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.

Trump Claims The White House Was 'A Sh*t House' When He Moved Back In—And Everyone Had The Same Response

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump has made significant, controversial changes to the White House since he took up residence for his second term on January 20, 2025.

The renovations in just over one year include installing pavers to replace the grass in the Rose Garden, adding gold decor throughout the building and especially in the Oval Office, renovating the Lincoln bathroom to add marble and more gold fixtures, adding gold signs for White House features like it's one of Trump's resorts, hanging a plethora of massive portraits of himself in gaudy gold frames, and demolishing the entire East Wing of the building to erect a self-described monument to himself, an unpopular golden ballroom that will dwarf the rest of the building.

When asked about her future political ambitions during an appearance at the Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago, New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was notably candid, saying her "ambition is to change this country," as she ripped a Washington Post editorial that tried to knock her down a peg for her take on the morality of billionaires.

The progressive is not currently considered the frontrunner in early 2028 Democratic primary polling but some surveys suggest she has already emerged as a serious contender in what is expected to be a crowded field.
