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.

Your welcome.
I was wondering when I was watching the movie if the writer could have picked a different part of his life to focus on or just do an overview of his entire life. This would have been a better movie.
This! to paraphrase the Greaseman he sounds like he takes a massive on the stage
I wish I’d kept my mouth shut.
LOL!
Although not a Biopic, a movie that inspired me was about the group Rush called “Beyond the Lighted Stage”.
I want a Biopic about Alice Cooper. His documentary “Super Duper Alice Cooper” was a real eye opener. I recommend both highly.
Never liked Springsteen’s music, even before I found out about his politics. Nothing special, not worth the hype. Tom Waits or Bob Seger could sing rings around him.
i only went to one bruce concert at rfk stadium… our section was behind the sound tent and couldnt see the stage except for bruces feet. the jumbo screens weren’t working. by the time they got the jumbos fixed, he was doing dancing in the dark and the first shot on the jumbo trons were bruces feet dancing. our whole section yelled, we can see his feet!
Beyond the Lighted Stage is at my local library. I’ll have to check it out.
And despite Freddy’s proclivities, he kept it private and never talked about politics.
He left his estate to his former girlfriend..................
Look carefully at the “Born In The USA” album cover and notice what Bruce is doing to the American flag.
Is Bruce Springsteen gay?
He is wearing multiple earrings.
#33 Lorenz Hart was Hart of Rodgers and Hart. Rodgers who went off to team with Hammerstein.
Were they popular at all like Taylor Swift....? 😁 😜
What?
Rodgers and Hammerstein did
Sound of music
The king and I
Oklahoma
South Pacific
Carousel
Tom Waits’ songwriting is light years better than Springsteen’s.
#93 I never heard of those rap songs....
A few good songs, but the rest were all negative downers.
Then he morphed from “everyman” to liberal a-hole.
Well, whether you are joking or not, would you please watch just one of them
When the kids were little we saw all of them, sometimes many times per day. As kids will do
We got out the sheet music, listened to the best versions on the rod/in the car
Along with the others, from Lerner, Lowe, Hart, Wilson, Mercer and our beloved Irving Berlin, of God Bless America
Most of whom were Russian Jew immigrants, or first gen, who adored and appreciated our country
You get the kids- ok the girls- to watch these and you get an entire dramatized, romanticized history of our -the US- foundation and development
Tge above mentioned Rodgers and Hammersteins
Seven brides for seven brothers
On the Town
Take Me out to the Ball Game
Anchors Aweigh
The Music Man ( Robert Preston Carolyn Jones)
Meet me in St Louis
Annie Get your gun
Cole porters kiss me Kate is a bit racy but …
Music, lyrics action
When the kids got to middle school they’d say- the kids are listening to music and I’m listening but it’s not good music
That’s because they were brought up on the real thing
There. Take it or leave it
But you have to sit for 4-12 year old girls and you’re all set.
Never cared for Bruce.
Jimi Hendrix, on the other hand, was touched by the hand of God.
#98 If Taylor Swift would only lip sync to these tunes they might become popular...
