After a disappointing first couple of weeks, the remaining box office slate for October 2025 certainly shows promise. This weekend, Ethan Hawke returns in Black Phone 2 in time for Halloween, as well as director Luca Guadagnino‘s After the Hunt, which expands to a wider release. One week later, this month’s romantic film of choice arrives with the next of the trendy Colleen Hoover adaptations, Regretting You, as well as the long-awaited arrival of Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, which sees The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White play music icon Bruce Springsteen in eye-popping IMAX.
Ahead of the Springsteen biopic’s release, the first reviews are starting to trickle in, and the reception has been largely positive, if not slightly underwhelming. At the time of writing, the film has earned a respectable 74% from 31 critics on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart) and also starring the likes of Stephen Graham, Gaby Hoffmann, Jeremy Strong, and Paul Walter Hauser, many were unsurprisingly making comparisons to last year’s big musical biopic with an impressive cast: A Complete Unknown. Sadly for Springsteen and co, Deliver Me From Nowhere looks destined to fall short of Bob Dylan’s Rotten Tomatoes rating (82%), at least from critics. A synopsis for Deliver Me From Nowhere reads:
“From 20th Century Studios, “Deliver Me from Nowhere” chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 “Nebraska” album. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works–a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe.”
Marc Maron Previously Teased Jeremy Allen White’s Singing in ‘Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere’
Comedian and actor Marc Maron, who plays a small but crucial role in Deliver Me From Nowhere, spoke with Collider’s Steve Weintraub back in March and spoke candidly about what to expect from White’s performance. Thankfully, Maron was full of praise for White, in particular his singing ability, saying, “Jeremy Allen White is doing his own singing, and there were times when Bruce didn’t know whether what he was listening to was him or Jeremy. It’s a good story, man.” He also said of White and another star’s performances, “It was kind of fun to see Jeremy work, both Jeremys, and [Paul] Walter Hauser was there, too. He’s kind of a funny guy.”
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is released on October 24.
