Robbie, who received a Best Actress Oscar nod for 'Bombshell', admits she's 'totally lost' on why 'Babylon' bombed, calling the film 'the best work I've ever done'.
Despite a star-studded cast including Brad Pitt and a reported $80 million budget, 'Babylon' grossed just $15 million domestically, becoming one of the biggest flops of 2022 - a major blow for Paramount Pictures.
