Since it premiered in July, Barbie has smashed records at the box office, earning over a reported $1.4 billion around the world.
The Greta Gerwig-directed blockbuster starring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken quickly became the year’s hottest film, accompanied by a hit soundtrack with chart-topping tracks from Dua Lipa, Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj, and Gosling himself.
And now fans are about to have the best day ever, as Barbie is finally available to watch at your very own dream house. Watch Barbie on Prime Video and Apple TV

“It’s definitely not a bad thing to turn a potential franchise, whether built on a line of dolls or not, into something that refuses to dumb itself down or pander to the lowest common denominator,” David Fear wrote in Rolling Stone‘s Barbie review, which described the film as the “most subversive blockbuster of the 21st century.”
Fear continues: “And the victory that is Gerwig, Robbie, and Gosling — along with a supporting cast and crew that revel in the idea of joining a benefic Barbie party — slipping in heady notions about sexualization, capitalism, social devolution, human rights and self-empowerment, under the guise of a lucrative, brand-extending trip down memory lane? That’s enough to make you giddy. We weren’t kidding about the ‘subversive’ part above; ditto the ‘blockbuster.’ A big movie can still have big ideas in 2023. Even a Barbie movie. Especially a Barbie movie.”
Is Barbie Still in Theaters?
Even though Barbie‘s now available to watch at home, you can still head to a local theater to see it on the big screen. If you still want to catch Barbie in theaters, you can check to see where it’s playing near you and get tickets on Fandango. Get Barbie Tickets on Fandango

“I don’t read a lot of scripts, but it was just everything I want in a movie,” Barbie the Album producer Mark Ronson previously told Rolling Stone. “I was like, ‘If I don’t get this gig, this is gonna be my favorite movie of the year.’”
