The Uprising Hits Digital After Box Office Struggles

Paul Greengrass’s historical drama The Uprising, starring Andrew Garfield, is now available for digital purchase and rental. The film, which rebrands the 1381 Peasants' Revolt as a Robin Hood origin story, follows a plague-surviving ploughman who leads a rebellion against King Richard II. Despite a marketing pivot that emphasized the Robin Hood connection, the movie underperformed at the box office, opening to just $3.25 million in North America. Physical releases on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD are scheduled for November 3, featuring deleted scenes and production featurettes.
