Barbie to get new post-credits scene in special IMAX release
Barbie is getting a post-credits scene hand-picked by director Greta Gerwig but there’s a catch. If you want to see it, you’ll have to make it to a hyper-limited IMAX run that was just announced by Warner Bros.
Greta Gerwig’sBarbieis a certified global phenomenon at this point and has skyrocketed to the second highest-grossing film of 2023. It might haveflopped in South Koreabut the filmbeat out The Dark Knightfor Warner Bros. highest highest-grossing US release of all time.
The film has spawned countless TikTok trends and sparked some controversy along the way. EvenJoe Rogan had to come to its defensewhich was not on our 2023 bingo card.

When can you see Barbie in IMAX?
Barbie will play in IMAX theaters from September 22 until September 29. The one-week run will feature a slightly altered cut of the film which includes new post-credit footage.
It makes sense that Warner Bros. would want to cash in on the massive success of Barbie. Particularly given its other ventures likeThe Flash didn’t perform as well as they hoped.
Barbie was kind of a saving grace for the studio in 2023. It was expected to do well but it shocked the world whenit won the Barbenheimer battle.
