How Zendaya’s tennis movie could break a record.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT These days, anything that Zendaya is in will likely garner a massive audience, and it's likely that her next film, Challengers, will not only succeed, but break an almost 20-year-long sports movie record. What we know about Challengers is that it's a 2024 sports romance film starring Zendaya as a tennis star turned coach that is at the center of a love triangle between two handsome tennis players.
While sports movies are quite common in Hollywood, tennis movies are less so. There are an abundance of iconic and cult classic films about football, hockey, soccer, and baseball, however the best tennis movies are few and far between. The most recent tennis film that gained popularity was 2021's King Richard, and prior to that, Battle of the Sexes and Wimbledon made some sort of name for themselves.
Zendaya Could Power Challengers To Become The Highest-Grossing Tennis Movie Because tennis movies lack the staying power of other sports films, it wouldn't be a stretch to theorize that Challengers could become the highest-grossing tennis movie ever. As of now, the highest-grossing tennis film is 2004's Wimbledon. The film, which follows a weary tennis player that miraculously makes it to Wimbledon, earned $41 million worldwide.
Considering these numbers, Challengers has a very good chance of beating Wimbledon at the box office. This would not only make Challengers the highest-grossing tennis movie of all time, but it would also set a new standard for tennis movies. The number to beat would be much, much higher than Wimbledon gave. This could even spur filmmakers to make more tennis movies with more big stars.
Challengers' Box Office Success Would Be Huge For Zendaya While Zendaya is clearly already successful, Challengers' success would be a different kind of win. This is because the majority of Zendaya's movies are popular in large part because they are franchises. Though No Way Home did well, it was not Zendaya alone that brought in those numbers. On the other hand, if Challengers does well, the reason for that success will point much more to Zendaya.
