As of May 6, 2024, Challengers has grossed $30.3million in the United States box office and $23million in other territories.

Ralph Fiennes has beaten box-office juggernauts Gladiator 2 and Wicked to win 12 BAFTA nominations including best actor and best film for his movie Conclave.
The British actor, 62, won his first and only BAFTA 32 years ago for his hit holocaust film, Schindlerās List, and is tipped to win again for his role in the thriller about finding a new Pope based in the Vatican City.
Back on home soil, Conclave has been nominated for twice as many gongs at the BAFTAs than it was earlier this month at the Golden Globes in Los Angeles .
The hit thriller starring Fiennes, Stanley Tucci and Isabella Rossellini is about a secretive and high-stakes election of a new Pope, where power, ambition, and personal secrets collide among the warring cardinals.
It has beaten the Golden Globesā big winner, the Spanish drama Emilia Perez, which has come in second in the number of nominations with 11 BAFTA nods after sweeping up 10 gongs in the US award ceremony.
Gladiator 2 has yet again been snubbed by Award judges after it was shunned for Best Film and its leading man, the Irish star Paul Mescal, 28, failed to make the BAFTA longlist for Best Actor.
It comes after Ridley Scottās epic was snubbed at the Golden Globes in the US earlier this month after it was nominated for just two awards and failed to take any home.

Denzel Washington, 70, who played Macrinus, was long-listed as a supporting actor but has been bumped off the nominations list by BAFTA judges.
British actress, Kate Winslet, 49, has similarly dropped out of the running for a BAFTA for her role as Lee Miller in the war photographerās biopic after being included in the longlist last month.
Demi Moore, 62, who picked up her first acting accolade ever at the Globes for her role in Substance has been nominated for Leading Actress along with Wickedās Cynthia Erivo, 38, and Saoirse Ronan, 30, for the Outrun.
Film industry insiders believe the Ghost starās admission into the BAFTA shortlist will raise her hopes of securing her first Oscar.
During her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, the mother of four said: āThirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a āpopcornā actress and that I could do movies that were successful but I couldnāt be acknowledged. But tonight I learned, I do belong.ā
Elsewhere in the BAFTA nominations, the Succession brothers, Jeremy Strong and Keiran Culkin will battle it out for Supporting Actor for their performances in A Real Pain and the Trump biopic, The Apprentice.
Strong, 46, is known for being difficult to work with on set for his āF***ing annoyingā acting methods - according to Brian Cox who he starred opposite alongside the younger Culkin brother, 42, in the HBO hit series.Ā
Meanwhile, Adrien Brody's film The Brutalist has received nine BAFTA nominations, followed by Dune 2 and Wicked - both getting seven nominations.

BAFTA chairwoman Sara Putt told the PA news agency the nominations list was "just such a brilliant variety".
She added: 'But then also, when you look at the 10 films in best film, I think you've got six different genres in there.
'You've got sci-fi, you've got comedy, you've got horror... you've got straight drama, you've got musicals, and to see horror, with Nosferatu and The Substance and Heretic, all getting nominated.
'You know, films with music in them that you can go from Wicked through to Kneecap. It's an amazing list with real breadth and depth, which is very exciting.'

Jane Millichip, CEO of BAFTA, said: 'The 42 films nominated today span a fantastically broad spectrum of genres with enormous breadth in creative expression; from the most intimate character pieces to epic societal commentaries via genre-bending dramas, musicals and comedies.
'The film industry has delivered in spades once again. We look forward to acknowledging this amazing body of work at the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards.
'With just over a month to go, we encourage film fans everywhere to watch as many films as possible ā there really is something for everyone.
