Sidney Sweeney‘a hall of fame spin doctor, or she’s got showbiz all figured out… because she’s explaining why the epic failure of ‘Madame Web’ is actually good for her career.
The actress basically has a strategic business perspective on the film crashing and burning at the box office… counting GQ UK she’s seeing it as a smart move in the grand scheme of things, because her involvement in the film has strengthened her ties to the big wigs at Sony.
Sydney says starring in the film opened doors she wouldn’t have had access to otherwise.
Case in point, thanks to her Sony connection, she was able to make her other movie, “Anyone But You,” and even landed the lead role in the new movie “Barbarella” – all under the Sony umbrella.
As for directly addressing the “Madame Web” backlash… Sydney is saying she was just hired as an actress and was happy to bring the character to life.
But when it comes to the consequences of failure, she’s fine with riding the wave wherever it takes her, especially since she’s not in the producer’s shoes.
IYDK, in 2020, Sydney launched her own production company, Fifty-Fifty Films, which helped with the success of her other film, “Anyone But You”, co-starring Glen Powell.
“Madame Web” didn’t hit the same mark – just raising US$25.8 million in the domestic market on its opening weekend.
But as far as Sydney is concerned, a movie’s plot isn’t an obstacle when it comes to choosing scripts… she’s just focused on building professional relationships.
Translation: Syd is playing the long game!
