Sweeney's 'Christy' Crashes: Record-Breaking Box Office Drop

Sydney Sweeney's latest film, 'Christy,' has experienced a dramatic box office downturn, marking the largest second-weekend drop in recent history at 91.7%. After opening to $1.3 million, the biopic's earnings plummeted to approximately $108K in its sophomore weekend, with its theater presence shrinking significantly from 2,184 to 817 screens. This steep decline places 'Christy' in a series of underperforming releases for the actress.

The underperformance occurred despite 'Christy' receiving mixed-to-positive reviews and a 67% Rotten Tomatoes score. The film's production budget was around $15 million, with a break-even point estimated between $30 million and $37.5 million. Industry analysts note that while this result is disappointing, it was not entirely unexpected given the modest scale of 'Christy' and 'Americana,' Sweeney's previous release.
