Breaking Baz: ‘Barbie’ Preparing To Dig Her Heels Into Box Office Reminds Of Quentin Tarantino Conversation About Modern Movie Stars

deadline.com:

What on earth possessed a whole bunch of us to think pink on Monday night? True, many of us were in a playful mood, me included, because Warner Bros Discovery was hosting a series of multimedia screenings of Barbie across several screens at two multiplexes in central London.

It’s following hot on the turbo-charged heels of Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Nice people from WB’s UK top brass and corporate comms presided over a pre-screening soiree at the W Hotel.

From an upper-floor window, the line of people waiting to gain entry to Cineworld’s Empire could be spied snaking its way across Leicester Square like a slither of pythons bedecked with candy floss.

Dresses, jackets, trousers, T-shirts, the odd fascinator, fingernails (and yes, toenails too) flashed shades of cerise, fuchsia, magenta and raspberry.
