The 2024 Mean Girls remake starring Rapp ranked No. 1 in active subscriber households during the first quarter of 2024. Both Mean Girl titles, including the 2004 original starring Rachel McAdams as Regina George, ranked in the top 10 for active subscriber households among all movies in 2024.
As for Rapp, she said one of the reasons she feels like the character of Regina and the Mean Girls world as a whole resonates so closely with consumers of all ages is because of how relatable Regina is despite being so terrifying and dramatic.
“Playing Regina is like free therapy,” Rapp said. “And the Mean Girls universe? A goldmine. You could live in it forever and still find 100 new ways to be petty.”
