Jeff Buckley doc slips into theaters with $400K and a side of remastered angst
Amy Berg’s It’s Never Over: Jeff Buckley climbs to a respectable $400,000 opening from 120 theaters, sliding quietly into indie film territory with sold-out screenings lending it momentum. Magnolia Pictures boosts appeal by appending 26 minutes of remastered footage from a 1994 solo set in Cambridge, MA, a private moment now recontextualized in Dolby-enhanced nostalgia.
Shot before the release of Buckley’s lone album Grace, the footage captures a pre-fame intensity that veers between the confessional and the incandescent. Buckley’s posthumous myth—shaped by an unfinished album and the mythopoetic irony of drowning at 30—continues its slow burn across timelines curated by interviews, unreleased clips, and Cohen covers.
Jeff Buckley lands first Hot 100 hit—29 years too late, thanks to TikTok tears
Nearly three decades post-mortem, Jeff Buckley enters the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time with “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over,” debuting at No. 97—driven almost solely by 3.8 million U.S. streams. A deep cut from his 1994 album Grace, the track gains traction on TikTok, where it is repurposed for emotionally-soaked video snippets.
The resurrection follows its earlier Hot Rock debut in April 2025 and renewed buzz fueled by the HBO documentary It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley. Grace also climbs from 200 to 156 on the Billboard 200 amid this streaming surge.
