It\u2062 follows\u200c Robbie&#8217;s character, Stereotypical\u2062 Barbie, as she ventures out of\u200b Barbie Land and uncovers some surprising truths\u2063 in the \u200dreal world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During an interview with\u200d Collider, Robbie shared her pitch to the studios, saying, &#8220;I think my pitch in the green-light meeting was the studios have prospered \u2064so much when they\u2019re brave enough to pair a big idea with a visionary director. And then I gave a series of examples like, &#8216;dinosaurs and\u2062 [Steven] Spielberg&#8217; \u2013 \u200dpretty\u200c much naming anything that\u2019s been incredible and made a ton of money for the studios over the years. And\u2062 I was like, &#8216;And now you\u2019ve got Barbie\u2063 and Greta Gerwig.&#8217; And I think I\u2063 told them that it\u2019d make a billion dollars, which maybe I was overselling, but we had\u200b a movie to\u2062 make, okay?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the film is expected to make between $95 million to $110 million, with some forecasters predicting it to rake in as\u2064 much as $140 million, Robbie&#8217;s initial optimism showcases her belief in the project&#8217;s potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Positive Reception and Feminist\u200c Themes<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Early reviews of &#8220;Barbie&#8221; have\u2063 praised its overtly\u200d feminist\u200c themes and its\u200d ability to challenge patriarchal norms. An Entertainment Weekly reporter called it a &#8220;fierce, funny,\u200d and deeply feminist adventure.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ryan Gosling, who plays one of the Kens in\u2064 the movie, also had high praise for Gerwig, describing her as a brilliant and inclusive person.
