Margot Robbie Baffled Over ‘Babylon’ Flop and ‘Still Can’t Figure Out Why People Hated It’: ‘I Wonder If in 20 Years People’ Will Be Shocked It Bombed


Margot Robbie still does not understand why so many people hate "Babylon."

Margot Robbie appeared on the “Talking Pictures” podcast and expressed her continued bafflement over moviegoers hating “ Babylon,” her infamous 2022 box office flop co-starring Brad Pitt. Variety’s Peter Debruge called the film an “exuberantly messy look at La La Land’s early days — an acid spin on ‘Singin’ in the Rain,’” adding: “‘Babylon’ feels like the last of a certain kind of movie: epic, extravagant and so unreasonably expensive, it would’ve taken pre-pandemic moviegoing habits to make its money back.” Chazelle himself appeared on the “Talking Pictures” podcast last year and said that he was in the process of writing his next movie, although he was uncertain if he could even get it made after “Babylon” was such a flop.
