Sydney Sweeney stars as boxer Christy Martin, portraying her successes in the ring and her abusive marriage to much-older manager James V. Martin, played by Ben Foster. Christy opened to $1.3 million at the box office in its opening weekend, ranking among the top ten worst opening weekends for films opening on over 2,000 screens, per Box Office Mojo. Sweeney describes the project as deeply proud and the most impactful of her life, prioritizing impact over box-office numbers. Campaigns tied to the film have helped raise awareness of intimate-partner violence and aim to encourage survivors to seek safety.
