Popularity

Creed in hope.

Jake Gyllenhaal plays Billy Hope, nicknamed "Billy the Great," a boxer who has reached the top. A world light heavyweight champion, he has racked up dozens of undefeated fights and lives in New York with his wife, Maureen, and their daughter, Leila. His career and home seem solid. However, during a bout at Madison Square Garden against Darius Jones, he takes several brutal punches to the face mid-fight. One of his eyes bleeds uncontrollably, and Maureen, watching from the crowd, is frightened at the sight. Even so, Hope scores a knockout and retains the title. Antoine Fuqua directs the film.

Trivia about Southpaw

To prepare for the role, Gyllenhaal read about boxing, boxers who grew up in orphanages, and the history of foster care in the United States, in addition to spending five months training as a boxer.

James Horner agreed to compose the film's soundtrack without charging a fee, despite the project's limited budget. His music was among the last he ever wrote.

The story was set to take place in Detroit, but Pittsburgh was chosen as the filming location, where it stood in for New York.

The unreleased song "Wiseman," by Frank Ocean, appears in the film's final act. It was originally written for Django Unchained, but Quentin Tarantino didn't include it in that movie.

The film grossed approximately 91.97 million dollars worldwide against an estimated budget of 30 million, according to the figures reported for its commercial release.

Antoine Fuqua planned to shoot the four fights during the first two weeks of production, with rounds lasting two to four minutes and some takes running as long as three minutes without cuts to mimic a live television broadcast.

"Southpaw" returned to U.S. theaters on October 2, 2015, after its initial theatrical release, and officially hit the streaming market on August 10, 2016.

During its tenth anniversary, the film ranked among the most-watched titles on Starz and held the number ten spot in its chart at the time of measurement.
