Barbie officially crossed the $1.365 billion mark at the global box office on September 2 to become the highest-grossing film of the year so far. This is quite an achievement since it overcame bans in several countries and tough competition at the summer box office to reach this impressive number.

Seeing Barbie become the year’s highest-grossing film isn’t a huge shocker, considering how many records it broke since its release. It set several opening weekend milestones after it premiered on July 21, and it went on to become Warner Bros’ highest-grossing film of all time and the fastest to cross a $1 billion mark, beating Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.

Barbie stars Margot Robbie as the iconic doll, who decides to head to the real world after finding herself in the midst of an existential crisis. In addition to Robbie, the film also stars Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Will Ferrell, and Helen Mirren.

Led by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the first live-action film inspired by Mattel’s iconic doll chronicles Barbie’s journey of self-discovery after she leaves Barbieland for the Real World.

Barbie exceeded its box office projections after premiering on July 21, earning $155 million domestically and $182 million globally, for a worldwide total of $337 million. It scored the highest-grossing weekend for a film by a female director, and the largest opening for a non-sequel, non-remake, and non-superhero movie.

Andrew Cripps, Warner Bros president of international theatrical distribution, described Barbie’s success as “a testament to the filmmakers’ singular vision to provide a fun and engaging experience that audiences of all ages are responding to in a fun and powerful way.”

Barbie was in pretty good company at the global box office, with Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer grossing $174 million worldwide. The tonal difference between the two projects inspired the viral Barbenheimer phenomenon, and many moviegoers went to see them as a double feature, thus improving the box office numbers of both films.

Warner Bros. is yet to give this project a green light, but everything we know about it is pretty impressive. The four-time Emmy winner Jay Roach is set to direct, while Carrie Solomon wrote the script. Not much is known about the plot, apart from the fact that the action will take place in Europe during the 60s.

Gosling’s involvement in this project makes total sense since he made a major shift to action blockbusters with a recent role in Netflix’s The Gray Man. He’s expected to return in the prequel of this hit movie, in addition to being attached to upcoming films The Fall Guy, Wolfman, The Actor, and Project Hail Mary.

Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s trilogy was launched with the release of the first movie in 2001, and its A-list ensemble cast included George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts. This marks the second attempt to revive this franchise, following the release of female-centric spinoff Ocean’s 8 in 2018.

According to Deadline, Mattel and Warner Bros. truly had to go an extra mile to secure Gosling’s casting. He initially declined the role due to scheduling conflicts but changed his mind as pre-production dragged out and his schedule cleared up in the meantime.

Warner Bros. also kept insisting he’s their only choice for the role. The amazing creative team also includes Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird, Little Women) who’ll be in charge of directing the movie and co-writing the script with Noah Baumbach.

Barbie joins a busy slate of movies that Gosling is soon set to appear in, but we haven’t seen him on the big screen in quite some time. He hasn’t appeared in any new projects since playing Neil Armstrong in First Man in 2018. The Oscar-nominated star will make a comeback alongside Chris Evans and Ana de Armas in the Russo brother’s next film The Gray Man.

The director of the follow-up to 2016’s Suicide Squad has announced the cast for the film and several actors are reprising their roles.

Amongst them are Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, and Jai Courtney who played Harley Quinn, Rick Flag, Amanda Waller, and Captain Boomerang, respectively.

According to James Gunn, they will be joined by newcomers Idris Elba Taika Waititi, Peter Capaldi, John Cena, Storm Reid, Pete Davidson, David Dastmalchian, and Daniela Melchior.

In the announcement posted on Instagram, the filmmaker warned, “Don’t get too attached…”

Producer Peter Safran has also stressed that this is not a sequel, but a reboot. “It’s everything you would hope from a James Gunn script, and I think that says a lot and that promises a lot and I know that we will deliver a lot,” he said.

The Suicide Squad comes out August 6th, 2021.

We are almost a year away from the release of the Suicide Squad sequel (try saying that three times fast), and we now have our first look at the bad-ass film.

Margot Robbie will once again be reprising her role as the slightly crazy Harley Quinn, the Joker’s maniacal accomplice.

Except this time, the clown princess is holding down the fort on her own.

In Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), the titular character joins forces with Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) to save Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco) from crime-lord Black Mask (Ewan McGregor).

Margot posted a picture of herself in full Harley Queen regalia, along with the caption, “Miss me?”

A short clip released this week shows some of the film’s main players, including the Aussie actress laughing and holding a drink.

Birds of Prey is scheduled for release on the 7th of February, 2020.

It looks like the long-promised film about the famous doll is finally getting off the ground, with Suicide Squad actress Margot Robbie set to bring the figure to life.

The 28 year old is also expected to produce the film, which is likely to be made by Warner Bros. now that Sony is out of the picture.

It now appears as though the project has found a director who knows all about movies that have a strong feminist message — Patty Jenkins.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Wonder Woman director is the current favorite to helm the film.

The writers include Diablo Cody of Juno, Olivia Milch from Ocean’s 8, Hilary Winston, and Inside Amy Schumer’s Kim Caramele, as well as Amy herself.

We can’t wait to meet Wonder Barbie.

In November 2016, Warner Bros. announced that it would develop a film based on a team of female DC characters who are known collectively as the “Birds of Prey”.

Amongst them is Harley Quinn, Black Canary, Huntress, Cassandra Cain, and Renee Montoya.

Margot Robbie is set to reprise her role from Suicide Squad by playing Harley Quinn, as well as produce, while Cathy Yan will helm the film.

“She [Harley Quinn] has got to be with other people, it should be a girl gang,” Margot told Collider. “I wasn’t seeing enough girl gangs on screen, especially in the action space. So that was always a big part of it.”

Mary Elizabeth Winstead will play Huntress who is the daughter of Batman and Catwoman, while Jurnee Smollett-Bell has been cast as Black Canary — is a street fighter known for her shrieking cry.

Warner Bros. has confirmed the Birds of Prey release date, with the supervillain film set to hit theatres on the 7th of February 2020.
