“Barbie” has answered the billion-dollar question with a resounding “yes.” Barely three weeks into its run, writer-director Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster has raked in an astounding $1.03 billion at the global box office, according to official Warner Bros. estimates. This makes Gerwig the first solo female director with a billion-dollar movie.
It’s based off existing IP, though, so not as fresh as we would like. This is more likely to lead the studio execs to think they can mine kids toys for content, rather than think writing is important.
Apparently Polly Pocket and Uno are going to have their own movies as well. I am not totally sold on Polly, but I am all in for Uno. I hope they put in a draw 25 or really showcase the extreme desperation associated with not finding your card. But yeah, new compelling content please.
Lol I mean this in a friendly way. You’re either too sober or too wasted for my stoned ass. I see it opposite, and love both. I’m a simp for all sorts of card games; uno and all their “expansions” turn me on
But I can see how they can actually movitize Polly pocket (eg like green army men in toy story) There’s a whole Pocket world! I love miniaturized things and Polly pocket was the fucking shit
The Uno movie is gonna be a sequel to Battleship.
Uno could be done as a Running Man remake lol
Make it like Casino Royale but replace poker with uno.
Which is hilarious because after the long and expensive process of producing them (likely during the strike so the writing and acting will suck), the companies get a delayed box office bomb on their hands when they try to hype up their Hot Wheels “it’s fast and furious for 9 year old boys” movie.
Fast & Furious is already for 9 year old boys smh
