Dakota Johnson not surprised 'Madame Web' flopped, says she'll probably 'never do anything like it again'
“Madame Web” is one of the biggest flops in comic book movie history. It's star, Dakota Johnson, says the reception did not come as a shock and she'll "probably never do anything like it again."
Sony’s “Madame Web” is one of the biggest flops in comic book movie history. The Dakota Johnson-led tentpole has only grossed $40 million so far at the domestic box office, and its worldwide gross remains under the $100 million mark after three weekends of release. Critics also eviscerated the film (it boasts a 12% score on Rotten Tomatoes from 225 reviews).
For its star, the reception to “Madame Web” did not come as a shock.
“Unfortunately, I’m not surprised that this has gone down the way it has,” Johnson told Bustle in a new interview.
“Is there a reason for that?,” the publication asked her.
“It’s so hard to get movies made, and in these big movies that get made — and it’s even starting to happen with the little ones, which is what’s really freaking me out — decisions are being made by committees, and art does not do well when it’s made by committee,” Johnson answered.
