Overview
- The biopic earned $9.1 million in North America and $7 million overseas for a $16.1 million global opening, placing fourth domestically.
- Backed by Disney’s 20th Century Studios at a reported $55 million budget, the debut lands well below typical break-even thresholds.
- Industry coverage ties the weak turnout to the film’s focus on the making of 1982’s Nebraska rather than a broader career-spanning narrative.
- Comscore data show the audience skewed older and whiter (59% over 45; 85% white) as younger crowds favored ‘Chainsaw Man’ and ‘The Black Phone 2.’
- Rotten Tomatoes scores hover near 60% from critics with roughly 85% from audiences, and Jeremy Allen White’s performance drew widespread praise.
