\tLooking back at the poor box office performance of her 2019 \u201cCharlie’s Angels\u201d reboot, Elizabeth Banks has some regrets about the film’s marketing.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI wish that the movie had not been presented as just for girls, because I didn’t make it just for girls,\u201d Banks told The New York Times. \u201cThere was a disconnect on the marketing side of it for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tBanks said that \u201cwhen women do things in Hollywood it becomes this story. There was a story around ‘Charlie’s Angels’ that I was creating some feminist manifesto. I was just making an action movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe \u201cPitch Perfect 2\u201d director added that she \u201cwould’ve liked to have made ‘Mission: Impossible,’ but women aren’t directing ‘Mission: Impossible.’ I was able to direct an action movie, frankly, because it starred women and I’m a female director, and that is the confine right now in Hollywood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tBanks recalled a time when a \u201cbig producer of big action movies\u201d told her that she couldn’t \u201cdirect action\u201d because \u201cmale actors were not going to follow me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tBanks’ \u201cCharlie’s Angels\u201d reboot cost Sony and its co-financiers $48 million, but it floundered at North American box offices with only $8.6 million in its opening weekend. Ahead of its release, Banks told the Herald Sun back in 2019: \u201cIf this movie doesn’t make money it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men don’t go see women do action movies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tDespite it being a commercial flop, Banks said she is “proud of the movie.”<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI loved Kristen Stewart being funny and light. I loved introducing Ella Balinska to the world. I loved working with Patrick Stewart. It was an incredible experience,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
