Overview
- The film has grossed roughly $19–20 million worldwide against a reported $55 million budget, with about $13 million domestic, according to box office tallies cited by Collider and the New York Post.
- Critical notices have skewed negative, with a 59% Rotten Tomatoes score, while audience response is stronger with an 83% score.
- Reviewers frequently praise Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong, though some critics argue White does not capture Springsteen’s onstage charisma.
- Coverage contrasts the film’s returns with recent music biopics that drew far larger crowds, including A Complete Unknown (~$140 million), Bob Marley: One Love (~$170 million), Rocketman (~$200 million) and Bohemian Rhapsody (~$900 million).
- Analyses point to the film’s focus on the bedroom-made Nebraska album and its introspective tone as factors that curtailed broader box office interest.
