Robbie’s LuckyChap team echoed the sentiment, expressing their enthusiasm for the project. “Monopoly is a top property — pun fully intended,” they remarked in a statement. “Like all of the best IP, this game has resonated worldwide for generations.”

Zev Foreman, Head of Film at Hasbro Entertainment, highlighted the storytelling potential of Monopoly, calling it “one of the most iconic games in the world.” He expressed excitement for the collaboration with LuckyChap and Lionsgate to bring the game’s historic legacy to the big screen.

Barbie, LuckyChap’s previous release, achieved remarkable success, grossing over $1.4 million globally and earning critical acclaim. The production company’s upcoming ventures also include a film adaptation of The Sims, in partnership with Roy Lee and Miri Yoon of Vertigo Entertainment.

Directed by Greta Gerwig, ‘Barbie’ garnered eight Academy Award nominations and won ‘Best Original Song’ for Billie Eilish’s ‘What Was I Made For?’

Margot Robbie will also produce a ‘Sims’ movie, helmed by Loki director Kate Herron, which is still in early development, with casting details yet to be announced.
