## Where is the Support for Sydney Sweeney‘s “Christy“? A Call for a Pop Culture “Buy-Cott”
the initial box office numbers for “Christy” are in, and they’re…disappointing. Despite a wave of conservative praise for star Sydney Sweeney’s recent stand against perceived “woke” questioning, that support hasn’t translated into ticket sales. This raises a crucial question: what’s going on?
