Why did this get made?

Studios usually greenlight scripts similar to movies they know other studios are making to steal their thunder or ride their coattails

Why does the Boss make zoomers seethe so much?

Basically riding on the coattails of "Yesterday".

But Bruce Springsteen is NOT the Beatles. He's nowhere close. Not to mention each successive music film this year since the breakout Queen biopic hit has been severely diminishing returns (Bohemian Rhapsody: $900 million, Rocketman: $200 million, Yesterday: $100 million).

No way in hell this grosses more than $65 million internationally. Probably $60 million of that will be domestic because nobody gives a fuck about Bruce Springsteen outside America.

Even that's a pretty generous estimate. Promo for this movie has been pretty limited and hype fairly muted. Springsteen really isn't that big of an artist in typical dadrock canon among the casual boomer, you rarely hear him on classic rock stations. Among 70s/80s rock enthusiasts, yes, but to the average person, he's just that dude who wore the bandanas in the mid 80s and had a few big hits.

The man certainly has a large fanbase even today that will fill arenas all over the country, but I don't really see that translating into the theaters too well. And the general audiences of non-Springsteen fans won't care for another generic story like this...

cause he sucks and so do pakis

ELO film when?

You spelled irrelevant wrong, idiot. And if you think that the Beatles are just as relevant today (when guitar music has left the mainstream) vs. the 90s and 2000s, when rock was still quite big and many bands wore Beatles influences on their sleeves (not to mention, the "1" compilation was the best-selling album of the 2000s), you're deluded. Boomers are dying off and zoomers love mumble rap.

That band is shit.

Esh

Someone saw Bohemian Rhapsody and realized you can probably get boomers to go see a movie if it has songs from a band they recognize, but also realized there's no real story to make into a Bruce Springsteen biopic, and came up with this. Like Yesterday, I think the idea was that it's enjoyable for boomers to see young people enjoying "their" music because it makes them feel like they've still got it

The Beatles are bigger than any other artist even today. Drake is nothing compared to them.

there's something you don't understand because you're still too young: at some point kids turn 13 and they try weed and then they need music to listen to. So they'll ditch Tyler the Creator because it's way too gloomy when you're tripping and instead they'll try the usual shit like the doors, the beatles, tool and led zeppelin and whatever

This is just like when the Elton John movie came out and all the moronic zoomers were bitching because they didn't know any of his music besides Tiny Dancer, Bennie and the Jets, Rocketman, and the fucking Lion King soundtrack.

Your a moron. The Beatles rule.

Look around. What shirts are people wearing? Rap? No. The Beatles.
What is played on the radio? Rap? No. The Beatles.
What is #1 on iTunes? The Beatles.
What are all the kids talking about? The Beatles.

Your wrong.

I'm 35.

Suprisingly enough, Bruce Springsteen has actually never had a number one hit despite how popular he is and was.

Same with Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana

kids who wear t-shirts of old rock bands often are not even aware they are rock bands

What fantasy land are you living in?

Ok? I still have only heard three of his songs. All from the same album. Just because it was popular in the past doesn't mean it won't be forgotten today.

I think darkness on the edge of town is a better record and born to run is unimpeachable, but I respect your opinion

They're fucking dead. The oldies station used to run all Beatles every Wednesday and doesn't anymore because enough is enough. People are sick of their shit and with the internet have access to actual GOOD musicians and aren't force by (((them))) to hear that crap. Of course there are still retro fags and boomers who think they are gods gift, but the beatles only sell to them. No one else gives a shit. The rest of the world has finally been freed of their stranglehold on music.

>Look around. What shirts are people wearing? Rap? No. The Beatles.
cause they're in the $5 bin at walmart. Yeah, real relevant.

>They should prove him right, that'll show him!

This.

Also, I remember when the Beatles anthology came out and was a HUGE deal. Even the Top 40 station that played like rap and Hootie and Blowfish shit was playing the previously unreleased single from that album. There was a whole 5 night special on ABC that like 20 million people watched. The anthology was like the big Christmas gift of '95. And then you had Oasis too, who were very hyped up and supposed to be the "Beatles of the 90s" and their music/videos were super Beatles-esque.

I don't think Zoomers understand just how big the Beatles remained throughout the 80s and 90s, 30 years after their breakup. It's nothing like that today. By and large, the world of pop culture has moved on.

Not even pajeets?

ESPECIALLY Pajeets

I'm going to see it just for Bruce, but that's it.

At least the soundtrack is pretty decent, good selection of hits and album cuts, plus unreleased tracks including a studio cut from the year 2000 and the first ever live performance of "The River" in 1979.

Bruce Springsteen was a nerd in highschool. he's fooled us all

He was also in a hard rock band that opened for Black Sabbath, Grand Funk Railroad, and Chicago, in the late 60s/early 70s before becoming "Bruce Springsteen".

Why do americans complain about immigrants not assimilating, then when they do, they call it a jewish trick? It's a good thing that brown people worship our culture.

>You will never be chosen to dance on stage with the Boss

But do you like the boss?

I'll take things that never happened for 1000.

Any film that had anything to do with music and musical artists got green lit after the latest version of A Star is Born and of course, the Reddit tier circlejerk that was Bohemian Rhapsody. Nobody asked for the Elton John movie either, and I actually like his music, him being a fudgepacker regardless. But I still didnt go see it.

Expect maybe 1 or 2 more of these types of movies before the wave is totally over. But that's the only reason it got made. That, and they can insert a non-white in there to push their Jew agenda.

Also, I fucking hate that song by Manfred Mann. I hate it utterly. I have no idea why they named this movie something that could be confused with it.

>I have no idea why they named this movie something that could be confused with it.
It was Bruce's song first.

Fuck, you're right.

I understand but why even have a chance of people thinking it's something else? Springsteen was big, but he wasn't ever Beatles, Zeppelin, Guns n Roses, or even Queen big in terms of lasting appeal.

Yeah, but when the cover is more famous than the original, it sort of loses its association.

Nobody thinks of Bob Dylan when they read "all along the watchtower", everyone immediately thinks of Hendrix.

Based blunt fact poster

>What is played on the radio? Rap?
Rap.

True

Yeah I agree. He had a good 20-ish year run in the mainstream ("Born to Run" in '75 to "Streets of Philadelphia"/"Secret Garden" in '94 and '97) but with several periods of irrelevance in between. He was always a hit with rock fans, but less so with the general populace. The only period in which he was truly a GIANT artist was basically around Born in the USA (1984 - 1986/1987). 7 singles from the album all went top 10 on the Billboard charts, videos had heavy rotation on MTV, album sold ten million copies in America in the first year alone. played 50 - 80,000 capacity stadiums in tons of cities, received tabloid coverage/was a celebrity heartthrob, even stuff off of his live album became hit singles.

After that his popularity dropped off a cliff, but the hardcore fans remained.

that failed coffee hipster so angry he paying huge thousands on a student loan anm he wage cuck til dead ..will Never have a real family life or relationship it shit tier job thats what fake film degree gets .. YOU

no checked your quads. what a shithole this place has become

Beatles fanboys are embarrassing

this. their popularity and timelessness literally will never be matched

What do you think of Western Stars, friends?

We already have Guardians of the Galaxy. It's essentially the same thing.

Tax. Write. Off.

explain

Lie about the budget(list it at 115 million when it was really 60 for example), say you take a massive loss when this shitheap tanks harder than a Florida sports team so you don’t need to pay nearly as much in taxes

Budget was $15 million though

Ok? And do you really think this is going to gross more than $10 million?

An ELO movie would be kino, but it would have to be like a rock opera musical and be set in like a 70's neon glowing futuristic world, and most of the scenery should look like the Time album. However knowing how shit Hollywood writers are nowadays, this kino idea will never happen.

It won't be. Normies don't care about Springsteen.

You guys remember 7 years ago when "defeners" very brutally hated on late 00s-early 10s pop music and said it was pure torture?

Well now zoomers are posting nostalgia for that era and saying it was the "golden age" of pop. Whose side do you agree with more?

Nice pasta, retard. Bruce Springsteen was the most American musician.

It's all a cycle man. It's been going on since civilization began. The only difference is that the wheel keeps accelerating.

Pop music is almost always shit, only a small handful of songs have lasting appeal and the rest subsist through nostalgia
Go through the Billboard charts for the 60s/70s/80s and you'll lose count of how many literally who bands and singles you come across

When are we going to get a scorpions or metallica or Poison pic?

Yeah but poo in the loos arent people

this. Also Billboard charts became irrelevant once MTV hit anyway.

My wish that’ll never happen is a Pat Travers film. Starts when he sees Hendrix in concert as a kid and ends at the Reading Festival 1980, the last show with the classic lineup of the band

They literally made this movie in 6 months after the first "Yesterday" trailer came out.

Stupid zoomer. Go watch some Miley Cyrus movies or something instead.

Some of it wasn't bad. People used to say the same shit about the early 2000's, I remember people shitting heavily on the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears growing up.

That happens all the time, they make similar movies to milk another's success. Like Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody and even that shitty Netflix Motley Crew movie that all were made in the same year..

No band will ever be as relevant as bands pre 2000, because the music business is too fractured now. Even major bands are only popular within their genre, Beatles and similar level artists were culturally innocuous.

Basically. And rock music has become irrelevant. Rappers aren't listening to fucking Sgt. Peppers. In 2005, there was still tons of rock music in the mainstream (even if it was shit), in 2010, that was hardly the case, it was mostly rap, pop, and EDM.

And yet American movies make the big bucks when they are exported. Tell me the last internationally successful Bollywood movie and ill show you an anomaly.

NC-17 rated ABBA biopic with a hardcore group sex scene when?

Shut up zoomer. I remember taping the ABC specials on VHS. The whole family gathered around to watch it, which was notable because we were a 90s family that hated each other.

That sounds very kino

They would have to insert some BBC in there nowadays.

I didnt know Bruce was a poo
