Will Gaga escape the DC curse?

The Joker 2 is not connected to the DCEU proper, so I think she has a chance, but do you see Joker 2 being a huge success like the first?

Posted

It will probably be less acclaimed than the first one but will still draw good box office numbers.

Posted

Is there even a curse outside DCEU? Chris Nolan Batman trilogy was huge success, so Robert Pattinson's batman and prequel of Joker.

 

Seemed to me DCEU curse rather than DC curse

The fact it’s a musical might scare some people off so I think it’ll gross less than the first but will still pull good numbers nonetheless. The first one grossed a billion after all. It not being connected to the mess that is the DCEU also helps.

What's the DC curse, may I ask?

I don't know what you mean but I know she'll be fine even if this movie flops. It's a nice bonus for her if it does well and she's already established herself as an all-around entertainer.

I don’t think DC is cursed but this will likely flop

the delusion. gaga's proven track record with bringing in views. joaquin being a beloved actor with his own fanbase. the original grossing over a billion. there's no way this grosses less than $400m :ahh:

2019 fad I fear but Gaga’s press run antics could save it :coffee2:

This isn't part of the DCEU so the curse does not exist :cm: but anyway Gaga has proven to bring in box office numbers 

Posted

Joker & The Batman aren’t connected to the DCEU. So it should be fine. First film was a hit and a pop culture relevant movie. Don’t know if they can replicate that. But I’m sure the film itself will be well written and acted

What curse?

Posted

I can't take anyone seriously who thinks this will flop. Yes it won't outgross the first one. But this won't flop in the slightest. Bookmark. $700M+ minimum.

You opened this thread couple of hours before the Harley tease. Do you know something, Roman? :jonny:

Posted

it's too early to say. we have to wait until the trailer is released to get a initial first impression.

Posted

I feel like people will underestimate it like the second Avatar then blow everyone out of the water with its success.

 

I loved Joker so really looking forward to this one.

Posted

Well.. I think it'll do like 300-400mil and it's not bad for a low budget film like this. 

 

Critically maybe 60-70 like the first one. 

 

Im excited tbh i just hope it wont be too musical (or at all would be best)

I agree.

 

Black Panther, Joker, Captain Marvel and Aquaman were massive MASSIVE, their respective sequels will be sucessful but won't replicate the success of the first movies. It's not realistic.gif

The film will be a boxoffice smash and will receive rave reviews.

the first one was already a dead on arrival panned mess for being accused of being a MAGA fest  :ahh:

It's the DCEU movies that are "cursed" though, not the DC Elseworlds films like Joker and The Batman.

Literally nobody regards the first Joker as a 'MAGA fest'. If anything the first film is about the consequences of withdrawing free health care from vulnerable people, what's MAGA about that? :dies:

Not Liddos already trying to build this false narrative that Gaga is somehow going to ‘save’ the DCEU when this movie inevitably becomes a hit because of Joaquin and the success of the first movie :dies:
