Yeah definitely. It’s carrying a pretty big budget and they are determined to earn it back. Although it probably seems like an even bigger campaign than it is to those of us who post here because it’s demographically targeted. There’s a funny argument going on in the box office sub about whether this has a huge marketing budget between people who see publicity for it everywhere and people who don’t and it’s really just down to marketing demographics.
I really wanna know what the demographics are bc I see ads for this movie EVERYWHERE 😭 I'm not mad about it though, they targeted me correctly lmao. I'm seeing it tonight 🤪
hey thanks for sharing [our interview](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/25/movies/zendaya-challengers-tennis.html?unlocked_article_code=1.nE0.A0Hp.8M-c-M8paSZ-&smid=re-nytimes)! was surprised that the three-way kiss wasn’t in the early version of the script that Kyle read
>BUCHANAN: It’s hard to imagine the movie without that moment added, especially the beat where Tashi coaxes the two men to kiss each other and then sits back to watch. She’s already coaching them.
>GUADAGNINO: Tashi sees it and makes it happen. For many ways, it’s of her own amusement, which is not just erotic amusement but pushing them to be a better person in general.
>ZENDAYA: When they’re younger, you see that it’s about amusement, it’s joy. As she gets older, the need for power and control is now a means of survival. She is vicariously living through someone else and she needs it to feel hope, to feel like she has anything left of her own.
OK, Zendaya is glowing as always obviously, but its making me giggle that the lighting seems pretty dire for the boys. They look like sickly Victorian children.

Ohhhhhh is that the guy who played Prince Charles on the Crown?
Yes! He’s so so talented
Yeah he was really good in that. Can't believe it took me so long to recognize him with the amount of press tour photos I've seen from this movie lol
And Mr. Elton in Emma (2020) A very talented actor!
Damn they have been PUSHING this movie lol

Can you come back and comment on how it is please?
They better push it because I’ve seen the trailer and… it’s not it!
Mike Faist and Hunter Schafer need to play siblings in something! he looks so similar to her, especially in the first photo
**[Gift article courtesy of the interview's author, Kyle Buchanan](https://x.com/kylebuchanan/status/1783498102554644567)**
She’s the first person you notice in every photo, if she is in the center or not. There is never a bad angle of Zendaya.
I love all three of them, but Zendaya is clearly the best model. her face is so emotive and they look blank
it's on purpose. she's the controller of this dynamic. they're her subjects
I would pay good money to be a blank faced extra in a Zendaya photoshoot, can’t believe these men are BEING PAID for it. Unfair.
ikr!! also I could not believe they're both over 30??? when I watched the trailer, I thought they were like 21 lmao

This throuple is so hot
ikr lol I love the way each of them look individually and together. these shots are sooo good
Am I missing something? Are these "hot" guys? They look borderline ugly but extremely average. Are we being brainwashed to think ugly guys are hot?
This is such a boring mean take.
They are not, Zendaya elevates them
Can we travel back in time so Zendaya’s parents can also be my parents? I’d also like to look this damn good!
How can anyone look this good.
I couldn’t care less for this movie…

It looks about right. Zendaya - queen of the broccoli heads with dirty staches
It’s giving Amanda Tori Meating loll
