The Uprising North America Box Office: Andrew Garfield’s Film Opens Low, Yet Delivers His 2nd Biggest Post-COVID Debut
Andrew Garfield’s period drama, The Uprising, was released in theatres on September 11. It was released alongside newcomers Practical Magic 2 and Runners. However, the period drama received largely mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike. As a result, the film did not make a strong impression on its debut.
Directed by Paul Greengrass, the Andrew Garfield starrer was reportedly marketed as The Uprising: The Rise of Robin Hood. It also features Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie, Jonny Lee Miller, Woody Norman, and Katherine Waterston in key roles. Moreover, it received mixed ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics giving it just 51% on the Tomatometer.
How Much Did The Uprising Earn At The Box Office On Day 1?
The R-rated historical epic had a weak opening on Friday. The film ranked at #6 at the US box office on Day 1. It collected just $1.3 million, including Thursday night previews. This is a weak opening for a film featuring Andrew Garfield. However, it is still better than his earlier release, The Magic Faraway Tree.

The Uprising is likely to wrap its opening weekend at just $3 million at the current pace. Focus had acquired the distribution rights to the film for $11 million. It is unlikely that the distributor will recoup its investment theatrically with this Hollywood release.

The Uprising is the second theatrical release of Andrew Garfield this year. The Magic Faraway Tree was released in August this year, featuring the star. However, the film crashed at the box office. It had a small opening of $405K. Despite a disappointing start at the box office, The Uprising has become the actor’s second-biggest opening post-COVID.
