It must be profoundly weird, in this moment, to be an executive at toy company Mattel. Like dogs who’ve actually managed to catch the proverbial car, the company—which has long dreamed of leveraging its various iconic brands into success at the box office—finds itself in possession of the top-rated, best-performing movie in the country, as Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie’s take on Barbie continues to dominate the cultural conversation.
