Christy and Ella McCay Rank Among 2025’s Biggest Box-Office Flops

Despite heavy pre-release buzz, the star-led releases posted minimal ticket sales compared with their reported budgets.

Overview

  • Christy opened to $1.31 million domestically, plunged about 91.7% in its second weekend, and ended with roughly $1.98 million worldwide on an estimated $15 million budget.
  • Disney’s Ella McCay debuted with $2.1 million across about 2,500 U.S. theaters and reached approximately $5.1 million globally against a reported $35 million budget.
  • Industry reporting frames Ella McCay as one of the studio’s weakest wide openings on record.
  • Both titles drew pre-release attention and notable casts yet failed to sustain audience turnout once in theaters.
  • Disney’s broader performance was cushioned as Zootopia 2 cleared $1 billion worldwide, helping offset Ella McCay’s losses.
