It might be a while before Barbie heads to streaming, but Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav has given us a vague idea of when.
"We really believe in the motion picture window – let it play out…go into PVOD, take it through the windows that have worked forever (in the business). When it goes on Max, it will have a good impact in the fall," Zaslav said (via Deadline).
We're not sure at what point in the fall, but Deadline believes the movie will hit airlines in September – so you can sing along to 'I'm Just Ken' out loud on a crowded plane during a five-hour flight.

Zaslav commented about the building of said summer, which included a Barbie Dreamhouse special on HGTV which garnered over 4 million viewers, a Barbie Food Network special, as well as a sneak peek at the film being shown during NBA Finals on Turner Sports.
"All of our platforms can have an impact globally," he said of Barbie's promotional campaign, giving a shout-out to director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie. "It starts with great content."
