Sydney Sweeney’s Christy, released in theatres on November 7, 2025, couldn’t live up to the hype it generated. David Michod directed the film, and Sydney was cast as Christy Martin, one of America’s most formidable female boxers in the 1990s. The cast generated a huge buzz in Hollywood and online, as people were surprised by producers’ choice of Sweeney for the sports drama. Soon, the film’s BTS started making the rounds on social media, and people were convinced that this project could take Sweeney’s acting career to another level.

Unfortunately, Christy couldn’t make an impact at the box office and received mixed reviews from the critics. While some pointed fingers at the script, many people’s opinion was that the film’s director, David Michod, couldn’t do justice to the story. Despite the film’s failure, Sydney Sweeney received a lot of love from cinephiles for choosing projects that challenge her as an actor. Just like her fans, Sweeney isn’t significantly affected by the film’s box-office failure.
