‘Barbie’ Is The Highest-Grossing Movie Of 2023

Published

on

‘Barbie’ has become the highest-grossing movie of 2023.

The blockbuster summer comedy – which stars Margot Robbie as the titular Mattel doll – has reportedly passed ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ at the box office, with Variety revealing that on Saturday (02.09.03), the film has now brought in a total of $1.36 billion since its release in July.

In recent days, ‘Barbie’ also became Warner Bros’ highest-grossing film ever as it passed the record set by ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two’, which was the final instalment of the megahit wizarding franchise based on the magical book series by J.K Rowling.

Greta Gerwig’s smash hit – which also stars Ryan Gosling as Barbie’s boyfriend Ken – was released on the same day as wartime drama ‘Oppenheimer’ and the two films sparked a phenomenon known as Barbeheimer due to their polarity, and the weekend also saw the Christopher Nolan- directed epic become the second-highest-grossing R-rated movie in history.

The biopic which chronicles the career of American theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer has now collected a reported $787 million at the box office, meaning that it has overtaken the record set by Ryan Reynolds’ 2018 hit ‘Deadpool 2’, which made $785 million and was also deemed unsuitable for those under the age of 17.

This means that the drama – which was directed by Christopher Nolan and stars Cillian Murphy as the titular wartime hero – is just behind ‘Joker’ on the list of highest-grossing R-rated movies ever, which became the first movie of its kind to surpass the $1 billion mark following its release in 2019.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ currently stands as the third-highest-grossing film of 2023, having taken $845,522,394 at the box office.

A video showcasing Kenyan musician Kevin Mbuvi Kioko, widely known as Bahati, donning women’s attire has ignited a whirlwind of reactions across the internet. The gospel artist has not only been seen wearing his wife’s clothes but also experimenting with makeup, sparking a wave of criticism and mixed opinions.

In response to Kenyans who urged him to conform to societal norms, Bahati took to Instagram to defiantly proclaim his beauty and shut down his detractors. He wrote, “Unaongea mbaya na nimeiva kuliko dem yako” (You speak ill, yet I am more beautiful than your girlfriend)

While artists occasionally sport unconventional and humorous outfits, it remains unclear whether it’s for publicity or purely entertainment purposes. Concerns have emerged regarding Bahati’s recent trend of wearing his wife, Diana’s clothing, with many speculating about his potential association with the LGBTQIA+ community.

From Europe to Arabia: Soccer’s Shifting Sway

Published

on

This summer, Saudi Arabia is bringing in some of the most talented players in world football, with many players joining from major European leagues. The moves made by former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo and former Real Madrid attacker Karim Benzema could mark the beginning of a new era in the Saudi league. However, a major unanswered question remains: why are Saudi leagues signing numerous top players from European leagues?

Sports analysts argue that the nation’s economy needs diversification as it heavily relies on oil sales for revenue. To achieve this, the nation’s sovereign wealth investment fund, the PIF, is being utilized. There is a particular interest in expanding the sports industry, including the football league, to develop a thriving leisure and entertainment sector. Saudi Arabia aims to capitalize on the significant interest in football among its population, which consists of 70% of individuals under the age of 40.

According to Sky Sports, Saudi Arabia had the most dedicated supporters at the Qatar World Cup last year, and their team even defeated the eventual winners, Argentina, in the group stages. Football enjoys immense popularity in Saudi Arabia, and investing in the sport is seen as a means to boost tourism.

Some notable names that have joined the Saudi leagues include Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United, Karim Benzema from Real Madrid, N’Golo Kanté from Chelsea, RúbenNeves from Wolverhampton Wanderers, Roberto Firmino from Liverpool, Edouard Mendy from Chelsea, Jota from Celtic, Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea, Marcelo Brozović from Inter Milan, and Sergej Milinković-Savić from Lazio. The transfer activity is expected to continue until the summer transfer window is closed.
