Its crazy how whenever Bey achieved sth, people almost immediately have to go on a search hunt to devalue her... makes me sick to my stomach

They literally want to steal her joy. I’ve seen it happen era after era. 
 

I’ve learned it’s not about Bey or anything she’s doing. It’s about the people trying to spread their misery. Unfortunately for them, they’ll never be able to contain her light. She shines with the glow of a thousand suns.

So does the Sunday numbers not get included in opening weekend?  I'm confused lol

They are, they just release estimates throughout the weekend which don’t usually deviate much from actuals

Less sales for Bey, hate to see it

 

Internationally the film didn't do so well. People are probably not interested in the documentary side. If she releases this on streaming, she should offer two versions. One without the edits, just the full concert from beginning to end. I bet it would made huge numbers. In this case, Taylor was right to go full concert. The documentary is nice for her longtime fans but some people probably just want to see the performances.

she shouldn't sacrifice her art for the numbers 

Im waiting for the days well have to endure threads such as "Taylor a better vocalist than Bey?" with polls saying yes..

Agreed. However that is part of the problem with her not speaking or “promoting” for the last two years. She feels compelled to put it all in one. Imagine getting behind the scene information about her knee surgery, ballroom culture , and uncle Johnny prior or along with the album release? Similar to self titled YouTube clips. 
 

Either way I still enjoyed it immensely and will watch again. I was initially annoyed before I saw the film because it was similar to homecoming but it was done so well. However, heated being interrupted OMG. Lol I went with two casual fans and they wanted less bts.

“Documentary is nice for her longtime fans” as if anyone else was watching. 

my profile has been yassified by this beautiful new icon

Ugh, this BMS/ Israel mess is trickling into my feed now.

 

“@Beyoncé@Parkwood you need to explain this now”

 

”So is the liberation you preach just a cosplay or cash grab for you @Beyoncé?” 
 

“Beyonce okay with her music being the Israeli genocide chant, can’t say I’m surprised”

What is this foolish propaganda? All stemming from a concert film? Like….🙄🙄🙄

second viewing was great, I just had to hear it all in dolby one last time. 

I love watching a visual

ngl, I been thinking this.

#4 omg UK what’s good

 

This is all King Charles’ fault. It’s bad vibes there with HIM. Top 2 on lock if Queenie Liz were on the throne still.

I dont think we can be surprised because people are into holidays, Christmas coming. They are probably not thinking of going to to see a concert film at the cinema on their list of things to do. These numbers are good for that period of the year. A decent $40M-50M is probably going to be the final gross of this movie. 

Just bought tickets to go see this again tonight 

We can all moan, groan, and complain about how she handles certain things during eras but this is us next era:

They should keep instigators from using the internet

Lets officially close the door on act i Bey please.

 

Time for act ii and lets leave uplifting poc and marginalized groups behind.  Bc the GP loves coming for ppl that do something but not everything (Bey) while supporting people that do nothing (all the other pop girls and guys).  Theres no reason one movie in Israel that barely made a monetary dent is being focused on more than the blockbusters.

 

Put the dream on ice and give us something fresh.

I think she should do a complete era without any political stuff and leave that behind for a while. People have come to expect the most from her because of the past eras being extremely vocal about stuff, it was inevitable. Another era where she only delivers hit songs and fun without any strong statements would be refreshing for me.  Another IASF where we get multiple hit songs with proper promotion would be great. 

 

I'm scared that we wont see Bey anytime soon after this movie though. Maybe near the Superbowl because she is close to Usher and could attend to support him but i dont know about even Act II anymore.

I agree.  Just leave it behind.  Your audience is shrinking and the effort isnt being appreciated.  Hate watching her cripple her reach for peanuts.

 

If it must continue, give us The Gift type music. The cursing and vulgarities in Renee were blah. Formation was almost there without the Red Lobster bit.  Disneys rating really saved us.  I want classy Bey back, either way.
