Sydney Sweeney has reportedly reversed a run of box-office disappointments with the early success of her new film, The Housemaid, as she continues to rebuild momentum after a turbulent period in the public spotlight.

The report said Sweeney faced intense online backlash tied to a jeans advertisement controversy and that several of her recent projects underperformed both commercially and critically. It added that The Housemaid, co-starring Amanda Seyfried, is being framed as a strong return to form.

According to figures cited in the story, the film has generated roughly $111.5 million worldwide about 10 days after release, including a substantial domestic haul alongside additional global earnings. The performance is presented as especially notable given a reported production budget of around $35 million.

The report also suggested the new results have reminded audiences of Sweeney’s earlier hits and said the film is now competing for attention alongside other major releases.
