Zendaya's Challengers topped a very sleepy box office, with Christian music drama Unsung Hero in second place

Luca Guadagnino ’s new sexually charged sports drama Challengers —which might also, now that we think of it, be described as an athletically charged sex drama—is expected to triumph at the U.S. box office this weekend.

By those standards, Challengers’ $15 million makes it a goddamned blockbuster. It also puts it well ahead of a film that might be viewed, in some lights, as its polar opposite: Faith-based period drama Unsung Hero, in which, as far as we can tell, nobody fucks anybody over their deep and passionate love of tennis. Distributed by Lionsgate, the film follows the rise of Christian music family the Smallbones, with Joel Smallbone not only co-writing and directing, but also playing his own father.
