The glamorous spies of “The 355” were no competition for the movie theater’s reigning webslinger.Spider-Man’s box office dominance continued in its fourth weekend in theaters, adding another $33 million, according to studio estimates on Sunday. With $668.8 million in North American ticket sales to date, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is now the sixth highest grossing release of all time domestically.
The quintet of women in the film packs major starpower. Jessica Chastain plays CIA agent Mason “Mace” Brown, Diane Kruger (“In the Fade,” “National Treasure”) plays rival German agent Marie, Lupita Nyong’o portrays computer intelligence hacker Khadijah and Penélope Cruz rounds out the espionage foursome as Colombian therapist Graciela.
Universal and FilmNation’s greatly panned (24% on Rotten Tomatoes), but star-studded female spy movie The 355 is not off to the best of starts with $350K from Thursday night previews which started at 7PM yesterday at 2,300 theaters.
Where to start with Universal’s female-led action spy movie “The 355,” a staggeringly ill-conceived effort on every level if we’re going to put it lightly and politely. From all accounts, “The 355” was born on the set of “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” (a terrible movie, to be candid), wherein co-star Jessica Chastain said to the film’s writer/director Simon Kinberg (paraphrasing), “why don’t we do an action espionage movie with all-women leads?” Kinberg immediately said yes, and Chastain went into her Rolodex of famous friends and quickly found a star-studded cast to be on board.
It’s always a little suspect when too much is made of a big action movie being “female-fronted.” Unfortunately, Hollywood has decided lately that in course correcting for decades of gender inequity in certain genres that it’s not enough to just make an action-packed movie starring more than one woman: They must let the audience know that they know that this is A Girl Power Moment. And frankly, whether it’s the lady Avengers assembling in “Infinity War,” a montage of Girls Doing Sports and Science in the latest “Charlie’s Angeles,” or all of “Ocean’s 8,” it’s never not insulting to its purported audience.There have been subtler, cleverer and just plain better efforts at bringing women to the forefront of so-called male genres (from “Widows” to “Spy”), but it’s hard not to go into something like “ The 355,” which has been written about as a female “Jason Bourne” meets “Mission: Impossible” for over four years, a little wary.
Fighting for what’s right! Many Hollywood actresses have utilized their platforms to try and close the gender pay gap and advocate to be compensated the same as their male counterparts.
The 355, the movie Jessica Chastain was promoting, she made sure she and the other working moms in the cast didn't have to choose between the project and their families, setting up a “kids” trailer on set. "I love bringing families on set," Chastain told .
