Why Sydney Sweeney said instant YES to 'The Housemaid'?

Sydney Sweeney, iconic actress who has gained early success, shared that she was careful about the stories she chose to tell as she promoted her latest psychological thriller The Housemaid.

The American actor, 28, explained that she wanted her films to matter and possibly help people in a way that they can relate and come out to ask for help.

While speaking during her recent interview, Sweeney said that she took sensitive roles seriously and wanted them to have meaning, “Being able to have a film that's on a more commercial level talk about a very difficult topic is important.”

The Housemaid is based on Freida McFadden’s bestselling novel and quickly drew attention online, especially among book fans on social media.

The Euphoria star played Millie Calloway, a housemaid working for a wealthy couple, Nina and Andrew Winchester, played by Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar.

Calling it a special role, Sweeney said, “I love complex, juicy, crazy, twisted stories. This is a dream project.”

However, things changed on Christmas Eve, as the movie's earnings dropped by sixty point eight percent, making only one point four million dollars that day. 

Even a preview of Timothee Chalamet’s Marty Supreme made more money, showing how tough the competition was.

By the end of the weekend, the psychological thriller earned twenty seven point five million dollars in the US, one hundred sixty eight thousand dollars internationally, and a total of twenty seven point seven million worldwide.

The suspense thriller focused on mental health and emotional abuse rather than physical harm.

The Housemaid received strong reviews and opened really well in North America, marking another milestone in Sweeney’s busy year.
