Meghann Fahy Gets Top Billing On ‘Drop’
Following Meghann Fahy’s success of Max’s The White Lotus Season 2 — which earned her an Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series Primetime Emmy Award nomination in 2023 — and a pivotal supporting role in Netflix’s limited series The Perfect Couple, Fahy is billed as the lead actor in Drop.
In an interview with Variety before Drop was released in theaters in April, Fahy told the trade publication that she was excited to be No. 1 on the call sheet for the film.
“It’s been amazing. It’s so interesting when you go film something, and then a year later, you get to see and share it with people,” Fahy told Variety. “It’s a really, really cool moment. I loved the process of making the film so much. It was a very new experience for me in a lot of ways. I learned a ton, and I met some amazing people.”
Ultimately, Fahy knows there are several other talented people who come together to make movies happen.
“I formed such close relationships with the cast, especially Brandon Sklenar and [fellow actor] Jeffrey Self, so sharing the moment with them is something I will remember when I look back because it felt like such a team sport,” Fahy told Variety.
“Everybody in the cast was there every day, from the beginning to the end of the day, whether or not they ended up being on camera, because we never knew how far we were going to get [in each scene],” she added. “So, it felt very communal, like, everybody was a big part of the making of the film.”
Drop earned $16.6 million domestically and $12 million internationally for a worldwide box office gross of $28.6 million. Drop had an $11 million production budget before prints and advertising, per The Numbers.
Drop was a big hit with Rotten Tomatoes critics, who collectively gave the film an 84% “fresh” rating based on 220 reviews. Drop also earned a 79% “fresh” Popcornmeter score based on 1,000-plus verified user ratings.
Rated PG-13, Drop begins streaming on Peacock on July 11.
