Audiences Are Walking Out on 2025's Failed Oscar Contender

After a handful of music biopics emerged as box office hits, it seemed like the genre was among the few that could survive the recent shift in audience viewing patterns. Romantic comedies certainly couldn't, nor could some horror subgenres. Encouraged by the success of movies such as Bob Marley: One Love, Elvis, and even Rocketman, studios began green-lighting a slew of music biopics. Not all of them survived at the box office. While the Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, was both a critical and commercial hit, the Amy Winehouse movie Back to Black underperformed because of its poor quality. The Robbie Williams biopic Better Man emerged as an even bigger disappointment because of its subject's perceived unpopularity in the United States. However, there was another music biopic whose underwhelming performance at the box office is more difficult to explain.
