Margot Robbie Compares Babylon’s Box Office Flop To Shawshank Redemption In Candid New Comments (And I Kind Of Take Her Point)
Following the success of two highly praised films by director Damien Chazelle in the 2010s, there was widespread expectation that a lavish production featuring stars Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie would be both a box office and critical triumph. However, this prediction proved far from accurate with the release of 2022’s Babylon. The film garnered mixed opinions from critics and viewers alike and suffered greatly at the box office, earning just $64 million globally against an estimated budget of $80 million. Despite this underperformance, recent comments from Margot Robbie about the movie hint at potential reasons for optimism, and I believe she may be onto something.
