With her most recent film, Christy, actor Sydney Sweeney has continued her terrible run at the box office. The film, which is a biography of boxer Christy Martin, had terrible box office returns during its first week of release and received mixed reviews. In its second weekend, any prospect of a comeback has been squashed. In its second week, Christy witnessed the worst-ever collapse for a movie, and it was totally destroyed abroad.
Christy’s opening weekend domestic receipts of $1.3 million were among the lowest for a wide distribution in Hollywood history, according to Box Office Mojo. As if this weren’t awful enough, the movie’s second weekend earnings dropped by 92% to just $108K. Compared to previous wide releases, this movie’s opening weekend receipts are the worst in Hollywood history.
Christy has earned a pitiful $1.9 million at the domestic box office as of November 20. In other areas outside of North America, the movie’s performance has been significantly worse. After making barely $14K overseas on its first weekend of release, Christy was removed from theaters across the globe on Monday.
Its foreign total has increased by zero dollars in its second weekend. The global box office receipts for the movie are still below $2 million. The movie is likely expected to finish its run with a worldwide total of less than $2 million, a catastrophic amount for a movie that cost more than $15 million, as daily profits are currently around $20,000.
Christy, which was directed by David Michôd, tells the tale of Christy Martin, a former professional boxer who rose to the top of the US boxing rankings in the 1990s before her husband, a former coach, attempted to kill her. Sydney Sweeney underwent intensive boxing training and gained more than 40 pounds to play the boxer in the movie. Ben Foster, Merritt Wever, Katy O’Brian, Ethan Embry, and Chad L. Coleman are among the other actors in the movie.
