Love it or hate it, you simply cannot ignore Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling's latest release, Barbie. The film, directed by Greta Gerwig, released in theatres on July 21, 2023, alongside Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, sparking off the internet phenomenon Barbenheimer that began circulating on social media before the simultaneous theatrical release of two blockbuster films.
Barbie, which is the first live-action film made about the popular Mattel doll, has raked in over $337 million worldwide, which is said to be double what it was estimated to make.
The film has been praised and slammed in equal measure. This has certainly piqued the interest of moviegoers. And those who haven't watched Barbie in theatres or are looking to watch it again won't have to wait too long.
When and where to watch Barbie
According to reports, Barbie will be released on OTT 50 days after its theatrical release. While there has been no official word yet, Barbie will most likely be released on one of the two streaming giants: Netflix or Amazon Prime Video.
It is said to be available to stream in September 2023.
Barbie on Max
After taking over HBO and HBO Max, Warner Bros., who are the distributors of Barbie, owns Max. So, the movie will have its official release on the Max app. Once this is done, Barbie will be released on other OTT platforms once a deal is signed.
About the film
Barbie Land is a magical place where only the best will do. In this perfect world, Barbie (Margot Robbie), the paragon of perfection in form and function, makes her home. But her beautiful life is shattered when she and her best friend Ken (Ryan Gosling) are banished from Barbie Land for being imperfect.
Barbie experiences an existential crisis, doubting her place in the world and wondering who she really is for the first time. She struggles with the concept of imperfection and the awareness that her world may not be as perfect as it looks.
The film features an impressive ensemble cast that includes Helen Mirren, America Ferrera, Anne Hathaway, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Emma Mackey, Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Dua Lipa, Michael Cera, and Nicola Coughlan, among others.
