Sydney Sweeney has scored a major comeback with her latest film, The Housemaid, which has become a surprise box office hit, grossing $133 million in under three weeks on a $35 million budget. The film's success has led to a sequel, The Housemaid's Secret, with Sweeney and director Paul Feig set to return. This marks a significant turnaround for Sweeney, who has faced a series of career setbacks, including several poorly received films and public controversies, such as backlash over a denim ad campaign and her political affiliations. Despite recent challenges, Sweeney's performance in The Housemaid has restored her standing in Hollywood, and she is slated for more high-profile projects, including the next season of Euphoria and a rumored role in a live-action adaptation of Gundam.
