Checked BOM calendar and it would play nicely as a counter-programing to all the horror movies and Equalizer 3. Nothing for ladies that month so it should be well positioned to corner that market.

Just that the type of film it is hasn’t performed well in theaters lately. I mean No Hard Feelings is only tracking for an opening in the teens despite having a likable star like Jlaw. It’s really tough to sell nowadays. I don’t think a September release is going to do significantly better. At best, maybe Don’t Worry Darling numbers. You think Jlaw is likable? I always though public perception is that she’s in the same class of likability as Gwenyth Paltrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly Zendaya is the hottest leading actress of her generation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingonaName Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 The S&M remix is a banger, reckon Zendaya stans can push it pass $100M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misogyny isn’t kind to actresses after they are over 30. Heartbreaking and awful, but it’s the truth. Even more so when they are as popular as Lawrence or Hathaway once were.

upriser7 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 this should be a decent test for Zendaya's star power. These are the kind of movies which struggle theatrically in this post-covid environment. If this opens to atleast $20M domestically, then it would mostly be down to Zendaya 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanic2187 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Ticket in Paradise made $68m last year. Is it too much to ask from Challenges? The trailer style and star power appeal to the crowd that skew a lot younger but I got a feeling that attention are all on just when this coming to streaming. I am just afraid people forget they can actually watch a romantic drama on big screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest hit (adjusted) in the genre is a Hitchcock thriller that's only partly set in the tennis world: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Tennis_films The social media activity seems promising so far, let's see how it goes. Tennis has a rep as a staid, snobby sport and maybe that repels the typical "sports movie" audience. Challengers seems a bit racy for a sports movie and youthful for the tennis audience, but it's not like the latter has been showing up to theaters anyway... Curious how this all turns out.

ChipDerby Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 This film has a lot of things going against it. Adult drama, tennis, SEX?????, mostly unknown male co-stars. Zendaya will need to counteract all of this. Hope it does well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 is a week before but that franchise is a ligthweight now, no way it blows up like the first movie ever again. and the week after Exp4ndables so no direct competition.

It’s opening against A Haunting in Venice, another Agatha Christie adaptation by Kenneth Branagh. The last one did 45m dom so not huge competition. The biggest film that month will probably be The Nun 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
