Sydney Sweeney’s latest film faces a tough opening weekend as box office numbers fall short of expectations. The boxing biopic Christy, which stars the 28-year-old actress as pioneering female fighter Christy Martin, earned just $600,000 on its opening day across 2,814 theaters, positioning it for a projected three-day debut of around $1.25 million. The film opened at number 11 at the domestic box office, behind Tron: Ares, marking the third consecutive 2025 release for Sweeney to debut with a three-day total below $2 million.
