Sydney Sweeney is having a moment that refuses to quit. The actress, who has become Hollywood’s reigning It Girl through a combination of serious acting chops and an undeniable screen presence, just watched her latest thriller The Housemaid cross the $354 million mark worldwide. And she’s doing it while simultaneously launching lingerie lines, prepping for Euphoria‘s swan song, and suiting up for a live-action Gundam movie. If there were an award for hustle, Sweeney would be accepting it in something stunning and probably sheer.
Directed by Paul Feig, The Housemaid adapts Freida McFadden’s addictive novel about Millie, an ex-con who takes a job working for the wealthy Winchester family. What begins as a straightforward domestic gig quickly spirals into a twisted psychological game where charm conceals abuse and nothing is as it seems. The film has become a certifiable phenomenon, earning $123 million domestically while also scoring strong box office numbers in the UK and France. With a modest $35 million budget, the thriller has earned over ten times its production costs since its December release. That’s the kind of return that makes studios weak in the knees.
Sydney Sweeney and The Housemaid continues their domination in both theaters and streaming
Critics have been kind, landing The Housemaid at a respectable 74% on Rotten Tomatoes. But the real heat comes from audiences, who have praised the electric chemistry between Sweeney and co-star Amanda Seyfried. The two create a dynamic that crackles with tension, vulnerability, and something deliciously dangerous. It’s the kind of pairing that elevates pulpy material into something genuinely gripping. Lionsgate clearly agrees, because they wasted no time greenlighting a sequel with both Sweeney and Feig returning.
Even as The Housemaid transitions to digital download, where it currently reigns as the number one title, the film continues raking in cash at the worldwide box office. That kind of dual-platform dominance is increasingly rare and speaks to Sweeney’s box office magnetism.
Off-screen, Sweeney launched SYRN, her own lingerie company, which promptly sold out. The campaign leaned heavily into showcasing Sweeney herself, celebrating her figure with the kind of confidence that has become her trademark. Between filming The Housemaid sequel, wrapping the final season of Euphoria, and stepping into the sci-fi world of Netflix’s Gundam adaptation, Sweeney is proving she’s not just a star but a savvy businesswoman building an empire.
