The Uprising’s sub-$4.5 million opening weekend consensus stems primarily from dismal early tracking and a weak $1.39 million Friday gross across roughly 2,068 screens, yielding a low per-theater average that confirmed limited audience interest. Paul Greengrass’s R-rated historical drama about the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt, starring Andrew Garfield, faced stiff September competition from titles like Practical Magic 2 and Runner, mixed reviews (52% on Rotten Tomatoes) criticizing its bleak tone and shaky-cam style, and a failed marketing pivot attempting to brand it as a Robin Hood origin story. Recent underperformance by Garfield’s prior wide release further tempered expectations. An upset above $4.5 million would require exceptional word-of-mouth or a surprise hold that contradicts the B- CinemaScore and steep daily drops seen so far.
