Actress Jenna Ortega, known for her roles in popular series like Wednesday and Scream, is gearing up for the streaming debut of her latest movie 'Miller’s Girl' on Netflix. Despite a lackluster performance at the U.S. box office, the film is set to reach a wider audience through the streaming platform.
'Miller’s Girl' had a disappointing run in theaters, earning only $321,000 domestically on 350 screens during its one-week release. The international box office numbers were slightly better at $465,394, but still fell short of expectations given the film's $4 million production budget.
The R-rated comedy-drama features Ortega in the role of Cairo Sweet, an 18-year-old high school senior entangled in a controversial relationship with her older teacher, portrayed by Martin Freeman. Despite the critical reception on Rotten Tomatoes, where it garnered a low rating, fans of Ortega can look forward to the film's Netflix premiere on April 25.
For those eager to watch 'Miller’s Girl' before its Netflix release, digital rental options are available on platforms like AppleTV+, Prime Video, and VUDU. The film can be rented for $5.99 or purchased digitally for varying prices.
Ortega's rising stardom in Hollywood has been marked by her standout performances in series like Wednesday and Scream, as well as her upcoming role in the Beetlejuice sequel 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.' With over 40 screen credits to her name, including voice roles in animated shows, Ortega continues to captivate audiences with her diverse acting range.
As fans eagerly await the return of Ortega as Wednesday Addams in the second season of Wednesday on Netflix, her career trajectory shows no signs of slowing down. Stay tuned for more updates on Ortega's upcoming projects and performances.
