Warner Bros. Responds to Vietnam's Ban on Margot Robbie's 'Barbie' Movie

Vietnam has banned the upcoming Barbie movie due to a dispute over its alleged depiction of the controversial "nine-dash line" in the South China Sea. The line, claimed by China but disputed by other countries, is featured in a child-like map in the movie's trailer. Warner Bros. has stated that the map was not intended to make any statement. This is not the first time a movie has been banned in Southeast Asian countries over the nine-dash line controversy. Despite the ban, Barbie is projected to have a successful opening weekend at the international box office.
