This was the biggest opening weekend at the box office this year, much to conservatives’ dismay.

The far right is constantly warning that if you go woke, you’ll go broke. But when it comes to the new Barbie movie, they couldn’t be more wrong.

Barbie, which follows Barbie (Margot Robbie) and Ken (Ryan Gosling) as they leave Barbie Land to explore the real world, earned a whopping $162 million in its opening weekend, Variety reported Monday. This is the biggest opening weekend of the year, and the biggest opening weekend for a female director ever.

The film had already made $22.3 million at the domestic box office from Thursday previews, the biggest preview haul of the summer. It blew the previous record of $17.5 million (made by Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in May) out of the water.

    a lot of the movie is about - Spoiler removed due to incomplete spoiler implementation in apps.

    Theres also a speech or two about how hard it is to be a woman. So usual sniveling about how anything which doesn’t reinforce women in the kitchen ideology.

      I don’t think your spoiler tagging worked (or maybe my client hasn’t implemented spoilers)

        I’ll remove it incase anyone else gets affected.
