New Bruce Springsteen Flop Fails to Match Bob Dylan Biopic Success
The film Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White, continues to lag behind Timothée Chalamet’s Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown by nearly $100 million at the global box office. Both films opened to similar domestic numbers, but their trajectories have sharply diverged since then.
Box Office Comparison
- A Complete Unknown opened with around $11 million in the U.S. and eventually grossed $75 million domestically.
- The film earned eight Oscar nominations, including Best Actor and Best Picture.
- Deliver Me From Nowhere debuted at roughly $9 million and has so far earned about $15 million in the United States.
- Globally, the Springsteen movie stands at $30 million – over $110 million less than A Complete Unknown’s worldwide total.
Production and Direction
A Complete Unknown was directed by James Mangold and reportedly had a $60 million production budget. Deliver Me From Nowhere, directed by Scott Cooper, cost about $55 million to produce. Despite comparable budgets and similar themes focusing on specific moments in each musician’s life, their commercial outcomes differ dramatically.
It’s becoming clear that “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” is now a complete unknown — both literally and figuratively.
Industry Insight
The contrasting performance of these two films highlights how timing, casting, and critical reception can significantly influence a biopic’s financial fate, even when dealing with legendary figures and similar production conditions.
Author’s Summary
The Bruce Springsteen biopic underdelivered both critically and commercially, failing to replicate the surprising box-office and awards success of last year’s Bob Dylan film.
