Barbie is a 2023 American fantasy comedy movie directed by Greta Gerwig.[6] The movie is based on the popular Barbie fashion dolls by Mattel and is inspired by the book "Reviving Ophelia" by Mary Pipher. It is the first live-action Barbie movie, featuring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, along with a talented supporting cast. The movie is about Barbie and Ken travelling to the real world in Los Angeles after Barbie suffers from an existential crisis.

Filming

The movie's development began in 2014 when Sony Pictures acquired the rights, but it went through various changes in writers, directors, and casting. Eventually, Warner Bros. Pictures took over the project in 2018, with Margot Robbie attached as the star and producer. Greta Gerwig was confirmed as the director and co-writer with Noah Baumbach in 2021. The filming took place at Warner Bros. Studios in England from March to July 2022.

Release

[change | change source]

Barbie premiered at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on July 9, 2023. It was released in the United States on July 21 by Warner Bros. Pictures.

The movie was released the same day as Oppenheimer, a biographical thriller movie directed by Christopher Nolan. Since both movies are from opposite genres and are being released on the same day, the term "Barbenheimer" describes this and has become an internet meme.[34][35]

The movie crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide on August 6, 2023, making it the first movie by a solo female director to do so.[36] Barbie became the highest-grossing live-action-comedy movie of all time.[37]
