Biographical dramaSports drama
Christy represents a 2025 American biographical sports drama directed by David Michôd, with screenplay contributions from Michôd and Mirrah Foulkes, featuring Sydney Sweeney, Ben Foster, Merritt Wever, Katy O'Brian, Ethan Embry, and Chad L. Coleman. The motion picture depicts the ascent of former professional boxer Christy Martin (Sweeney) to prominence as America's most recognized female boxer during the 1990s, followed by her coach-turned-husband's 2010 endeavor to murder her.
The film debuted globally at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival on September 5, 2025 within the Special Presentations segment. It premiered in theaters on November 7, 2025 through Black Bear Pictures, collecting $1.3 million during its opening weekend in America, according to Box Office Mojo's assessment placing it among the worst 12 debuts for newly released films opening on over 2,000 screens. Consequently, this production has been labeled a box-office failure. It initiated at #11 on the box office charts, beyond the top ten rankings, and declined to #23 during its second week. Critics offered divided responses to the film, although commendations were extended toward the acting, especially Sweeney's portrayal.
