‘Barbie’ Returns to Movie Theaters After Earning Eight Oscar Nominations


'Barbie' is coming back to the big screen for one week.

Earlier this week, Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie’s pink fantasy comedy landed eight Academy Award nominations, including best picture and supporting acting nods for Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera. Warner Bros.’ president of domestic distribution, Jeff Goldstein, and head of international distribution, Andrew Cripps, said of the re-release: “We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, we’ve never seen anything like the absolute cultural phenomenon that is ‘Barbie.’ This masterful vision for Mattel’s doll could only have come from the creative minds of Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, and in Greta’s hands, ‘Barbie’ became a must-go, must-see, must-wear-pink cinematic experience that was a brilliantly subversive commentary on our society, couched in an undeniably entertaining story.” Two months after its initial July 21 release, “Barbie” secured a one-week Imax run in September, which featured exclusive new post-credits footage selected by Gerwig.
