Netflix Is Dropping Scarlett Johansson’s 124-Minute Psychological Thriller in 13 Days
He has covered everything from Marvel to the Oscars, and Marvel at the Oscars. He also writes obsessively about the box office, charting the many hits and misses that are released weekly, and how their commercial performance shapes public perception. In his time at Collider, he has also helped drive diversity by writing stories about the multiple Indian film industries, with a goal of introducing audiences to a whole new world of cinema.
Timothée Chalamet might have divided the public with his all-in mentality during the awards season campaign for Marty Supreme, but there's no denying that he showed integrity at a young age when the time called for it. Many years ago, Chalamet was set to headline the romantic comedy film A Rainy Day in New York, alongside Selena Gomez. When decades-old allegations of impropriety resurfaced against the film's director, Woody Allen, Amazon Studios declined to distribute the movie and terminated its overall deal with him. In response, Chalamet donated his salary to organizations supporting survivors of abuse and declined to promote the film. Not everyone who has worked with Allen took such a definitive stance. In 2019, Scarlett Johansson said that she supports the embattled filmmaker and would work with him again. Johansson and Allen made three movies together, two of which are generally considered to be among the filmmaker's best.
Their partnership began over two decades ago with a film that pushed Allen out of his comfort zone in the comedy genre. His two other films with Johansson, however, were both comedies of a different kind. In 2006, he directed Scoop, in which Johansson starred alongside Hugh Jackman. The movie received mixed reviews and grossed $39 million worldwide. In 2008, Allen directed Vicky Cristina Barcelona, in which Johansson starred alongside Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem. It earned excellent reviews and grossed nearly $100 million worldwide. Allen and Johansson's first movie, however, was a psychological thriller.

Here's How Long You Have Left To Watch Scarlett Johansson's Acclaimed Thriller
We're talking, of course, about Match Point. Set in England, the film also featured Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Emily Mortimer, Matthew Goode, and Brian Cox. Allen went on to say in an interview with The Age that it might be the best movie he's ever made. Match Point was both a critical and commercial success, grossing $85 million worldwide against a reported budget of $15 million. It earned a perfect rating from the late critic Roger Ebert and now holds a "Certified Fresh" 77% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics' consensus reads, "Woody Allen's sharpest film in years, Match Point is a taut, philosophical thriller about class and infidelity." In 2019, Johanson said in an interview, "I love Woody. I believe him, and I would work with him anytime.”
Match Point is currently streaming on Netflix, but will leave the platform on April 4. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
