Springsteen Biopic Struggles to Find Footing Despite Audience Praise
27 Oct
Summary
- Springsteen biopic has underwhelming opening weekend
- Mixed reviews, but strong audience score
- Film centers on Springsteen's journey crafting 1982 album Nebraska
On October 21, 2025, the highly anticipated Springsteen biopic "Deliver Me from Nowhere" hit theaters, but its opening weekend performance was underwhelming. The film, starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen, debuted at #4 in the domestic box office, collecting $9.1 million across 3,460 theaters.
While the film received mixed reviews from critics, with a 60% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience rating is a strong 84%. This suggests the movie may benefit from positive word-of-mouth and pick up steam in the coming weeks. "Deliver Me from Nowhere" centers on Springsteen's journey in crafting his 1982 album "Nebraska," which emerged as he recorded the hit "Born in the USA" with the E Street Band.
The film's opening weekend collection is 22% less than the box office success "A Complete Unknown," which won multiple accolades, including major Oscar nominations. Fans and industry observers will be closely watching to see if "Deliver Me from Nowhere" can achieve similar or greater success in the weeks ahead.
