“BARBIE 2” IN CRISIS

• Warner Bros. has made more than six offers in the past three years for “Barbie 2” to #GretaGerwig, #MargotRobbie and more, all of which have been rejected.

• The most recent deal came this spring and, per a studio source, was the highest Warner Bros. has ever offered for a filmmaking team and its stars. One source called it “life-changing money.”

• The new financial asks from Robbie, Gerwig, #RyanGosling and Noah Baumbach include pay bumps in upfront fees and generous increases in back-end participation. Gosling is reportedly asking for $20 million to reprise Ken. The team is not asking for first dollar gross, meaning they’d get paid from the box office pot before the studio recoups a dime.
