  - MI-6 got f**ked by Cavaziel and the scum on the right he represents. -- nm - Jovian Jul 26, 08:21 2
    - That movie has become a crusade for the far right. -- nm - loosilu Jul 26, 08:21 1
      - Yup and it ate right into MI:6 profits -- nm - Jovian Jul 26, 08:25
  - Their marketing budget is INSANE! Tieks (the $200 ballet flats) have a Malibu pink edition. -- nm - loosilu Jul 26, 08:20 7
    - I guess like "is barbie paying for that" or more "is tiek's capitalizing"? so much of the marketing has just been super viral. not paid. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 26, 08:40 5
      - Can they use the name if Barbie didn't pay? I don't know how this works. -- (edited) - loosilu Jul 26, 08:40 4
        
        tieks might pay x% to (mattel? the studio?) for use of the logo. I wouldn't imagine barbie would pay them one thin dime. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 26, 08:43 3
        
        I don't think they have the logo. I think this is part of the big pink grab. -- nm - loosilu Jul 26, 08:43 2

- Greta Gerwig made Barbie a billion dollar phenomenon . without her vision for it, it’s just another crummy hasbro cash grab -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 26, 08:18 11
  - I've seen plenty of promo/interview clips around Barbie, almost all Margot, only one Gerwig. She'd sustain her box office if she self-promoted - Max Jul 26, 08:39 1
    - this is a great point. if gerwig were more out there, she could be a draw. robbie is like playing with audiences. gerwig is backgrounding. she should - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 26, 08:41
  - in her first four movies: $5k -> $80m -> $200m -> $600m wk 1 and counting -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 26, 08:24
  - (Margot Robbie is also the new Julia Roberts) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 26, 08:19 7

        That movie was excellent. Sorry the movie public missed out on that one -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jul 26, 08:41
    - Ryan Gosling is no slouch either. -- nm - loosilu Jul 26, 08:22

  - Spiderman? No Way Home and Spiderverse both slayed -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 26, 08:17 1
    - Spidey is undoubtedly the biggest character box office draw. Even bigger than Barbie or Mario. -- nm - Inigo Jul 26, 08:19
- i think Oppenheimer got a staggering amount of free publicity via Barbie. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 08:14 4
  - Yup. -- nm - MDH Jul 26, 08:30
  - When that photo of Greta and Margot holding Oppenheimer tickets went viral, Nolan should have cut the a check -- nm - Remlik Jul 26, 08:23
