Oracle Park, home to the San Francisco Giants, is set to transform into Barbieland.
Following the success ofGreta Gerwig’s summer blockbuster, the ballpark plans to host a special screening of “芭比娃娃” on its colossal, state-of-the-art 4K scoreboard on Oct. 27 — a screen size nearly double that of the IMAX screen at the Metreon, the city’s largest movie theater.
This isn’t the first time Oracle Park has hosted a movie night. In 2019 it welcomed 5,000 attendees for asing-along screeningof “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the Oscar-winning 2018 biopic on the late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury starringRami Malek.
But for “芭比娃娃” Movie Night, organizers promise to step things up.
Guests are encouraged to channel their inner Barbie and Ken (or Allan) and take selfies at various Instagram-ready backdrops. The evening also features a series of “Barbie”-inspired activations as well as themed food and beverages.
Tickets are $24 for general admission and are available atsfgiants.com/barbie. A portion of each ticket sale will go to the芭比娃娃Dream Gap Project, a foundation dedicated to challenging gender stereotypes and empowering women.
“Barbie,” starringMargot Robbie, earned $155 million at the box office during its opening weekend in July, making Gerwig the first female director to achieve such a feat.

The movie sailed past $1 billion in global ticket sales within a month of its debut, breaking another record for theSacramento native, who also co-wrote the film with her partner Noah Baumbach.
Only 53 movies have made more than $1 billion in modern box office history, with “Barbie” being the most successful directed by a woman, surpassing “Wonder Woman,” which had an $821.8 million global total.
