Sydney Sweeney's appearance on 'Family Feud' with co-stars helped boost the popularity of her film 'The Housemaid,' which is a commercial success and highlights the underserved female audience in Hollywood. The film has earned over $140 million globally and is expected to reach $225-$275 million, with a sequel in development.
'Heated Rivalry,' a steamy Canadian gay hockey drama, has unexpectedly become a hit among women worldwide, tapping into a long-standing female interest in male-male romance and erotica, driven by themes of consent, vulnerability, and fantasy, while also sparking some controversy within the gay community.
The female-led "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" has underperformed at the box office, earning only $32 million over the Memorial Day weekend and failing to attract women and young moviegoers. This poor performance has cast doubt on the future of the "Mad Max" franchise, despite director George Miller's interest in continuing the series. The film's disappointing turnout contrasts sharply with the 2015 "Mad Max: Fury Road," which had a higher percentage of female and young viewers.
