"The company now expects to exceed $1.7 billion in free cash flow for the third quarter of 2023, in part due to the strong performance of 'Barbie' as well as incremental impact from strike-related factors," the entertainment giant says in a regulatory filing.

A lot of people worked very hard on the movie to make it happen, and it did well because it's a good movie made by good people, and it's wrong for WB to take the full credit for that. So, give the people what they deserve for their hard work, and the strike ends. Simple as that.

But, I'm realistic, and at this point it's clear that WB doesn't feel pressured enough to listen to reason yet. So, help us make them listen to reason, and keep supporting the strike in any way you can.

I went and saw Barbie twice. I caught the show when my fiancée was out of town, then took her out to see it when she got back. The movie works on a lot of levels and I thought it was well done. Great writing, great cast.
