Transcript by OP

[fscom]

Deliver Me From Nowhere was a mistake from start to finish. If they were going to focus on one era or album, it should have been Born to Run.

Casting Jeremy Allen White was also a huge mistake; 2025 audiences don’t support child abusers.

I’m officially over this kind of half-bait “iykyk” thing of contextless allegations.

[(Anonymous)]

For real. I had no clue whet allegations these were, and googling just pulled up substance abuse issues and some stuff on a similarly named guy. I couldn't find any substantive allegations on this guy being a child abuser.

[(Anonymous)]

This was major news like two years ago. He isn’t allowed to be alone with his children and he has to take a breathalyzer before his supervised visits with them. The courts don’t order that without a documented history of abuse or neglect. And we know he wasn’t neglecting them.

[tabaqui]

I found this, but haven't found any mention of abuse. If they're going to put *this* out there, they certainly wouldn't baulk at some kind of language hinting at abuse, but there is none.

I’m sorry, I thought this was general knowledge. It got a lot of publicity at the time plus again when he got the Golden Globe and again when he got the second Emmy (the first Emmy was before any of this came out iirc). And there was a smaller uproar when he was cast for this. Clearly I overestimated but didn’t mean it as an iykyk thing. Springsteen fans have been staying away from this and the movie is a total box office bomb. They didn’t even make back (the comparatively low) production costs, let alone advertising costs.

If it's not common knowledge, then how would it affect box office?

It didn't do that well because people are tired of musician biopics. Freddie Mercury, Elvis, Bob Dylan, Springsteen.

It was a novelty when they made The Doors movie and Walk the Line, but the public only really wants one or two of these a DECADE.

You have omitted a lot of movies past and present. Ray won a bunch of awards including a couples Oscar’s, Golden Globes, and BAFTAs so it’s really weird you didn’t know about that one. The Elton John and Springsteen ones are the only flops. Elton John didn’t have wide appeal. Springsteen flopped at least in part because Nebraska was the worst possible album to build a movie around. I thought the child abuse factored in because amongst Springsteen fans that is absolutely a factor. But weirdly no one in FS ever knew about it even though it’s been brought up in several recent articles about the decline in viewership for The Bear.
