Box Office: Zendaya’s ‘Challengers’ Serves $6.2 Million Opening Day


Zendaya and Luca Guadagnino's tennis love-triangle drama 'Challengers' scored a solid opening day at the box office.

The Zendaya starrer will easily launch above the competition to claim the top spot on domestic charts — not small potatoes for an original, R-rated drama in the age of studio IP addiction. Hoping for a second place finish, Lionsgate is opening Kingdom Story Company’s “ Unsung Hero,” a Christian musician biopic about the formation of the pop duo For King & Country. Also opening this weekend, Roadside Attractions’ is putting “Boy Kills World,” an R-rated beat-em-up starring Bill Skarsgård, in 1,993 theaters.
