'Barbie' Receives Max Streaming Premiere Date

'Barbie' Receives Max Streaming Premiere Date

Warner Bros. Pictures and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is set to make its streaming debut on Max on December 15.

The Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling-led film will arrive on Max with an interpretation in American Sign Language (ASL), championing the film’s themes of inclusivity. Barbie with ASL was produced for Max featuring ASL performer Leila Hanaumi and is “[g]rounded in research and feedback from the Deaf community, as well as counsel from community leaders.” It will be displayed as a title in-app, with a special sign language symbol identifier in its key art.

To celebrate the arrival of Barbie with ASL, Max will host a special community screening on December 14 in Los Angeles, with Robbie and Hanaumi joining for a post-screening conversation.

“Max is the premiere destination for storytelling, so being able to share the biggest movie of the year in ASL, the first language for many, will make this story resonate in a more meaningful way,” said Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO and Max Content. “By offering sign language interpretation, we will build upon the film’s empowering message of inclusiveness and offer a unique viewing experience for the Deaf community to enjoy with family and friends.”
