Dakota Johnson has flown to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with her partner Chris Martin after reports that her film Madame Web had a disastrous opening weekend at the box office.
After negative reviews from critics who declared her latest project one of the worst superhero films in recent memory, 34-year-old Dakota appeared to seek solace on a sunny beach alongside her 46-year-old partner.
Despite news that her suspense thriller is officially Sony's lowest-grossing Spider-Man film of all time, the actress appeared unfazed as she frolicked in the sea in a high-cut white swimsuit.
Martin, who was previously married to Gwyneth Paltrow from 2003 to 2016, held Dakota's hand as they waded into the water together to cool off.
The couple splashed in the water before returning to shore, where the father-of-two knelt in the sand and said a prayer of thanks.

Sony Pictures' “Madame Web” posted one of the worst superhero box office returns in recent memory, essentially leading to the cancellation of a potential franchise at the studio.
The film grossed a paltry $26.2 million in its first six days from its debut midweek on Valentine's Day through President's Day on Monday.
This tally became one of the lowest opening numbers of any film based on a Marvel Comics character.
The studio had plans to launch a new franchise based on Dakota Johnson's title character and three other female characters played by Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced and Celeste O'Connor.
But now insiders tell The Hollywood Reporter that given the abysmal box office returns, there probably won't be another Madame Web film for another decade.
Although it is not known when exactly they met, the two became romantically involved for the first time in 2017.
The couple has been living together in a multi-million dollar beach house in Malibu for several years.
Their romantic getaway to Mexico seems to be the perfect destination for the couple as he loves surfing and she loves swimming.
Over the years, they have supported each other professionally, with Johnson appearing at Martin's performances and him at her premieres.

In June 2023, the singer even sang a serenade for his girlfriend when his band visited Naples.
They even worked together once, with Dakota, the director of Coldplay's 2020 music video for the song Cry Cry Cry.
The actress previously spoke about working hard to keep her relationship out of the spotlight.
She explained that her focus on privacy in the relationship is due to a combination of reasons.
One of them is that she and Chris are a blended family and that means her family's privacy affects more than just her and Chris.
The couple's privacy also concerns the singer's children from his marriage to Paltrow – daughter Apple and son Moses.
Another reason she gave is that she is the daughter of two celebrity parents – Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith – and therefore knows what it's like to grow up in the spotlight.
The actress, one of seven half-siblings, said: “Maybe I think differently about relationships like this because of how I grew up in my family.”

The latest sighting of the couple came after Johnson revealed that she had yet to see Madame Webb despite her role as the title character.
“I don’t know when I’ll see it,” she said during an interview with Magic FM. 'Someday.'
After humorously recalling that she skipped the Madame Web premiere to “go out to eat” instead, Dakota insisted her decision had nothing to do with the film itself.
“For me, it’s a way to avoid having an existential crisis,” she admitted. “Not watching my films is like self-care.”
The Fifty Shades of Gray star also confessed that she never “Googles” herself.
Madame Web, which also stars Sydney Sweeney, debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with an incredibly low 17 percent rating.
Critics called the film “as stupid and schlocky as the worst film in the genre” and “a ridiculous affair.”
X, formerly known as Twitter, was flooded with negative comments about it, with one person calling the film “a series of failures and missed opportunities.”
Another described it as “a clunky, poorly written, chaotic and sloppy film full of mediocre editing and performances.”
Another user simply wrote: “Morbius was better.”
Sony's Morbius, released in 2022 and starring Jared Leto, is considered one of the worst-reviewed superhero films of all time, with a low 15 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
However, some people praised Madame Web online following its premiere.
