Madame Web star Dakota Johnson is once again making headlines for her box office track record. Amid the buzz of ‘Materialists,’ the actress is facing backlash for scoring low at the box office of Madame Web. But the actress has refused to take responsibility for the movie’s failure. During a recent interview with The Los Angeles, she said, “It wasn’t my fault, there’s this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee. Or made by people who don’t have a creative bone in their body. And it’s really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way.”

Dakota Johnson also talked about big-budget films and their failures. “And I think unfortunately with Madame Web, it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time,” she added. Just like a cool superhero, she brushed off the backlash faced by her and said, “I don’t have a Band-Aid over it. There’s no part of me that’s like, ‘Oh, I’ll never do that again’ to anything. I’ve done even tiny movies that didn’t do well. Who cares?”

In an interview at the end of 2024, Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra acknowledged the film’s underperformance at the box office and explained, “Madame Web underperformed in the theatres because the press just crucified it. It was not a bad film, and it did great on Netflix.” Showing his disappointment he reflected, “They also did it with Venom, but the audience loved Venom and made Venom a massive hit. These are not terrible films. They were just destroyed by the critics in the press, for some reason.”
