Sydney Sweeney‘s “Christy”โข Faces Boxโ Office Disappointment Despite Intense Preparation
Sydney Sweeney underwent a rigorous three-to-four-month โคtraining regimen and gained โ13 pounds of โขmuscleโ to portray Christy Salters in the recently released biopic, Christy. Despite Sweeney’s dedication to โauthenticity, the film has flopped in the โฃAmerican market, earning only $1.3 million on โits opening โweekend. This places Christy among the 10 worst wide-release opening weekends in recent years, trailing only films released during the height of the โCOVID-19 pandemicโค (Aprilโข 2020 – May 2021). In comparison, the โฃBruce Springsteen biopic earnedโ $9 million during its opening weekend.
Sweeney,who also served as a producer onโ the film,expressed pride in the project,stating,”I’m proud. why? Because we don’t always create just for the sake of good numbers, the cultural impact โis โฃalso crucial. And โฃChristy is theโ most impactful project of my life.”
Despite the poor box office performance,โค the film โฃtells the story of Christy Salters and is currently playing in Hungarian cinemas.
