Margot Robbie is one of the most popular and talented actresses in Hollywood today. She has worked in many successful films like Barbie, I, Tonya, The Wolf of Wall Street, Suicide Squad, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Because of these strong performances, she has earned both fan love and critical praise. However, even big stars sometimes face failures, and one such film in Robbie’s career was Babylon, released in 2022.
Margot Robbie’s Babylon Finds New Life on Netflix
Babylon starred Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt and was directed by Damien Chazelle, who earlier won an Oscar for La La Land. The movie showed the wild early days of Hollywood and featured a large cast, including Diego Calva, Jean Smart, and Jovan Adepo. When it was released in theaters in December 2022, expectations were very high. Sadly, the film did not connect well with audiences and struggled badly at the box office.

Reports suggest that Babylon was made on a budget of around 80 million dollars but earned only about 65 million dollars worldwide. This may look like a small loss at first, but movies also cost a lot to promote. When marketing and other expenses were added, industry estimates claim that the film caused the studio a loss of nearly 87 million dollars. Because of this, Babylon became one of the biggest box office disappointments of that year.
Now, the film is getting a second chance. In December 2025, Babylon is officially arriving on Netflix in the United States for the first time. Many people who skipped it in theaters can now watch it at home. Streaming platforms often help films find new viewers, and sometimes movies that failed in theaters gain appreciation later.
