It was clear that Barbie was going to make a billion. The IP has been popular and trending since the 60s. The marketing was out of this world.

I suspect that they are not telling the truth. The estimated 150 million dollars on marketing is not true. I believe that it is more than that. Celebs and big brand fast food companies all going pink for Barbie. That is not small marketing


I wanted it to flop but the masses are many

Lol, that film marketing ain't more than that $150mn. Many businesses keyed in on the hype to sell their brands. Not the other way round with WB paying them. They're the one supposed to be paying. It's a form of product placement.
Majority of Barbie's promo was free marketing cos everybody wanted that exposure in the social media, offline and everywhere.

The marketing team are actual genius and just tapped into the power of social media marketing.
It was the most talked about film for months before its debut sef..... So I'm not too surprised it's overperforming.

It's good you got it at that quality. The vfx and animation were totally bonkers. Absolutely visually appealing and a greater size means more pixels which enhances the viewing experience.

I'm sticking with the professionals in this case, all it's projections are poor. Its total worldwide and domestic box office take should be less than or equal to $250 million. Although, that ought to be sufficient to break even and turn a profit.

I wasn't expecting anything less. I stopped watching animations since 2018, but I occasionally make few exceptions, and Spiderverse is one I'll keep on watching as long as the sequels keeps coming.

it's possible that they just wanted to join in on a piece of media that was trending and no one paid them to do so

Lol. I doubt that. This was not the first barbie movie.

There is nothing natural about barbie, starting with Barbie itself.

This is not the first Barbie movie.

From my experience in critical marketing, very few things are naturally viral.

For instance, Disney worked with McDonald's to promote Mulan in 1998 by creating a special Chinese sauce- Szechuan sauce.

It is not hard to believe that the marketers behind Barbie did the same.

All this one na just cap Baba. There's many things going well for Barbie and a huge part was the director and the cast. Greta Gerwig is well loved by her fans and critics alike. Her name alone brought optimism and removed doubts for many in that film. Couple that with Margot Robbie popularity and rich cast. One of the most stacked cast with top talent actors, and you people are wondering why it's performing this good, while being an internet sensation?? All those cast are also actors very popular with young people.
Una dey funny walahi. πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

All these funny talk didn't come out when the movie was announced or months close to its debut. It's mainly folks in Nigeria here on Nairaland that I've been seeing weird comments from the beginning that it would flop.
Some of you just want to talk and discredit the film cos you don't like it.

Europeans and Americans don't have this weird thinking. It was always bound to be successful, just how successful was the question.

This is not the first Barbie movie has little to no water. Cos none of those movies were theatrically released. Direct to home video releases rarely counts as shΓ―t these days when it comes to box office collection.
All this Shalaye pro max didn't come out when Beauty and The Beast went on to gross $1.26bn in 2015 despite there being numerous movies about it before.

Leave am make him dey cap nonsense for here.
Barbie that it's only when the film just debut with that record as the biggest opener this year before I started seeing celebs trying to join the trend.

Most of the marketing I've been seeing on film Twitter are from fans and not even Warner Bros the production company sef. But ppl here wan dey whine themselves dey find wetin no loss.

He should have come out and explain why Oppenheimer too is overperforming and destroying ALL projections about it, same as Barbie. Both movies, you can't talk about one and leave out the other. They basically the example of perfect storm of events to make them this huge.

Not surprising, it was meant to.
With the massive marketing by fans and celeb, I knew that it will hit a billion.

Lol, Blue Beetle's marketing has been ramping up since the last 10 days.

I'm hoping it does decently and it's chances improves. WB left it a little too late focusing all the promo and attention to BARBIE.
Even Meg 2 sef no get that much promo but it'll do well overseas.
