As great as I found director Scott Cooper’s Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, nothing about its box office failure is surprising. And it is not only a failure; it is a shocking failure for box office analysts who projected an opening as high as $25 million with a $15 million worst case.
Well, as of this morning, the groomers at the Disney Grooming Syndicate are wishing that worst-case scenario had come about, because Deliver Me from Nowhere is staring into the abyss of a pathetic $9 million weekend debut and a humiliating fourth-place finish.
According to various reports, Nowhere cost $60 million to produce, at least another $50 million to promote, which means Disney will need to gross at least $200 million worldwide just to break even
That ain’t happening.
So, what did happen? How did a biopic about Freddie Mercury gross almost $1 billion worldwide? Bob Dylan’s biopic grossed $140 million. Elton John hit $195 million. Springsteen will be lucky to gross half of Dylan’s $140 million worldwide.

I saw him as a poseur, a creation of Columbia Records PR Department. They tried to promote him as the next Bob Dylan.
I didn’t buy it. He was just a guy faking his down to earth persona to get rich. A lot of people fell for it...........
When Springsteen was new, before he was well-known, word on the street was he was the “new Dylan”.
He wasn’t.
> How did a biopic about Freddie Mercury gross almost $1 billion worldwide?
Because Freddie’s dead, and thus couldn’t f*** up the market for this movie, while Springsteen is still alive and every week seems to find a new way to be a repellent leftist douchebag who alienates his potential audience.
Unless you’re an actual, 17th century sea captain pirate with burning matchsticks in your beard and blood crusted cutlass, a male with an earring makes you a fag. Badly fagly.
Angel is good when they’re good. What they did with Mother Cabrini (Saint) story was propaganda. It slipped through
The soul on fire movie? I looked at it. I think I can tell the whole movie looking at the poster
Also I took care of battlefield burn victims a lot. Don’t want to revisit
I like Angel. Have run into one of their producers a few times at events. Super nice and doing real work.
LOL!
His music sounds like he is chronically constipated.
Bombed in the USA
Baby, he was born to bomb. To the tune of born to run.
I seem to remember reading that he cheated on the current wife that he left the first wife for.
Only Lyle Lovett has more talent in his little finger than Springsteen has in his entire body.
Do you agree?
Abysmal. And the horror movie line up. Never have I seen volume like that on that genre
I saw roofman. Channing Tatum very good when he’s good
The script was ridiculous. Especially b/c it was a true story
I will see blue moon
That’s the story of Lorenz Hart
Lorenz Hart was Hart of Rodgers and Hart. Rodgers who went off to team with Hammerstein.
“ He dumped his wife for a band mate
I seem to remember reading that he cheated on the current wife that he left the first wife for.”
I should just say silly infidelity.
Bruce ain’t Freddie Mercury. Not even close.
I don’t like da itch because he gives America’s Blue Collar guitar, the Fender Telecaster, a bad name. James Burton and Waylon Jennings put Brucie’s butt to shame. RCA’s Chet Atkins tried to fire Jennings because the way he picked his Telecaster made the records skip. LOL! Just a good ol’ boy. You did good hoss. James has the nickname, The Master of the Telecaster.
Maybe this movie would have attracted attention in the 90s.
Yep. That was a good movie. (Plus, Freddie liked kitties.)
I have no desire to see a movie about Brucie.
I think he sees himself as a current day Woody Guthrie... but Guthrie was not a billionaire with a daughter practicing equestrianship and doing a show on Broadway charging $500 a ticket.
For me there never was a time.
As he became more of a beta and woke it just got worse
