Sydney Sweeney’s latest release, Christy, has rounded off its opening weekend in theaters, and came in at an anticlimactic 11th place in the box office. Christy is a sports drama focused on the rise of pro boxer Christy Martin in the 90s. However, the movie wasn’t such a hit with audiences despite its inspirational subject matter. Alongside mixed critics’ reviews, it scraped in just $1.3 million from its opening weekend, despite a generous rollout at 2,011 theaters. In contrast, Remi Malek’s Nuremburg was shown at just 1,802 theatres, but blew Sweeney’s biopic out of the water by raking in $4.1 million. Top of the leaderboard was Predator: Badlands, which earned an incredible $40 million over the same weekend. Just prior to her film release, Sweeney addressed her controversial American Eagle advertisement. “I did a jean ad,” Sweeney told GQ when asked about the reaction. “I mean, the reaction was definitely a surprise, but I love jeans. All I wear are jeans. I’m literally in jeans and a T-shirt every day of my life.”
