Anyone But You Was A Massive Success For Sydney Sweeney, And Apparently Madame Web Played A Big Role In Making That Happen

Movies



While Sydney Sweeney has been professionally acting for 15 years and gained recognition for her starring roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus Season 1 (both of which can be streamed with a Max subscription), the last 12 months have seen her profile significantly rise on the film front. It started with the successful release of Anyone But You, where she performed opposite Glen Powell. Unfortunately, the critically-maligned and commercial bomb Madame Web followed just a few months later, but reportedly the fourth movie in the Sony’s Spider-Man Universe franchise played a big role in making the romantic comedy happen.

As part of a report sharing how Sweeney will receive $7.5 million for starring with Amanda Seyfried in a thriller from Lionsgate called The Housemaid, more than $5 million than what she received for Anyone But You, THR mentions that the actress only agreed to do Madame Web in order to help get the rom-com off the ground. Sweeney performed as Julia Cornwall (better known in the comics as Julia Carpenter) first because, according to an unnamed source, she wanted Sony Pictures to know “she was a team player.” Madame Web only ended up making a little over $100 million off a reported budget of $80 million, but Sweeney walked away with a $750,000 paycheck.
