There's zero chance that I would think whatever you're seeing on Facebook is representative of anybody at all.

do you think PG-13 means anything? Harry Potter movies were full of little kids and half of those films were PG-13

The BBC disinformation journalist set up five burner phones with fake social media profiles based on stereotypical US voters, all of which are probably more representative than anything he sees on Facebook
"I've created social media accounts belonging to five fake characters, who reflect views from across the political spectrum in the US. The people I created are based on data by a US think tank which defined types of voters after surveying more than 10,000 randomly selected US adults.
I've given each of them five profiles across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and Twitter - with names and computer-generated photos. They are: Larry, the Faith and Flag conservative; Britney from the Populist Right; Gabriela, the less political Stressed Sideliner; Michael, the Democratic Mainstay; and Emma from the Progressive Left."

Having just seen it, I think the target audience is 2 groups, anyone like 35 to 45, who will see specific parts of themselves in the barbies and kens and get all of the meta humor, and like 10 to 15 year old girls, who Mattel very much wants to reclaim Barbie as a "girls can do anything" icon back from "Barbie Girl, plastic and fantastic" by Aqua.
Ryan Gosling is an absolute scene stealer, maybe even movie stealer.
Anyone who has ever used the term "woke" unironically may have their head explode from all the girl power moments and speeches, but you chose to see a Barbie movie, so you brought it on yourself.
Otherwise, I thought it was hilarious, one of my favorites of the year, up there with SpiderVerse and Mission Impossible, and that was the general consensus of every one I saw it with.
And if you do want to see it, my showing was like a marvel premier, only with more pink and sparkles, theater was packed.

The buzz at the local church fish fry where Chuk picks up women is also really negative.

Looks like this is going to go against the grain of box office disappointments this summer.

Facebook is the worst social media platform to get your "buzz." I would believe shit from any other platform first.

Listen, we should all be impressed that Chuk isn't getting his buzz from myspace, at least.

I dont know how the profit sharing is going to work with Mattel, but allegedly a lot of the Barbie marketing was paid for by Mattel, not WB.
I also would assume a lot of the "Barbenheimer" viral shit on twitter/tiktok was mostly free once it took off, even if a marketing group seeded it, cause both of the movies will have benefited from it.
Assuming both movies hit their targets, this weekend is going to be a box office total up there with Spider-Verse and Mario Bros release weekends. Big cash for theaters.
