"Don’t Worry Darling" stars Chris Pine and Florence Pugh were both absent from the film’s event in New York City. 

The Hollywood actors explained their absence, stating that they are both working on other projects, in a video message ahead of the film’s screening Monday.

The pair missed the event since it conflicted with their schedules, as Pugh is currently filming "Dune: Part 2," while Pine is working on a movie in California.
