Her latest movie Carrie had a disappointing opening weekend in the US, taking in just $17 million of a projected $22 million.
However, 16-year-old actress Chloe Moretz is valiantly plugging the horror remake abroad and stepped out at a photo call in Japan on Wednesday looking older than her years.
The blonde star sported a red and black spotted below the knee dress, which she paired with black sandals as she valiantly posed for photographs.

Despite the movie’s disappointing takings in the US, Chloe appeared to be in high spirits, smiling and waving as she completed her duties.
Chloe beat out Dakota Fanning, Emily Browning and Lily Collins to land the part in Carrie, which scored Sissy Spacek an Oscar nomination in 1977.
The horror flick was released in the Unites States last Thursday and holds an average score of 49 percent from film critics on Rotten Tomatoes with a 67 percent audience rating.
However, if Chloe’s popularity in Japan is anything to go by, the movie will do better internationally than it did in the States.

On Monday, Moretz showed her international star status as she was mobbed by fans upon arrival in Japan for a press conference.
The blonde starlet was accompanied by her mother, Teri Duke Moretz, and brother Trevor Duke Moretz who often act as her chaperones given her young age.
As the trio attempted to leave the airport, fans and waiting snappers mobbed the actress and local police formed a protective ring around her and helped clear the way so the family could get into their waiting vehicle.

Next year the in-demand teen will star in the mystery thriller Dark Places with Charlize Theron, Christina Hendricks, and Nicholas Hoult.
Chloe will also appear in Antoine Fuqua's The Equalizer with Oscar winners Denzel Washington and Melissa Leo.
But despite the glitz and glamour, Moretz has said her parents keep her 'totally grounded.'
'My mom has always said that if I get a big head, she'll take me out of this business as quickly as I got into it,' the sought-after actress told MTV News in 2010.
'I have to go to bed at 9:30, and if I'm up late on the computer, I lose it for two months.'
