Olsens thoughts on movie release in general

Olsen also voiced her concern about streaming platforms making movie deals directly. Stating that the move has a negative impact on low-budget films. “I would like to see art films and art house theatres,” she expressed. “And so I do worry about that, and people having to keep these theatres alive. And I don’t know how financially that works for these theatres. But I do think it’s going to be how it used to be when studios owned theatres,” she estimates.

Sudeikis regarded Johansson’s legal manoeuvring as “appropriately badass and on-brand.” In addition, the Ted Lasso star mentioned, “I just hope that with that still comes creative autonomy, and we don’t lose sight of that.”
