> “That designation has kind of not worn well after ‘Barbie’ and ‘Mammia Mia’ and other films that completely catch the studios by surprise that people want to see them because they have women in the center of the story,” Streep said. “So we had to scrabble for our budget.” > Streep said she’s even discussed this with “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig, whom she is rumored to be working with on Netflix’s upcoming “Narnia” movie. “I talked to Greta about it. That was true with ‘Barbie’ a little bit, in comparison to what they spend on other films,” she added.
