IBNS-CMEDIA: Barbie fans can expect yet another arrival of their favourite doll on the big screen after Warner Bros boss Pam Abdy said the film studio would “love” to make Barbie 2, especially after the original movie ‘ignited audiences around the world’.

The movie minted $1.4bn (£1.1bn) at the box office globally, making it the most successful film released last year.

Abdy, the co-chair and CEO of Warner Bros Motion Picture Group, told BBC that the film had “smashed so many records”.

She added both parties were “always talking” about a follow-up, but that it would ultimately be Gerwig’s decision.

Abdy said she was hurt that actress Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig missed out Oscar nominations for Best Director and Best Lead Actress respectively. 

The Oscars are scheduled to take place on Sunday.
