Bruce Springsteen Biopic 'Deliver Me From Nowhere' Loses Steam as Opening Weekend's Glimmer Fades
A second weekend at the domestic box office proved to be a tough sell for Disney's biographical drama, "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere," which tumbled out of the top five. The film, directed by Scott Cooper and starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen, had opened with $8.8 million in ticket sales from 3,460 North American theaters two weeks ago but saw a precipitous drop to just $3.8 million this week.
Despite maintaining its presence at 3,460 venues - the most of any film in domestic release - "Deliver Me From Nowhere" fell by an astonishing 57 percent from its opening week gross, relegating it to a seventh-place finish at the box office.
While the film's international ticket sales have contributed $14.3 million to date, earning the picture a modest worldwide total of $30.5 million, that still falls short of expectations given its production budget of $55 million before marketing costs. Interestingly, a significant portion of the film was shot in Springsteen's home state of New Jersey, generating a substantial economic boost for the Garden State.
The biopic itself explores an intriguing chapter in Springsteen's career - the creation and release of his 'Nebraska' album during a particularly tumultuous time. The album was recorded at a remote house rented by Springsteen himself, featuring songs inspired by his difficult childhood.
Other major releases have fared better over the weekend. Paramount Pictures' "Regretting You," an adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel, topped the box office with $8.1 million from 3,424 theaters, while Universal's 'Black Phone 2' came in second with $8 million from 3,305 North American venues.
As for Sony Pictures Entertainment/Crunchyroll, their upcoming anime feature "Chainsaw Man: The Movie - Reze Arc" is set to earn $6 million over the weekend and has already contributed to its domestic tally of $30.7 million.
At the lower end of the spectrum, Netflix's 'KPop Demon Hunters' continues its decline with an estimated $5.3 million in ticket sales from 2,043 theaters. Meanwhile, a new sci-fi film from Emma Stone is set to hit theaters in just its first weekend of wide release.

I'm so surprised by how low "Deliver Me From Nowhere" tanked over the second weekend! Like, $3.8 million from 3,460 theaters? That's crazy 
! I was really rooting for Bruce Springsteen biopic, especially since it's set in my fave state of New Jersey 
. The fact that a significant portion of the film was shot there must've made it even more special 
.
! I also love how the film explores an interesting chapter in Springsteen's career. The 'Nebraska' album is like, such a classic 
.
. On the other hand, Sony Pictures Entertainment/Crunchyroll's anime feature "Chainsaw Man: The Movie - Reze Arc" is killing it 
! More power to that!
. Eight million dollars for the opening weekend was already a decent start, but 57% drop? That's crazy! 
I mean, I know the film has a good story behind it, exploring some tough times in Springsteen's life and all, but Disney expected way more from this one 
. I wonder if the movie's marketing campaign didn't quite resonate with audiences like they thought it would 
. On the other hand, Colleen Hoover's novel adaptation is crushing it over there 
! Maybe we should be rooting for Sony's anime flick instead? Chainsaw Man: The Movie - Reze Arc has already raked in over 30 million dollars worldwide 
. But with a 57% drop in ticket sales from the opening weekend, it's gotta be tough for Disney to recoup their $55 million production budget 
. I just wish more people would give the movie a chance... Maybe some word-of-mouth or positive reviews from critics could help it turn things around 
.
. It's always exciting to see new movies come out and try to make an impact on the box office 
.
. Anyway, it's all good, just another weekend in the box office
