  Just saw it today with my daughter… great great movie. Definitely deserves the hype.

  Go woke, go broke rich?

    Yeah, Greta Gerwig just completely invalidated that right wing slogan.

      Nah, it’s been invalidated several times and yet they hopelessly cling to it as if it still meant something. And if some LGBTQ+ friendly film happens to bomb or at least not make that much profit, they will parrot it once again with further gusto.

    It turns outs “woke” doesn’t have a definition nor really a unifying theme, and that marketing a film to 50+% of the population can actually work.

  I thought it was pretty fun and enjoyable. My GF thought it was a bit boring though. Not for everyone surely, and I think it could have been better but still a solid 7/10 by me

    Just finished watching it maybe ~2 hours ago. I agree with the 7/10. There were parts that were boring (and imo cringey), but overall it was interesting. Nothing game breaking and could be better, but still a good watch.

      6/10 for me, but yes, it's fun and gets uneven, with said cringey bits.

  It could have done without the car chase Chevy ad, but I thought overall it was far above my expectations. Not surprised it’s doing well, the whole movie theatre were laughing out loud.

  I read somewhere else that no one expected this movie to do so well. This and the Taylor Swift Eras tour is killing it!!

  strange that two weeks ago the opening was like 150 mil a giant success, but maybe that just goes to predict or correlate with this number in some way. Giant opening means great buzz, means more sales. etc. guess it worked out. I need to watch it but probably will just do so at home.

  Would like to see that gross adjusted for inflation. But either way, incredibly solid box office.

  Have to admit I kind of want to see it.

  Of course a film about the most popular plastic doll is going to make incredible revenues
