El Pasoans, from moms and daughters to teenagers, families and couples, were among the crowds of people nationwide that gave "Barbie" its record-breaking weekend. The film opened July 19 in theaters nationwide and is directed by Greta Gerwig.
The Warner Bros. film claimed the top spot with a whopping $155 million in ticket sales from North American theaters, surpassing "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" as the biggest opening of the year and breaking the first-weekend record for a film directed by a woman, according to the Associated Press.
Fans of Barbie, from grown women who grew up playing with the dolls to 6-year-olds with pink bows, went to theaters this past weekend to see the icon come to life. Many movie fans got into the spirit by dressing in all-pink outfits, including jewelry or a blond wig or making shirts to match.
El Pasoan Lupe Juarez said she grew up with Barbies, and seeing the movie was nostalgic. She wanted to take her goddaughter Saber Grace Flores, 6, to show her what she grew up with.
"It went from wanting to take her to the movie to really creating an experience for her. I had lots of good memories with Barbie. I had the van, and the swimming pool, the suitcase to carry them in and the dollhouse. So I wanted her to see it the way I saw it," she said.
Juarez said she couldn't help but have matching shirts for her and Saber to wear with the logo.
Here is what you need to know about the film.
Barbie movie run time
The "Barbie" runs for a confirmed 113 minutes and 54 seconds. That'sone hour and 54 minutes.
Why is the new Barbie movie rated PG-13?
The movie is rated PG-13 with some words that parents might find inappropriate for young children. It also has some suggestive references and adult humor. Barbie is played by Margot Robbie and Ken is played by Ryan Gosling.
The film is about stereotypical Barbie venturing into the "real world" to learn which hapless human has been causing her to malfunction. Along the way, she learns who made her, the trap of trying to be perfect and the tangled web of patriarchy and feminism, according to movie reviews.
Children will be captivated by the beautiful imagery of Barbie's world and should get the message of living their dreams and that it's OK to be different, Juarez said.
