“Barbie” has earned close to 86 million yuan in China since its release on Friday, according to Chinese ticket selling platform Maoyan – putting it in third place in all movies nationwide. While that figure is small compared to the runaway success of “Barbie” in the United States – it raked in $155 million domestically over the weekend – it could still grow as social media discussion about the movie picks up momentum.
“There isn’t any new thinking about feminism, the movie is just an expression of old thoughts,” one person wrote on Douban. Feminist movements in China have faced numerous setbacks over the years due to censorship and an ongoing crackdown on activism.
