Over A Year After Greta Gerwig’s Barbie Rocked The Box Office, Director Jane Campion Got Real About What It Means For Women’s Budgets In Hollywood
At the 77th Locarno Film Festival, Jane Campion was bestowed with the Pardo d’Onore Manor Award for her lifetime achievements in filmmaking. Alongside accepting this prestigious honor, Campion sat down for interviews with the press to discuss various topics. One of these discussions revolved around Greta Gerwig’s upcoming movie, Barbie, which has garnered significant attention due to its viral success as “Barbenheimer” in summer 2023. Despite the 2024 film schedule not having any comparable phenomenon thus far, Campion expressed thoughts on how the potential billion-dollar earnings of the Mattel-based film could influence future budget allocations for women in Hollywood.
