Sydney Sweeney Goes the Dwayne Johnson Way to Defend Christy’s Box-Office Failure

Sydney Sweeney‘s Christy has cracked one top 10 list, but not the one most were hoping for. The biopic, based on Christy Martin, has nabbed the ninth spot for the worst start at the US box office for a movie that received a wide release with over 2000 screens.

Speaking of the movie’s lukewarm start, Sweeney expressed that the box office doesn’t equate to the movie’s impact, claiming that the project has been her most impactful work yet (via Ig).

We don’t always just make art for numbers, we make it for impact. And christy has been the most impactful project of my life.
