Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere<\/em> has received mixed reviews from critics, and has gotten off to a slower-than-expected<\/a> start at the boxoffice, but as of Sunday (Nov. 9) it has grossed $34.6 million worldwide, according to\u00a0boxofficemojo.com<\/a>. That puts it at No. 24 on Billboard<\/em>\u2018s list of music biopics with the highest worldwide grosses.<\/p>\n

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere<\/em> isn\u2019t a traditional cradle-to-grave biopic \u2013 for one thing, its protagonist is, thankfully, still very much with us. It\u2019s part of a subgenre of biopics which focuses on one fateful period in an artist\u2019s life. Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere<\/em> is set in the period following Springsteen\u2019s 1980 commercial breakthrough, The River<\/em> (which spawned his first true pop smash, \u201cHungry Heart\u201d) where the artist felt compelled to make a low-key, acoustic album, Nebraska<\/em>. All concerned understood that this project wouldn\u2019t have the same commercial potential as The River<\/em>, which had spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. (And it didn\u2019t, peaking at No. 3.) But Springsteen has always been an artist, more than just a hitmaker, and this was the album he wanted and needed to make at that time.<\/p>\n

Here are the highest-grossing biopics of musicians in terms of worldwide box office. We didn\u2019t include a few high-grossing films about real-life music personalities because the subjects are not well-known music stars in their own right. These include\u00a0The Sound of Music<\/em>\u00a0(which tells the story of Maria von Trapp and the Trapp Family Singers);\u00a0Green Book<\/em>\u00a0(which deals with a road trip taken by pianist and composer Don Shirley)<\/em>; Florence Foster Jenkins<\/em>\u00a0(about an heiress and hopelessly untalented soprano by that name); and\u00a0Music of the Heart<\/em>\u00a0(about violinist and music educator Roberta Guaspari). Meryl Streep starred in the latter two films.<\/p>\n
