Sydney Sweeney’s new movie is officially a massive flop.
Christy, Sweeney’s Oscar hopeful, made $US1.3 million ($AU1.9 million) over opening weekend screening in 2011 cinemas.
The film had a disastrous per-theatre average of $US649 ($AU995) ranking it among the poorest wide theatrical launches ever.
The biographical drama, starring Sweeney as 1990s boxing trailblazer Christy Martin, struggled to connect with moviegoers despite an extensive promotional campaign and featuring one of the world’s best known stars.

The box office bomb tells the story of Martin’s rise to fame as a female boxer and her nightmarish escape in 2010 when her trainer-turned-husband tries to kill her.
It marks Sweeney’s third box office bomb in a row after Americana and Ron Howard’s Eden.
“The MAGA crowd said she was going to be a huge box office draw after her voter registration leaked and Trump praised her. Since then, all three movies that she’s had big roles in that have come out have all flopped,” remarked one fan on Reddit.
“Imagine being one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and not being able to actually release a hit movie,” teased another.
British actress Aimee Lou Wood publicly slammed fellow The White Lotus star Sweeney on social media.
The British star, 31, weighed in after celebrity photographer Misan Harriman shared a clip from a new GQ interview with Sweeney in which she brushed off the backlash surrounding her American Eagle ad that sparked controversy over its slogan: “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans”.
“Presuming that you are not a white supremacist, at least say how horrified you were by how this campaign was amplified and celebrated by unrepentant racists who believe in eugenics,” he wrote.
“At least recognise the harm your jeans campaign has caused black folk. The undertone of the campaign is that your genetics are superior to others – the play on words is clear as day and racists LOVED it!
“So, presuming you didn’t know when you shot it, you certainly do now, and it matters. This ain’t it!”
After watching the clip and reading the caption, Lou Wood simply replied with an emoji of someone throwing up.
Her reaction quickly went viral on social media, with fans sharing screenshots of the interaction on Reddit and Twitter.
