Dubai, UAE – The highly anticipated ‘Barbie’ movie is all set to grace the big screens in the UAE on August 10, two weeks ahead of the originally expected release date.
Local theaters, including VOX Cinemas, Reel Cinemas, and Roxy Cinemas, have already opened pre-orders for eager viewers.
Online bookings for the film have specified that it is intended for an audience of 15 years and above. The film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, was initially slated to debut on July 20.
Director Greta Gerwig’s unique take on the iconic ‘Barbie’ character has already proven to be a box office success, notching up remarkable numbers in both the US and Canada. With an earnings report of over $351 million in the two countries since its debut on July 21, and a global collection of nearly $775 million ‘Barbie’ has become one of the standout releases of the year.
The UAE, consistent with its practice along with other GCC countries, ensures that movies adhere to strict cultural and religious norms before granting screening rights.
