Sweeney has been the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/08\/01\/nx-s1-5487286\/sydney-sweeney-american-eagle-explained-why-controversy-racist-eugenics-trump-bathwater-ad-klein-statement\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:subject of criticism;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">subject of criticism<\/a> after her recent American Eagle jeans campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, this is not the only biopic about a combat sports legend to underwhelm at the box office. The Smashing Machine, which, similarly to Christy, features a career-defining performance from Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson, grossed under $6 million during its opening weekend. It has made about $20.2 million worldwide since its theatrical release in Oct. 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Previously, Sweeney has made box office hits. Anyone but You, a rom-com also starring Glen Powell, made over $220 million worldwide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Shortly after Anyone but You, Sweeney starred in Madame Web, a Spider-Man spin-off, which was a disaster. It barely grossed $100 million worldwide during its theatrical run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Amid all of her box office flops, she did make a hit. Immaculate was a Neon horror movie released in March 2024. It grossed over $5.3 million during its opening weekend, and it made over $35 million during its entire run. Sweeney produced the horror flick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Hopefully, Sweeney\u2019s luck turns around with one of her future projects. She will next star in The Housemaid, a horror movie directed by Paul Feig.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In Christy, Sweeney plays the boxing legend Christy Martin. The biopic \u2014 which was directed by David Mich\u00f4d \u2014 chronicles her rise to fame and her relationship with her trainer-turned-husband James V. Martin (Ben Foster).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Related: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/donald-trump-hilariously-calls-play-000456806.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Donald Trump hilariously calls play-by-play during Lions-Commanders;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Donald Trump hilariously calls play-by-play during Lions-Commanders<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Related: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/klay-thompson-apologizing-picking-megan-010415585.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Klay Thompson apologizing for picking Megan Thee Stallion up late from airport goes viral;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Klay Thompson apologizing for picking Megan Thee Stallion up late from airport goes viral<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The post Sydney Sweeney\u2019s Christy is one of the worst box office flops ever appeared first on ClutchPoints.
