Warner Bros. Discovery announced Monday that its summer blockbuster Barbie will debut on subscription streaming smorgasbord Max on Dec. 15, just four days shy of the six-month anniversary for its boffo theatrical release.
In an era in which the “window” between a film's multiplex debut and its SVOD premiere can be well under two months — witness the December 1 Peacock premiere of Universal's Exorcist: Believer following its October 6 box office release — Barbie has certainly extended its 15 minutes (as Sunday night’s 60 Minutes profile of director Greta Gerwig further demonstrates).
