Barbie was one of the pop culture hits of 2023. Before it came out, I don’t think anyone knew what to expect. After it came out, many people didn’t know what to think. It certainly broke expectations by a wide margin, especially the expectations of women. You can see in the chart below that Barbie scored significantly higher across all age groups, for both males and females. Apparently, no one disliked this movie. But some liked it a lot more than they expected.
Analysis
- The first thing that stands out is that women had a higher expectation and final rating across all age groups, with the exception of the 50-59 age group, where men rated the movie just a tiny bit higher—86.95 to 86.7.
- Men in the 20-29 age group had a slightly higher difference between expection difference than women—5.3 for men vs 5.2 for women. But for every other age group women’s expectation difference was higher than men.
- 60+ women had a lower expectation than their male counterparts, yet their final rating was 14.5 points higher than expectation. That’s the biggest gap across all age groups and genders.
- The 60+ age group had the lowest expectation for both men and women. It was also the age group with the largest difference between expectation and final rating, with the exception of the 30-39 group for men.
- Young women had the highest expectation for the movie, and then expectation decreased just a little bit for each successive female age group.

about the RunPee app.
Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

Check out the Peeple’s Poll breakdown for Oppenheimer.
Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
