A poor 2025 ends on a high for Sydney Sweeney….
It will be of something of a relief to Sydney Sweeney whose 2025 films have fared poorly after the all star ‘Eden’ bombed (and may not even be released in the UK now), ‘Echo Valley’ went to streaming and a hoped for awards nominee, ‘Christy’ was overlooked and also bombed making less than $2m at the box office.
