Starring Andrew Garfield, The Uprising is struggling at the box office following a soft debut in North America and no international rollout thus far. Fortunately, the movie benefits from a relatively modest production budget, keeping its break-even target within reason. Even so, its weak ticket sales threaten to leave it short of that modest goal. Read on for the details.
Critical reception has ranged from poor and mixed to negative. Meanwhile, audiences appreciated the movie’s robust historical foundation for providing an immersive cinematic experience, though many felt the conclusion did not meet expectations overall, it was viewed as a rewarding watch. The ensemble cast features Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie, Jonny Lee Miller, Woody Norman, and Katherine Waterston.
How much has the film collected at the box office?
Box Office Mojo reports that The Uprising launched domestically with just $3.3 million across 2,068 theaters in North America. During its discounted Tuesday, the R-rated feature brought in $475k domestically. That marked a 60.5% surge from Monday, pushing its cumulative gross to $4.08 million. Because it has yet to debut in overseas markets, its earnings have failed to accelerate.

How much does it need to break even at the box office?
Media reports indicate that The Uprising was produced on a low budget, offering some relief to its backers. The R-rated period drama carried a reported price tag of $20 million. Applying the industry standard 2.5x multiplier rule, the Andrew Garfield vehicle needs to gross roughly $50 million globally to reach break-even status.
While that target is not excessively high, reaching it will still require a boost from international territories, particularly given the current lack of box office momentum. Additionally, the film debuted at number eight in North America.
