The actress further expressed her frustration with it as she questioned, "How can it be associated with art and content?" Blunt then cited the example of her award-looting movie Oppenheimer which had defied all the futile norms to prove just how irrelevant algorithms are.

Among the Hollywood gems who have constantly strived to serve silver linings with projects, they star in stands Emily Blunt. The actress' filmography seems to be a deep dive into the diversity of cinema. While not enough can be said about her prowess, Blunt has also taken the bait and starred in movies built on the exact elements that the algorithm deems successful. The latest of the lot being Jungle Cruise.

Released in 2021, Jungle Cruise stars Dwayne Johnson alongside Emily Blunt and a series of plot holes. Despite grossing over $221 Million worldwide, it joined the flock of her least-grossing projects. Said flock also included the likes of The Girl on the Train, Looper, and Sicario. While these are few in number, they do prove that Emily Blunt shines the brightest when she is in a creatively liberating project.
