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.

      Bro your friend is an idiot, Mel Gibson has nothing to do with that movie at all, it was executively produced by self help guru and grifter Tony Robbins, it’s based on the “work” of Qanon grifter Tim Ballard, stars Qanon idiot and former Jesus in Mel Gibson’s The Passion of The Christ, Jim Cavaziel, and is directed by this Mexican guy with four directing credits named Alejandro Gómez Monteverde, who’s father and brother were apparently killed by serial kidnappers.

          It’s sounds like he’s getting on the ball with being brainwashed by Qanon crap.

          Be wary that your friend might be or is in the process of becoming a bigot.

              Well I hope so, but you never know, some people stay quiet on certain topics because they know their views are socially unpalatable, like Nazis for instance, it’s definitely a red flag.

              Either way, gl and I hope things work out.
