With the aim of producing more female-driven projects, Robbie and her future husband, Tom Ackerley, and their respective longtime friends, Sophia Kerr and Josey McNamara, started their own production company, Lucky Chap Entertainment. The company was founded in 2014, and its name was inspired by Charlie Chaplin. Robbie appeared in four films released in 2015. The first of these was opposite Will Smith in Glenn Ficarra and John Requa’s $158.8 million-grossing romantic comedy-drama film Focus. In the film, she played an inexperienced grifter learning the craft from Smith’s character; she learned how to pickpocket from Apollo Robbins for the role.
