0

Barbie has achieved a remarkable global revenue of $774 million, while The Batman concluded its theatrical run with a close figure of $766 million.

Greta Gerwig’s latest directorial endeavor appears poised to shatter box office records, driven by the enduring enthusiasm surrounding the Barbie phenomenon.

In a recent milestone, Barbie has outperformed a 15-year record for Monday box office success within the Warner Bros. film portfolio, a record previously held by The Dark Knight.

Under the guidance of Oscar-nominated writer and director Greta Gerwig, with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling impeccably cast as Barbie and Ken, this cinematic journey propels Mattel Inc.’s iconic doll into a captivating adventure in the real world.

Earlier, the esteemed production company Warner Bros. proudly proclaimed that the joint efforts of Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie had propelled their creation past the remarkable $1 billion threshold, both domestically in the United States and on a global scale, a mere fortnight after its initial release.

Over the past weekend alone, the film garnered an impressive $459 million from within the United States and an additional $572.1 million internationally, culminating in a staggering overall collection of $1.0315 billion.

Based on its domestic opening weekend sales, ‘Barbie’ has rightfully emerged as the reigning top-grossing movie of the year. These numbers have been duly authenticated by the media analytics firm Comscore, confirming the statistical accomplishments presented by Warner Bros.

Indian Prominent Filmmaker Karan Johar Responds to Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Movie Mafia’ Comments

Karan Johar, one of the most successful directors in Bollywood known for his intellect and romantic films, has responded to the statements made by the famous actress Kangana Ranaut regarding the “Movie Mafia.”

Karan Johar, with 15.9 million followers on his Instagram account, is currently celebrating the success of his recently released film, “Rocky and Rani Ki Prem Kahani.” The movie features Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in pivotal roles.

Recently, Karan Johar addressed the issue of “Movie Mafia” without explicitly mentioning Kangana Ranaut’s name. During an interview with Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise, he stated that he was compelled to respond to such comments only to dispel any doubts regarding his well-being, as he needs to remain strong for his mother and himself. Such remarks and statements about oneself can be quite distressing, he added.

He expressed his frustration, stating that some people don’t know the real person he is. Karan Johar emphasized that people are unaware of the daily struggles that producers and directors face when trying to cast their films.

It’s worth noting that during the entire interview, Karan Johar did not mention Kangana Ranaut’s name even once. However, it’s widely known that Kangana Ranaut frequently mentions Karan Johar on her social media accounts, often targeting him with criticism.

Renewed GOP Criticism of Hollywood Emerges in 2024 as Lauren Boebert’s Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds Blame Game Takes Center Stage

Lauren Boebert Blames Ryan Reynolds

When Lauren Boebert attributed her decision to switch Colorado districts during her reelection bid to Hollywood, she joined a lineage of Republicans critiquing the industry and its pronounced inclination towards supporting the left. This recurring trend sees GOP candidates consistently taking aim at Hollywood, given its donor base, which predominantly favors Democrats.

Over the weekend, during an interview with Steve Bannon for his podcast, Lauren Boebert accused Hollywood elites of attempting to influence her current district, prompting her decision to switch from Colorado’s 3rd to Colorado’s 4th for better odds in a more Republican-leaning area. Boebert alleged that Hollywood figures like Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds were contributing to her Democratic opponent’s campaign in an effort to “buy their way into Congress.”

Boebert targeted Adam Frisch, her likely Democratic opponent in the general election, who had raised about $8 million by the end of September, surpassing Boebert’s own fundraising. Boebert asserted that the district switch would disrupt the flow of “dark money” into her campaign, highlighting her vulnerability as a top Democratic target.

Frisch did receive contributions from Streisand and Reynolds, along with other Hollywood names, totaling $75,583 from showbiz sources as of September 30, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Despite this, Boebert’s tactic of criticizing her opponent for Hollywood support is a familiar strategy employed by Republicans, leveraging it for media attention and fueling culture wars, particularly appealing to rural voters.

While Boebert decries outside influence, she herself has garnered support from non-local figures, including celebrity donors like Jenny Craig in the 2020 cycle and Liberty Media’s John Malone, who, with a Florida address, contributed the maximum $6,600 to her campaign last year. Boebert’s attempt to distance herself from one set of elites while engaging with another reflects the complexity of her political strategy as she navigates a competitive primary in her new district, where standing out is paramount.

Priscilla Review: Sofia Coppola Dares to Illuminate the Unseen Side of Elvis Ignored by Fans

“Why the Movie Starring Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi Is the Version of Elvis We Needed to See”

Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla,” featuring Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, transforms what could have been perceived as a fairytale love story into a compelling exploration of why Priscilla Presley found it essential to carve out her own journey, distinct from Elvis.

Initially crossing paths at a house party, Priscilla’s admiration for Elvis evolves into a more romantic connection, prompting Elvis to gradually open up about his personal life.

Upon their return to the U.S., with Elvis settling in Memphis and Priscilla at her family home in Texas, the couple maintains contact. Over time, Priscilla’s parents grant permission for her to move to Memphis, enabling her to complete high school at a private Catholic school while residing at Graceland, ultimately leading to their marriage.

What sets Coppola’s portrayal of Priscilla and Elvis’ relationship apart is its unwavering focus on Priscilla’s perspective, revealing the manipulative facets of Elvis. The film depicts instances such as Elvis offering her a pill during her initial visit to Memphis, controlling her wardrobe choices, and delving into the emotional, and eventually physical, mistreatment in their relationship.

 

What is ‘Priscilla’ ?

Inspired by the 1985 novel “Elvis and Me: The True Story of the Love Between Priscilla Presley and the King of Rock N’ Roll,” Priscilla chronicles the ups and downs of the romantic relationship between the Presleys, beginning when 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu first met the 24-year-old singer in Germany, while he was in the army, in 1959.

 

Where to watch Priscilla: In theatres Nov. 3

Director: Sofia Coppola
Cast: Cailee Spaeny, Jacob Elordi, Ari Cohen, Dagmara Dominczyk, Tim Post, Lynne Griffin
Runtime: 113 minutes
