In a shocking turn of events, Sydney Sweeney's latest film, Christy, has set an unwanted record in Hollywood history. The biopic, based on the true story of boxer Christy Martin, opened to lukewarm reviews and disappointing box office returns in its first week. Despite hopes for a turnaround, the film's second weekend saw a staggering 92% decline in collections, making it the worst second-week drop in box office history. The film's domestic total stands at a mere $1.9 million, while its international box office earnings remain at a dismal $14,000. The film's struggles are not limited to the domestic market. Christy was completely wiped out in international markets, failing to generate any revenue in its second weekend. The movie's worldwide gross currently stands at under $2 million, a meager figure considering its estimated production budget of over $15 million. Directed by David Michôd, Christy tells the story of Christy Martin, a former professional boxer who rose to fame in the 1990s before facing a violent confrontation with her husband-turned-coach. Sweeney underwent extensive training and gained over 40 pounds to portray the boxer in the film, which also stars Ben Foster, Merritt Wever, and Katy O'Brian. The film's box office performance has raised concerns about the viability of big-budget biopics in today's cinematic landscape. As Christy continues its downward spiral, it's clear that the film's producers will be left with significant losses, making it a costly lesson in the risks of investing in a high-profile project.
