Sydney Sweeney Says ‘Madame Web’ Was a ‘Business Decision’ That Set Up Relationships at Sony: ‘Because I Did That,’ I Got ‘Anyone but You’ Sold
"Madame Web" flopped at the box office, but Sydney Sweeney says it was a smart decision because it got her in the door at Sony Pictures.
Sydney Sweeney said in a recent interview with GQ UK that starring in Sony’s “ Madame Web ” was a “strategic business decision” that more or less paid off despite the film being one of the year’s most infamous box office flops. “Madame Web” was widely panned by film critics earlier this year and it flopped at the box office, where it still hasn’t crossed the $100 million mark worldwide. It’s a far cry from the hit Sweeney delivered with “Anyone But You,” a romantic comedy co-starring Glen Powell that opened in December and generated $214 million worldwide for Sony Pictures.
