Lol please. A random opinion piece doesn’t make it factual. They are giving her some credit for Spider-Man’s success which is almost as stupid as your claim.

What movie is killing it at the box office because of Zendaya?

No one is going to the theater just to see her and you know it

Variety isn't random, they've covered the movie industry since before the beginning of Hollywood. The people who own movie theaters tell you she's bankable but you reject this information as opinion? Pretty dumb.

Isn't she the lead in HBO's Euphoria? None of the movies she's in lose money. Spider Man and Dune print it. I assume you know how blockbusters work. No one star carries these movies by themselves.

Challengers and The Drama say otherwise. Both are profitable indie releases with her as the lead. The Drama covered it's budget in one weekend.

What a lovely date movie!!


It's a dark comedy. It supposed to make you laugh but feel kinda bad about it. I thought it did a good job for what it set out to do.

I was dragged to it by my wife and her sister. I didn't know a thing about this movie, but I ended up really enjoying it. Pattinson and Zendaya are great in it

You morons are acting like the wise theater owners are actually operating thriving businesses.
News flash, they’re not. Might not want to take their opinions so seriously.

Everyone knows the industry is struggling, but how does that dispute what they're saying? They feel she's doing better than others. Don't see what's so controversial about that

I don't know what's so controversial about Zendaya on here. Actually I do, it's because people like her and her boyfriend and Timotheee Chalamet would be C-listers 20 years ago but Hollywood sucks so unfathomably bad these days they're the best they can do for A-listers

Never said it was. I said it was a random opinion piece. Which it is.

Yes she is the lead in a tv show that gets no box office money. You are correct. And quite literally zero of the Spider-Man franchise or the Dune series success is credited to her.

quote:

Challengers and The Drama say otherwise. Both are profitable indie releases with her as the lead. The Drama covered it's budget in one weekend


Challengers didn’t even make 100 million in theaters and that’s your example of her being a top 10 bankable actor? Lol get out of here you sound stupid.


I’m not even saying she’s a bad actress. But to pretend she’s one of the world’s top 10 most “bankable” actors is just dumb. Anyone in this thread could name 10 current actors off the top of their head that have more box office pull then her

The opinions of movie theater owners hold weight. Your opinion does not. I bet they have way more data on hand about profitability and bankability than you do.

It's one of HBO's most popular shows. Zendaya is the romantic female lead in two massively profitable franchises. She most certainly deserves some of the credit.

Challengers made $100 million on a $50 million budget. The Drama made back it's $28 million budget opening weekend. You said no one was going to the theater to see her. I gave two examples of profitable indie movies she starred in that made good money. That's being bankable.

You're wrong about Zendaya. She is a bankable star, as movie people have already told you. Saying "you're retarded" and "you're stupid" aren't persuasive arguments in your favor. Stop being an a-hole.

Dbl post. I will add that I don't think she's a great actress. She seems to have a limited range but seems serviceable. I thought she did a decent job in Challengers and Dune. But she's got a model body.

Nothing says not bankable and no one wants to see her like making $150 million off an indie picture.

No doubt. We are only 3 months into 2026 and it MIGHT make it into the top 10 highest grossing movies of the first quarter. Has good chance of finishing in the top 50 for the whole year.

What exactly are you expecting an indie film like this to make?

I don’t expect any zendaya led film to make a ton of money, looks like she can only get leads in indie films or play the love interest in other big franchises.

Almost like she’s not a huge name draw.
