Sources suggest that Julia Roberts is looking forward to leaning on her beloved collaborations with Brad Pitt and George Clooney amid After the Hunt’s failure. They reveal that Roberts and her team are still reeling from the film’s lackluster performance, which earned just $9 million on a budget of $70–$80 million. Now, insiders are revealing that to revive her career, she’s focusing on what works, and for her, that includes her collaborations with Pitt and Clooney, which have delivered strong box office results in the past.
Sources suggest Julia Roberts is turning to Brad Pitt and George Clooney for help
Sources told the National Enquirer that Roberts and her team have been disappointed by the negative reception and disastrous box office results of After the Hunt. This is because the movie was intended to pave the path for the actress to enter the Oscars, but it couldn’t. The source said, “Julia stands by her work in After the Hunt, but the response to the movie has been underwhelming across the board. Julia and her team are reeling from the negative reactions they’ve gotten for the film, which was specifically built for Julia to get back in the Oscar race in a big way.”
Therefore, the source claims that Roberts might stick to what works for her. This includes her decades-long collaborations with Clooney and Pitt. They added, “If their generation has a ‘holy trinity,’ it’s Brad, George, and Julia, and she’s already pledged to join them again in the next Ocean’s movie they’re putting together.” The source gives an example of Robert’s 2022 Ticket to Paradise collaboration with Clooney, which turned out to be way more successful than expected by the duo. They also further revealed that the Oceans movie will be “cinematic comfort food” for the audience and that it aims to hit good results at the box office.
“The other dynamic going on here is strictly personal. Julia doesn’t trust a lot of people, but she does trust George and Brad, and they don’t hold back when it comes to praising her, deferring to her, and treating her like true Hollywood royalty,” the source added.
Directed by Luca Guadagnino, After the Hunt is a psychological thriller that centers on a star student who brings forward accusations against one of the professor’s colleagues. Things become personal when the student threatens to expose one of the professor’s deepest, darkest secrets.
