Don’t Worry Darling Is On Track To Be A Box Office Hit After That Absolute Turd Of A Press Tour

Don’t Worry Darling is probably the most talked-about film of the year, for all the wrong reasons. The Olivia Wilde-directed film’s had , leaning towards bad. But that doesn’t matter in showbiz, baby! It’s projected to be a box-office hit anyway! Hmm, what could *possibly* be the reason why… Industry publications like , and the are all reporting that , which officially opens this week, is projected to rake in more than USD$20 million on its opening weekend based off pre-purchased ticket sales alone.

Despite apparently spitting on his co-star during the movie’s chaotic Venice Film Festival outing, he has many fans who will rush to watch him on the big screen. It’s also clear that the high drama surrounding has actually piqued moviegoers’ interest in the flick. A just adds to to the intrigue. Is it going to be so bad it’s good? Is Harry’s dramatic acting are making it out to be? Is noted film critic ‘s going to ring true? According to my colleague , who saw the film last night, “it gives Netflix Original”. Hmm. During the abject chaos of the press tour — which you can re-visit in — I remember wondering if the film’s director / Styles’ girlfriend Olivia Wilde was having a quiet mental breakdown over all the controversy surrounding her movie. But then I realised that if I was semi-interested in seeing to witness the trainwreck for myself, countless others would be that level of petty too. This is free marketing at it’s very best! Somewhere, Olivia Wilde is stroking a Persian cat, Dr Evil style, and fanning herself with money. If you want to make your mind up for yourself, hits Aussie cinemas on October 6.
