Born to Flop: "Deliver Me From Nowhere" Struggles at the Box Office
Bruce Springsteen may be a legendary musician, but that hasn’t translated into box office success. The new biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White from The Bear, has earned only $19.4 million worldwide. That’s a weak showing for a Disney film about an American icon who has sold more than 128 million albums over five decades.
Audiences who have seen the film seem to appreciate it. The movie holds an 83% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite that, few are heading to theaters to watch the story of Bruce’s journey. The reason may lie in the fact that Springsteen, while immensely gifted and beloved, doesn’t have a life rich in scandal or turmoil.
“He’s brilliant, talented… and a big ol’ snooze.”
Known as one of the greatest songwriters ever, Springsteen is also a grounded and introspective person. After a brief marriage to Julianne Phillips, he has spent 34 years with his wife Patti Scialfa. The film doesn’t even reach that chapter of his life. It concludes when Springsteen is just 32, wrestling with anxiety — hardly a tale designed for popcorn thrills or Oscars buzz. At best, the film serves as a quiet meditation on self-discovery.
Author’s Summary
This understated biopic about Bruce Springsteen falters at the box office, reflecting that even legends can make compelling music but dull cinema.
