the movie attempts to mock masculinity for it’s hyper-competitiveness in sport/business, high standards of physical fitness and even being into culture such as cinema (see cringe scene where ken ‘mansplains’ the godfather to a barbie). This film inadvertently makes women look like angry children who rather than accept they aren’t as good at these things as men would rather attempt to drag them down and rationalise their own obsolescence. Don’t expect women to understand your commitment to your work, interests, fitness or development because for women every single one of these things is superfluous and the only thing that matters is ‘being happy and having a good time’ (ironic considering 99% of women are fricking miserable even when they get what they want)

That's the thing, it's SATIRE. The writers know that men aren't really like that, it's just poking fun at what toys (Kens) would grasp from the "patriarchy".
I mean they are drinking fake beers, Ken is wearing a pimp coat, driving Hummers. Men explaining The Godfather, etc. it's all light satire.
Ken in the real world is a total goof; he can't get a job as a lifeguard, it's a woman doctor, he gets arrested, etc. This is a fantasy "male" world vs fantasy "female" world.
Thing is...Barbie REJECTS this at the end for reality.
That's the point, it's satirizing men AND women.
>Ken in the real world is a total goof;
And Barbie in the real world is a total goof; she thinks she "solved feminism" when nobody gives a shit; in fact the teen calls her a FASCIST and makes her cry.
It's "feminist" in a very very light use of the word in that the story focuses on women. But it doesn't offer any solutions or provide any kind of coherent message. It's not anti-men per se. America's husband is a likable (if goofy) character.
It's more that it's satirizing both extreme femininity and masculinity in favor of reality.
>That's the thing, it's SATIRE.
Huh? What is it a satire of?
>Huh? What is it a satire of?
It's a satire of extreme masculine (Ken world) and feminine (Barbie world) concepts.
Barbie rejects both of these and wants to live in the real world. There is a montage of real women living life, this is what appeals to Barbie at the end. Not Barbie world.
>It's a satire of extreme masculine (Ken world) and feminine (Barbie world) concepts.
How does that make sense when the movie portrays the montage of men doing manly things as a negative? Why is that considered bad?
>say you haven't seen The Godfather
Ken, a passionate movie enjoyer, begins to explain why he loves this piece of art
>pretend you're bad at a sport
Ken will try to teach you, because he's supportive and wants you to succeed
>'let' Ken play the guitar at you
Ken is able to play the guitar decently well, and is excited to show off his talents
The Kens just want to be appreciated, and be seen as useful, and knowledgable. The Barbies treat that like it's wrong for some reason. The Kens did nothing wrong
Barbie all ready broke even though

>Get woke go br-
I've completely given up on women as a whole. If someone worthwhile comes along then sure, but the chances of that are just minuscule. They are mostly prostitutes, incredibly brainwashed, career oriented, tattooed and want no children. Not even to mention how many are medicated or do therapy. And the worse thing of all is that they are convinced they are better than men. All through ages of propaganda. It is over. It is completely over.
Hey Op … what kind of doofus doesn’t like 2 dimensional Saturday Night Fever ?
I hope this money generates even more money if it makes every chuddy seethe and cope
insallah make em mad
nooo heckerino why did the globohomosexual movie not turned out to be a flop like everyone of /misc/ said????
Who gives a shit?
Why are people obsessed with discussing it?
Watch something else.
Dumb movie with a popular license prints money.
Really shocking.
You know who is buying those tickets, don't you?
They have the money to pump those numbers.
If you paid to see this movie you should leave Cinemaphile and never come back.
The movie isnt woke, stop pretending it is so you can say get woke go broke isnt true
>B-BUT OUR FALSEFLAG SHILLING LARPING AT /misc/ SAID IT WAS WOKE
don’t care, we all know you’re shills
Nolan absolutely seething.
Based Barbie
Based WB
>inb4 Reddit claims Barbie is woke
Hahaha
Reminder that this movie got released at the same time as Sound of Freedom so that no one would see it. People prefer to watch woke garbage shit that lowers IQ and that's sad as frick.
I saw The Sound of Freedom, Barbie, and Oppenheimer in that order. By far TSOF was the best and most enjoyable to watch, even if it made me cry.
It also had way less of a budget.
I didn't watch it, but I know there's a trans Barbie in it, so it's automatically woke. Even by the trailer you could tell it would be due to them letting her and Ken keep their wrinkles, something the dolls and cartoons don't have due to them being the definition of perfect.
>I didn’t watch it I just know it’s bad
Never change Cinemaphile
you don't need to watch something to know it's bad. it's like saying you need to eat shit to know it tastes bad, and even if you did, you'll have to taste every shit to know if it tastes bad because all of them are different
What if it's pungent and nutty poo? Delicious poo.
you do you buddy
>Food analogy
yes, and?
>there's a trans Barbie in it, so it's automatically woke
in the movie
>Crazy Town - Butterfly plays in the background
>trans barbie comes out in a maid outfit and offers the kens beers
>barbie (margot) says to her noo youre a doctor!!
>she replies that she likes being a "helpful decoration"
yeah its kino
if it has trans it's not kino, moron
I just watched it. It was fun, though Ken never really got a character arc did he? He went from villain back to subservient man slave and the mother/daughter thing wasn’t really fleshed out. They just kinda made up?
Ken had the most impressive arc in the whole film. Or were you too busy scrolling on your phone during the movie to notice?
I'm getting conflicting messages here. Is it or is it not woke?
Sorta? It acknowledges that unequal treatment of both genders is a bad thing.
not really, there is some gay empowerment stuff but unless you're full blown "women must be milking le cows" most of it is tolerable, has its cringe for sure though
Barbie is a massive franchise that's exist for over half a century. The movie was marketed as a comedy and downplayed the feminist tropes. It's no surprise whatsoever that this movie became a success.
Just got back from the Sunday Night session (usually only 2 or 3 people) and it was packed with teenage girls wearing pink pyjamas, I’ve never seen anything like it.
Everyone was really enjoying it until about half way through, then the air sort of left the room and the movie ran out of steam.
Just watched it
"Mothers stay in place so that their daughters can look back and see how far they've come" was some powerful stuff.
Good movie.
I saw it last night and it was fine. The sexism themes were so on the nose it felt like it was a critique of the concept of sexism in-itself. The self-deprecation of Mattel was bizarre though.
It's just a meme cultural phenomenon. They'll fail to replicate it and will inevitably follow it up with a string of bombs.
