The movie — which has to do with old Hollywood and the development of “talkies” — had huge star power connected to the credits … in addition to Margot as the lead, it likewise included Brad Pitt, Tobey Maguire, Olivia Wilde, Chloe Fineman, Eric Roberts, Flea, Max Minghella, and so on.
Plus, there’s the director — Damien Chazelle — who’s an Oscar winner … and with a rather significant spending plan of $80 million (and a great deal of marketing) it’s uncertain why this one didn’t succeed with spectators this holiday. The mixed reviews most likely didn’t assist.
Interestingly, there’s another movie Margot belonged of previously this fall that had extremely comparable vibes — another star-studded lineup (Christian Bale, Robert De Niro, Rami Malek, Taylor Swift, and so on.) that came together for ‘Amsterdam’ … which likewise flamed out in theaters.
It just made about $6.4M throughout its opening weekend in Oct., and went on to gather simply $16M or two locally general — this after yet another $80 mil spending plan invested to make it.

Bit of a hard year for Margot on the movie front — not just were things meh at the ticket office … however she likewise stated the ‘Pirates’ movie she was connected to had been killed by Disney — despite the fact that among the manufacturers for the franchise firmly insisted that’s not rather the case.
She’s got a lot on the horizon for 2023, however — MR’s currently set to star in ‘Barbie’, along with a Wes Anderson flick, ‘Asteroid City,’ … not to discuss her own ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ prequel. The just (capacity) issue … all of those will have very stacked casts too.
Good luck!
