Challengers’ journey to success was a bumpy ride; the movie was originally planned for August 2023 release before it was pushed into September of the same year when it would receive its world premiere at the 80th annual Venice International Film Festival. However, the movie ended up being delayed and pulled out from the festival due to SAG-AFTRA’s strike in 2023.
It eventually premiered in Sydney, Australia, in March this year, followed by premieres in Paris, London, and Los Angeles, with legendary tennis player Venus Williams attending the latter.
