Fans defend Margot Robbie as media criticise her for ‘Babylon’s downfall

• The film directed by Damien Chazelle only made $5.3 million in the U.S. after four days.
• Fans of Brad Pitt are not happy that he is taking the blame for the failure.
• The film cost $80 million (£66.2 million) to make.

Margot Robbie has been in the news a lot, since her much-anticipated movie Babylon did not do well at the U.S. box office.

Fans of the actor who played the lead in Suicide Squad are not happy that he is taking the blame for the movie’s failure while Brad Pitt has come out “relatively unscathed.”

The film directed by Damien Chazelle only made $5.3 million (£4.3 million) in the U.S. after four days, even though it cost $80 million (£66.2 million) to make.

“Margot Robbie flopped with Amsterdam and now Babylon,” a social media user wrote while one outlet shared the news with title, “Margot Robbie’s latest movie, Babylon, bombs at the box office.”

Fans of Robbie came out to support her, and they asked why Pitt, who has won an Oscar for a previous role, is not mentioned when people talk about the movie.

“It’s very interesting to see who is taking the fall for Babylon’s box office,” one user wrote on Twitter.

“I’ve just seen more than a few ‘Margot Robbie’s new movie bombs…’ when Damien Chazelle and Brad Pitt are Oscar winners with previous bonafide hits,” the tweet added.

“This,” one user responded, “So much of the ‘BABYLON BOMBED!’ narrative has been centred around Margot Robbie ‘not being a movie star/a draw.’”

“And yet… Brad Pitt, an Oscar winner who has been in the biz twice as long as her and was first billed, has come out relatively unscathed? Huh?” the statement added.
