The period drama The Uprising, starring Andrew Garfield, hit theatres on September 11 alongside fellow newcomers Practical Magic 2 and Runners. Earning largely mixed reviews from both audiences and critics, the movie failed to make a major splash upon its arrival.
Helmed by director Paul Greengrass, the film was reportedly marketed under the title The Uprising: The Rise of Robin Hood. Its cast also includes Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie, Jonny Lee Miller, Woody Norman, and Katherine Waterston in prominent roles. On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie holds a 51% rating on the Tomatometer following mixed critical feedback.
How Much Did The Uprising Earn At The Box Office On Day 1?
Opening day proved sluggish for the R-rated historical epic, which landed at the #6 spot at the US box office on Friday. Pulling in a modest $1.3 million—which accounts for Thursday night previews—the figure marks a soft debut for an Andrew Garfield vehicle, though it still outperforms his previous release, The Magic Faraway Tree.

At its present trajectory, The Uprising is projected to finish its opening weekend with approximately $3 million. With Focus having secured distribution rights for an outlay of $11 million, it appears unlikely the distributor will recover its investment through theatrical earnings alone for this Hollywood project.
Second Biggest Opening For Andrew Garfield
The Uprising marks Andrew Garfield’s second theatrical release of the year, following August’s The Magic Faraway Tree, which stumbled at the box office with a meager $405K opening. Despite its underwhelming start, The Uprising stands as the actor’s second-largest post-COVID opening among the four theatrical releases in which he has starred as the lead since the pandemic.
Andrew Garfield’s Biggest Opening Day Collections Post-COVID
- We Live In Time – $1.8M

What Is The Film About?
The story centers on a passionate rebel leader, portrayed by Garfield, who gathers a civilian army to challenge the oppressive rule of King Richard II. Drawn from the real historical events of the uprising that helped shape the Robin Hood legend, the narrative tracks his pursuit of justice against the sovereign’s formidable forces. The Uprising arrived in cinemas on September 11.
