The last few years have been especially fortuitous for music biopics, but recent months have seen a couple of major bombs. In May, Focus Features debuted the Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black in American theaters; the movie concluded its global run with just over $50 million, against a reported budget of $30 million. But a far more expensive music biopic is currently performing at a much lower level. Better Man, based on the life and career of pop-star Robbie Williams, only recently passed its first global box office milestone, and has now accomplished a rather unfortunate achievement; the film has recovered a tenth of its reported budget.
