Amazon MGM Studios Challengers is looking at $6.2 million Friday (that includes the near $2M previews), which will get the movie to $15M at 3,477 theaters. How is that? An influx of 18- to 34-year-olds is expected tonight, with a solid hold for Sunday.

On Thursday night, that demo range repped 76% of the pics ticketholders, according to Screen Engine/Comscores PostTrak. Hands down, this is the biggest opening ever, and widest, for Oscar-nominated Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino. Remember, this tennis movie has Imax and some PLFs, essentially all the AMC Dolbys.

Critics love Challengers at 91% certified fresh.

Women over 25 at 35% came out as well as women under 25 at 25%, but guys over 25 got pulled along as dates at 25%, with men under 25 at 14%.

It wasnt Zendayas girl fans who liked the movie the most, but men over 25 at 80%.

Overall best demo grades for Challengers came from the 25-34 bunch (80%, showed up at 37%) and 45-54 folks (82% grade, showed up at 4%).

Yeah, and much more than I thought. Feels almost like a comedic thriller despite supposedly being a romantic sports drama. Just a great mash-up of genres.

A woman cheating on her husband with her ex in a movie about sports romance is pretty cringe. Mind you I only saw the trailer before Godzilla x Kong The New Empire.

Also, the score is fantastic. Amazing how far Trent has come since his fucked up NIN 90s days

Yes, we get it. You have trouble comprehending things and jump to certain preconceived notions. We already know your gig.

I honestly couldn't tell what this movie was supposed to be about from the trailer. Is it a sports story? An injured athlete redemption story? A love story where Zendaya is a pariah?

I don't know

It doesn't matter. Go see it. Seeing movies where you don't know is much more fun. And this is a VERY entertaining movie.

I would not call it an inbred athlete redemption story. There are elements of that yes, but that is not really a story ark within the movie.
