Warner Bros. tries to secure a ‘Barbie’ sequel deal before rights lapse
Warner Bros. is working to strike an agreement before December, when rights for a sequel are set to revert to Mattel.
Three years after the $1.5 billion hit from the original film, Warner Bros. is seeking a deal for a potential sequel ahead of a December deadline, when the sequel rights are scheduled to revert to Mattel, according to The New York Times Business.
The outlet reports that the studio is scrambling to reach an agreement before that reversion date, implying that timing is central to whether the sequel can move forward under existing rights arrangements.
