Overview
- The movie has earned about $13 million in the U.S. and roughly $19–20 million worldwide against a reported $55 million budget, according to recent tallies.
- Critics’ scores have slipped to around 59% on Rotten Tomatoes, even as some viewers report higher satisfaction, with one outlet citing an 83% audience score.
- Coverage highlights praise for performances by Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen and Jeremy Strong, despite broader reservations about tone and pacing.
- The film’s narrow concentration on the making of Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska is widely cited as limiting mass appeal compared with broader, music-packed biopics.
- Industry comparisons note far stronger grosses for recent music biopics like Bob Marley: One Love, Rocketman, A Complete Unknown, and Bohemian Rhapsody, underscoring the film’s underperformance.
