Sydney Sweeney Offers Iconically Unbothered Reaction To 'Madame Web' Flopping At The Box Office

The actor opened up to 'The Los Angeles Times' about the dismal performance of 'Madame Web'—but she's not losing any sleep over it.

Actor Sydney Sweeney is opening up about the disastrous box office performance of Madame Web, and she's doing it in the most hilariously unbothered way possible.

During a recent Los Angeles Times interview, Sweeney was asked about how she felt about the film, which starred Dakota Johnson and has become perhaps the most hilarious-for-all-the-wrong-reasons film flop since CATS in 2019.


But Sweeney was very blasé about it. Her response was basically, "eh whatever, I just work here."

She told the LA Times:

“I was just hired as an actress in it, so I was just along for the ride for whatever was going to happen."

Being an actor really is just a job sometimes, it seems. And as one of the fastest-rising stars in Hollywood, Sweeney clearly has learned by now the maxim that "there's no such thing as bad publicity."

If there were, though, Madame Web would be the poster child.

The film, which had an $80 million budget, grossed just $43 million in the States and has a 12% Rotten Tomatoes Score. Ouch.

And that's even after it became an instantaneous meme on Twitter from people going to see it just to know how bad it really is—again, much like CATS.

Sweeney is clearly like, "whatever, my check cleared *shrug*" which you have to admit is pretty iconic. Star Dakota Johnson can't be bothered with the movie either, recently saying she "can't say I don't understand" why the movie was "ripped to shreds."

On social media, people loved Sydney Sweeney's "meh" take on the whole Madame Web debacle.









Sweeney's next big release, the horror movie Immaculate, is already winning raves, so she's sure to bounce back anyway.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's deposition in the Epstein case had to be paused yesterday after Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert secretly snapped a photo of her and sent it to right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson—who then immediately posted it online.

Clinton, who along with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had insisted on testifying publicly regarding matters tied to the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, faced hours of questioning in a closed-door deposition after Republican Chair of the House Oversight Committee refused to make their depositions public.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul Trolls Kash Patel With Epic Zing Over 'Heated Rivalry' Airbnb Listing

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's FBI Director, Kash Patel, is facing backlash over his taxpayer-funded locker room booze fest at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics in Italy.

Patel flew to Italy on a taxpayer-funded FBI plane despite having repeatedly criticized his predecessors for such excursions throughout 2023 and 2024. But an FBI spokesperson claimed it was not a personal trip because Patel met with Italian law enforcement and the U.S. ambassador to Italy during his visit.

But in all actuality, TikToker @laysuperstar's brother, Hugh, did not only pack a singular sock for his trip, even if that's what the airport baggage claim would like you to believe.
