    Barbie was the highest-grossing movie of 2023, and Mattel is looking to capitalize on that popularity with Barbie The Movie: In Concert, a live-to-film concert experience tour that will include a stop at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on Friday, August 2.

    The tour will start in Tampa, Florida, traveling to 37 cities before wrapping up on August 18 in Wantagh, New York. Two Texas cities made the cut on the tour; in addition to Houston, it will also go to Dallas on August 3.

    Produced by Overture Global Entertainment, the concert will bring Mattel Film’s first theatrical production to life with live music from The Barbie Land Sinfonietta, a special presentation from Orchestrator and Executive Producer Macy Schmidt’s all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra.

    The film will be projected onto a giant LED screen as the Sinfonietta performs the film’s score by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. Promising a "one-of-a-kind immersive experience," the tour will also feature specialty limited-edition merchandise, photo opportunities, and more.

    In addition to the all-women orchestra, Barbie The Movie: In Concert will include a touring road crew consisting of a veteran lineup of all-women technical and production professionals.

    Barbie is nominated for eight Oscars at the 96th annual Academy Awards, to be held on Sunday, March 10. Two of those nominations are for Best Song - "I'm Just Ken," sung by Ryan Gosling, and "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish.

    Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning on March 5 at 10 am through the Citi Entertainment program. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday, March 8 at 10 am via ticketmaster.com.

    Houston reels in new rank among 10 best cities for filmmakers in 2026

    Filmmaking, best cities for filmmakers

    Houston has just snapped up new recognition as the No. 10 best place to live and work as a filmmaker in North America, according to MovieMaker Magazine's annual report, "The Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker in 2026."

    The Bayou City has made improvements after ranking 12th in the magazine's 2025 list.

    The annual list ranks the best cities in the U.S. and Canada for individuals to live while working in the film industry, based on production spending, tax incentives, cost of living, the prevalence of "local film scenes," and additional factors. The list is divided into two categories: 25 big cities and 10 smaller cities or towns.

    The spotlighted cities are the places where the publication believes filmmakers "have the best chance of both succeeding in the famously difficult entertainment industry, and making [their] own art."

    For up-and-coming filmmakers that want to live in Texas, MovieMaker says doing it in Houston is "more sustainable than ever" thanks to incentives like the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program, which increased its production grant rebate from 22.5 percent to up to 31 percent for qualified in-state spending. The report also said Houston has an "arms-wide-open" approach for filmmakers.

    "As the biggest city in Texas, and fourth biggest city in America, Houston has nearly every type of location, from cityscapes to piney woods to rolling hills to nearby farmland," the report said. "It’s close to Galveston Island and the Gulf of Mexico, and car commercials love the absence of billboard advertising."

    MovieMaker also highlighted Houston's diversity, its low cost of living compared to the national average, and its local festivals like the Houston Cinema Arts Festival and Houston Latino Film Festival.

    "The city has enough film crew for two to three sizable features, and recent shoots have included the thrillers Eleven Days, with Taylor Kitsch, and A Love, from director Courtney Glaude, Tyler Perry Studios’ executive creator of Scripted and Unscripted," the report said. "Houston is also notable for a strong contingent of films with budgets under $1 million."

    Elsewhere in Texas, Austin ranked as the No. 5 best place to live and work as a filmmaker in North America. Dallas ranked seventh, while neighboring Fort Worth ranked 12th. San Antonio appeared as No. 14, and El Paso landed 25th on the list.
