In the realm of Hollywood success stories, Margot Robbie’s production banner, LuckyChap Entertainment, stands out as a beacon of creativity and achievement. Following the resounding triumph of 2023’s box office sensation, “Barbie,” Warner Bros. has solidified its partnership with Robbie’s LuckyChap by securing a first look film deal. This strategic move cements LuckyChap’s status as a powerhouse in the industry and reaffirms Warner Bros.’ commitment to fostering top-tier talent.
“Barbie,” which soared to unprecedented heights as Warner Bros.’ highest-grossing film of all time, raking in a staggering $1.45 billion, served as a testament to LuckyChap’s ability to captivate audiences and deliver cultural phenomena. With eight Oscar nominations under its belt, including a nod for Best Picture, “Barbie” showcased Robbie’s multifaceted talents as both a star and a producer.
For Warner Bros., the partnership with LuckyChap represents a strategic investment in top-tier talent, spearheaded by film luminaries Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy. With a keen focus on cultivating creative partnerships, Warner Bros. has made significant strides in securing deals with industry titans like Tom Cruise and enticing filmmakers like Ryan Coogler to bring their projects to the studio.

Most recently, LuckyChap’s latest project, “My Old Ass,” premiered at Sundance and was swiftly acquired by Amazon MGM Studios.
