Barbie film has led to a major spike in sales for the toy for its manufacturer Mattel.Greta Gerwig’s film was released in July this year, and has since become the highest grossing film ever directed by a solo female director and the highest grossing film ever released by Warner Bros., having brought in over $1.4 billion (£1.2 billion).One knock-on effect has been that from July to September, as reported by the BBC, sales of Barbie toys increased by 16 per cent compared with the equivalent window in 2022, lifting the company to its first quarter of sales growth in a year.“Our strategy is serving us well,” said Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz in a message to investors. “We are very well positioned competitively and expect a strong holiday season.”Mattel had previously said that it hoped to receive a $125 million (£103 million) boost from the film, most of which has already been realised.

A revealing audio clip of star Ben Affleck from the DVD commentary of the 1998 summer blockbuster has gone viral, like it does every so often, and listeners are again shocked by the actor’s frank admissions. On the track, Affleck says fiery director Michael Bay told him to “shut the f—k up” when he started asking too many questions about the disaster film’s implausible plot.“I asked Michael why it was easier to train oil drillers to become astronauts than it was to train astronauts to become oil drillers, and he told me to shut the f—k up,” said Affleck, who was just 25 years old when “Armageddon” hit theaters.“’You know, Ben, just shut up, OK? You know, this is a real plan,’” Affleck, now 51, recalled Bay saying.

‘Barbie’ Co-Writer Noah Baumbach Skips World Premiere over WGA Strike; Greta Gerwig Says ‘Nothing in Hollywood Happens Without Writers’

Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer In a display of pink visible from outer space, Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” held its lush world premiere on Sunday in Los Angeles. The Shrine Auditorum, located smack in the middle of the USC campus, was hosed down in colors of blush and bashful for the anticipated Warner Bros. release (as in, the security guards wore pink polo shirts), which drew the film’s stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. One notable absence was Noah Baumbach, the film’s co-writer and Gerwig’s partner. “My co-writer and co-creator, my partner in love and art, Noah Baumbach is not here. He is passionately supporting the fight of the Writers Guild of America,” Gerwig said. “He is a Barbie girl. Nothing in ‘Barbie’ happened without him, and nothing in Hollywood happens without writers.”
