If the mystery that surrounds the backstage of do not worry honey continues to thicken, in no way affects its indoor performance. On the contrary. As new clues emerge about alleged conflicts within the film crew, Olivia Wilde’s feature film has just taken the lead at the North American box office after its opening weekend of release.
We thought the film’s chaotic promotion was over since its sensational appearance at the Venice Film Festival, during which Florence Pugh didn’t even show up for the press conference. But an article from vulnerability rocked the tabloids again this weekend. According to an anonymous source, there would have been a “screaming contest” between Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde, as the actress would have had enough of seeing the filmmaker periodically disappear with Harry styles.
screaming contest
What will trigger a new game of ping-pong between the press and the main stakeholders. This time, it was a group of 40 film technicians who stepped forward to debunk the information, stating in a joint press release obtained by People that “there was never a screaming contest between our director and anyone, let alone a cast member.”
In addition, they describe the suspicions of a disagreement between the two women as “absurd gossip” and praise the qualities of Olivia Wilde, “an incredible leader and director who was present and invested in all aspects of the production”.
And on Sunday, a new sign of tension that nobody saw coming appeared on Instagram. Actress Kiki Layne (If Beale Street Could Talk), which plays a minor role in do not worry honeyhe tore up a passive-aggressive caption by claiming most of his scenes were cut:
“The best with do not worry honey, is that I had the opportunity to meet Ari’el Stachel (another actor in the film, editor’s note). Il nous ont coupés de la majeure partie du film, mais dans la vraie vie nous prospérons.” Et d’ajouter les hashtags “J’ai eu mon chèque”, “J’ai eu mon mec” et “Rien n’arrive au chance”.
Bad press and good publicity
And perhaps it is no coincidence that, precisely, do not worry honey easily find your audience. Its first weekend of release saw it top the North American box office, grossing $19.2 million as reported by the Los Angeles Times. Some would even say that bad press has benefited him. In any case, this is the lesson variety:
“Obviously it is an attractive parameter”, reads an editorial in the specialized magazine. “Watching the movie has become a way to further the plot of what happened behind the scenes. Let’s go watch the movie to collect clues!”
Rumors and spit
For months, the press and Internet users have been passionate about the rumors surrounding the feature film. Some have reported deep disagreement between the director and her lead actress Florence Pughothers speculated on the reasons for the (as of yet unexplained) departure of actor Shia LaBeouf shortly before filming.
We reached the height of absurdity at the Venice festival, when Internet users thought they saw his replacement Harry Styles – the director’s companion in the city. spitting on chris pineanother star of the cast.
“No, he didn’t spit. But I think that’s the perfect example of how people love to make scandals out of anything. Harry didn’t actually spit on Chris,” Olivia Wilde said on September 22. the talk show set The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
