\n\tBruce Springsteen is one of music\u2019s biggest names, but his global popularity didn\u2019t exactly translate at the box office. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSpringsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere<\/a>,\u201d a musical biopic about the making of his beloved 1982 acoustic solo album \u201cNebraska,\u201d is falling flat with $7 million at the international box office and $16.1 million globally. Analysts suggest the film is struggling because unlike, say, \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d and \u201cRocketman,\u201d which were all-encompassing, crowd-pleasing looks at the Queen and Elton John, \u201cDeliver Me From Nowhere\u201d focuses on one, less commercial chapter in Springsteen\u2019s expansive, decade-spanning career. <\/p>\n

\n\tDisney\u2019s 20th Century Studios is backing the $55 million-budgeted film, which stars Jeremy Allen White as the Boss and was directed by Scott Cooper. Top markets in its debut include the United Kingdom with $1.6 million, Germany with $1 million and Italy with $800,000. \u201cDeliver Me From Nowhere\u201d has yet to open in 20% of overseas territories such as Brazil, Japan and Korea. <\/p>\n

\n\tOn international charts, \u201cSpringsteen\u201d arrived behind Paramount\u2019s romantic drama \u201cRegretting You<\/a>.\u201d The PG-13 film, adapted from Colleen Hoover\u2019s best-selling novel, launched with $10 million from 43 markets. The film overperformed in North America with $12.8 million, bringing its three-day global tally to $22.85 million. \u201cRegretting You,\u201d starring Allison Williams and Mckenna Grace as a mother and daughter who grapple with the aftermath of a devastating accident, is Hoover\u2019s second page-to-screen adaptation following 2024\u2019s surprise hit \u201cIt Ends With Us.\u201d Two of the author\u2019s other books, \u201cVerity\u201d and \u201cReminders of Him,\u201d are the subject of feature films at Amazon MGM and Universal.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, \u201cChainsaw Man \u2013 The Movie: Reze Arc\u201d continued to dominate at the international box office, adding $14.7 million while expanding to 46 total markets. The R-rated film, a sequel to the popular manga TV series, has been playing in Japan and other Asian countries for weeks and notably just surpassed the $100 million mark. \u201cChainsaw Man\u201d topped the North American box office this weekend with $17.2 million and has so far earned $108 million worldwide. It\u2019s the second consecutive win for Sony\u2019s Crunchyroll following September\u2019s sleeper hit \u201cDemon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle,\u201d which\u00a0stands as the highest grossing anime film of all time with $666.8 million globally.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn another milestone, \u201cBlack Phone 2\u201d is a commercial winner for Blumhouse after a rough theatrical year for the low-budget horror empire. The scary sequel added $10 million overseas in its second weekend of release, bringing ticket sales to $31.3 million internationally and $80.4 million globally. Universal distributed the film, which cost $30 million. \u201cBlack Phone 2\u2033 easily became Blumhouse\u2019s highest-grossing release of the year because its other recent releases \u2014 January\u2019s \u201cWolf Man\u201d ($34 million), March\u2019s \u201cThe Woman in the Yard\u201d ($23 million), April\u2019s \u201cDrop\u201d ($28 million), and June\u2019s \u201cM3GAN 2.0\u201d ($39 million ) \u2014 flatlined in theaters. This December\u2019s sequel, \u201cFive Nights at Freddy\u2019s 2,\u201d should also help to restore the company\u2019s fortunes.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere, Disney\u2019s sci-fi tentpole \u201cTron: Ares\u201d collected $6.3 million from 52 territories in its third weekend in theaters. So far, the big-budget sequel has grossed $60 million overseas and $123.4 million globally, a disappointing tally given its massive $180 million price tag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bruce Springsteen is one of music\u2019s biggest names, but his global popularity didn\u2019t exactly translate at the box…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":334564,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[171,53,163974,82351,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-334563","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-regretting-you","11":"tag-springsteen-deliver-me-from-nowhere","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115442311901758677","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334563\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
