The far right is constantly warning that if you go woke, you’ll go broke. But when it comes to the new Barbie movie, they couldn’t be more wrong.
Barbie, which follows Barbie (Margot Robbie) and Ken (Ryan Gosling) as they leave Barbie Land to explore the real world, earned a whopping $162 million in its opening weekend, Variety reported Monday. This is the biggest opening weekend of the year, and the biggest opening weekend for a female director ever.
The film had already made $22.3 million at the domestic box office from Thursday previews, the biggest preview haul of the summer. It blew the previous record of $17.5 million (made by Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in May) out of the water.
Stupid Mel Gibson movie that totally fictionalizes an asshole’s biography and turns him into the world’s greatest hero because he’s rescuing the children from the pedophile organization QAnon has been warning us about.
According to Wikipedia, it’s not even by Mel Gibson, but by some Mexican guy named Alejandro Gómez Monteverde. Apparently, Mel Gibson endorsed it and the lead actor previously played Jesus in the Passion of the Christ, but that seems to be the limit of that connection.
