Comment on Barbie Release Date Set for Summer 2018

Barbie release date set for Summer 2018 In addition to setting dates for the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel and Bad Boys 4, Sony Pictures has revealed a new Barbie release date. Originally set to be released on May 12, 2017, the live-action film will now arrive in theaters on June 29, 2018. The only other movie on that date currently is a mystery Marvel film from 20th Century Fox. It was announced earlier this month that Sony Pictures, Mattel and Parkes+MacDonald/Image Nation’s Barbie movie had landed a leading lady in Amy Schumer (Trainwreck, Inside Amy Schumer). Schumer will play a misfit living in a land of perfect Barbies who comes to the real world where her being/looking different turns into an asset. The film is said to be a contemporary spin on beauty, feminism and identity in the comedic-fantasy vein of Splash, Enchanted or Big. The screenplay comes from Hilary Winston (The LEGO Ninjago Movie, the Bad Teacher TV series).
