    Is anyone really going to the theater again just for a 1 minute clip they can watch later on youtube?

      I, for one, will buy as many tickets as possible and go to the theater to watch this movie over and over again with my friends and family.

      Who’s with me, fellow lemmings?

      Given that they wouldn’t do it if they didn’t expect it to be profitable, and this movie has been shitting money by the bucket, the answer is probably yes.

      Surprisingly to me, I’ve heard of a few people seeing it multiple times. Not that I dislike it, just that I’m not the kind to see a film more than once in the cinema generally, and Barbie didn’t strike me as the film that would prompt people to do so … though when I asked it made sense.

      Heck yeah! That movie was a delight with catchy music and entertaining choreography, plus it was refreshingly bizarre while also being relatable. I don’t normally watch movies more than once, but I was planning to watch this one again once it came to streaming. My boyfriend hasn’t seen it yet so this is just enough of a reason to bring him to the theater instead of watching at home. Besides, Dune has been delayed and that was the next one we were planning to see in the theater so it will be a while before we visit the theater again.

    I feel like the phrase “never before seen” is kinda rich for a film that’s still in cinemas. It holds weight when it’s a decades old film, but for most of the world all of the footage in the film is never before seen.

    BCU (Barbie Cinematic Universe)? If only because it’s so ridiculous it might actually work.
