Sydney Sweeney’s new film, Christy, had a very slow start at the box office. Released on November 7, 2025, the movie earned only $600,000 from 2,184 screens, ranking at #10 on its opening weekend. For a film starring a popular actress like Sweeney, this performance was disappointing. Many fans and critics were expecting a stronger start, but audiences seemed to stay away despite the movie’s emotional and intense story.
Sydney Sweeney’s ‘Christy’ Opens Slowly at Box Office
Christy tells the story of a female boxer named Martin, who rose to fame in the 1990s. The film focuses on her journey to success and the challenges she faced, including a dangerous situation with her trainer-turned-husband. The story is dramatic and full of emotions, showcasing Sweeney’s acting skills and physical dedication to the role. Her performance has been praised by critics, but unfortunately, that did not translate into ticket sales.
Compared to The Smashing Machine, a biographical sports drama starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Christy performed much worse. The Rock’s movie earned $2.7 million on its opening day, which is more than four times what Christy made. This difference shows that star power alone does not always guarantee box office success. Factors such as marketing, genre, and audience interest play a big role in how well a movie performs.

Despite the slow start, there is still hope for Christy. Some industry experts believe that awards season could help the film gain attention. If Sweeney receives nominations or wins awards, more people may be interested in watching the movie in theaters. Many films have had weak openings but later found success because of critical acclaim or word-of-mouth publicity.
