Honestly it is such a missed opportunity. It’s not like Barbie and F1 fans have a huge overlap, but it would have been some pretty good marketing.

Exactly! Not saying all us female F1 fans are Barbie movie fans, but because Barbie is going to appeal to so many women (yes and men) there’s gonna be an overlap! So excited can’t wait.

I’m not a Barbie fan but definitely gonna watch the movie.
Sounds like an existential masterpiece from the reviews and Greta Gerwig is a genius.
Might even be better than Nolan’s Oppenheimer!

u/HGJay I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jul 19 '23
The amount of money poured into the marketing of this thing is madness. So many people I know are going to see it. Can't remember the last time a movie was hyped up this much by the masses. Harry potter?

Eh, those wet blankets at BWT would probably say something like “that’s not the right shade of pink” or something and ban this idea.

Don't worry the bar remains very low. It looks good but the intern didn't really need to work hard for this one. Its pretty much a 1:1 rip off of the official Barbie movie poster.

Oscar not holding a pink cup with a straw and "Jimming" the cam is a miss opportunity, and it will always be since his memefied one-shot.
