- Box Office Bomb: As a somber, dramatic holiday counter-programming to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, coupled with mixed critical reception, Concussion only took in $50 million worldwide ($34 million domestic) against a $35 million budget.
- Dawson Casting: Will Smith was in his late 40s when he played Omalu, whose discoveries were made when he was in his mid-30s.
- Mike Webster died at 50. David Morse was a full decade older when he played him. Justified, as the age difference helps to convey the damage Webster sustained.
- Deleted Scenes: Several scenes depicting unflattering moments for the NFL were removed.
- Fake Nationality:
- American Will Smith as the Nigerian-born Omalu.
- English (of Nigerian descent) Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as American Dave Duerson.
