The actress, 45, tweeted her support for the film she wrote, directed and produced on Monday despite its low performance at the box office.
“Well, if you’re going to have a flop, make sure your name is on it at least 4x. I’m proud of #CharliesAngels and happy it’s in the world,” Banks tweeted.
The multihyphenate also responded to criticism for rebooting a third iteration of the franchise, telling theWall Street Journal, “You’ve had 37Spider-Manmovies and you’re not complaining!”
“I think women are allowed to have one or two franchises every 17 years — I feel totally fine with that,” she added.
The film debuted in theaters on Friday and made $8.3 million in its opening weekend. It grossed $19 million at the international box office, according toBox Office Mojo.

Banks also expressed excitement about the uniqueness of the film, an action movie starring three women that doesn’t involve super-heroics.
“I wanted to celebrate the everyday woman who is out there fighting for herself,” she said. “We kept it really grounded. The women do a lot of their own stunts. And they fight, not just with their bodies, but with their wits and their resilience and their grit. And that is something that these women are showing off in spades in this film.”
