Paul Greengrass’s historical epic The Uprising, starring Andrew Garfield, opened to a disappointing $3.25 million from 2,068 North American theaters during its debut weekend of September 11, 2026. The film, which carries a $20 million production budget, earned a B- CinemaScore from opening-night audiences, suggesting limited word-of-mouth support ahead of its theatrical run.<\/p>\n

The film is a historical action drama based on the 1381 English Peasants’ Revolt, in which a farmer known as Ploughman leads a rebellion against the royal oppression of King Richard II. Greengrass wrote and directed the project, which also stars Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie, Jonny Lee Miller, Woody Norman, Katherine Waterston, and Sky Yang.<\/p>\n

Focus Features acquired North American rights for $11 million and spent millions more to promote and distribute the film. The studio attempted a last-minute marketing pivot in August 2026, briefly rebranding the film as The Uprising: The Rise of Robin Hood before clarifying that the Robin Hood reference was a tagline rather than a new title. The gambit generated headlines but failed to translate into ticket sales.<\/p>\n

Critical reception has been divided. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 54% critics’ score and a 65% audience score. Metacritic reports a 57\/100 rating from critics, while IMDb shows a 6.5\/10 user rating. Letterboxd users have given the film a 3.0 out of 5 average.<\/p>\n

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film ‘proves intense from first minute to last, the director utilizing his familiar handheld camera and frenetic editing style to an at times exhausting degree.’ He added that the stylistic approach ‘eventually proves so relentless and lacking in modulation that the film becomes a grueling and sometimes tedious experience.’<\/p>\n

The New York Times praised the film’s ‘rough-and-tumble energy and a bracing moral complexity,’ noting that Greengrass’s script ‘prioritizes action over dialogue.’ The Playlist wrote that the director ‘has put on a fine piece of historical drama’ until the film’s third act, when the introduction of Robin Hood imagery ‘begins to cheapen the history.’<\/p>\n
