She was in the film against some very seasoned actors and was still cited as the biggest reason to watch by the audiences polled: https://deadline.com/2021/11/encanto-house-of-gucci-resident-evil-thanksgiving-box-office-1234880192/ Forbes also emphasized this last year with the announcement of her latest role: https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2022/06/14/lady-gaga-as-harley-quinn-brings-real-star-power-to-a-joker-sequel/?sh=1def6d734413 We'll have to wait and see how Joker 2 and her subsequent roles fare and how they affect her bankability as a lead actress but, at least for now, she's proven that she can carry a film by herself, or she wouldn't be able to command a $10M paycheck and be the second highest paid actress of the year in just her third lead role The receipts abundance Like why do they even bother at this point? @vale9001
perfillusion Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Because Gaga is a STAR. You can't payola/autoplay movie tickets. From Deadline: MGM/UAR’s House of Gucci, the second wide entry of the holiday, made $5.7M yesterday, +69% from Thanksgiving, which now puts its 3-day at $14.9M and 5-day at $22.5M. The film has great exits at four stars on Screen Engine/Comscore’sPostTrak, an 82% positive score, and 60% definite recommend, providing plenty of runway into the year-end holiday. Females turned out at 60%, giving the film an 84% positive, with men at 40% with 80% positive. Close to 40% of the audience said they came out for Lady Gaga, while 32% cited the ensemble cast of Adam Driver, Al Pacino, and Jared Leto, while 34% were intrigued by the Gucci family murder plot. House of Gucci played best in the larger city markets, especially in the West. Dont let angry stans of Razzie winners fool you, HoG was a HIT that proved even more than ASIB that Gaga is an A-list movie star and box office draw.

I definitely agree that she's had great success in film and is a certified movie star, but I'm still curious to see how a movie where she has top billing without the help of another major movie stars and/or major director would perform What major movie star? Adam Driver BOMBED right before HoG with his other Ridley Scott movie, and BOMBED again right after HoG with his expensive dinosaur movie. Bradley Cooper making his debut was a major director? Or are you saying Ridley Scott is a box office draw, bc again explain his BOMB with Adam Driver right before HoG?

'Don't Look Up' is rotten and 49 on Metacritic and still is an Oscar nominated movie. Jessica Chastain won an Oscar for a 55 Metacritic movie. For somebody who claims to be a movie expert you clearly don't know a lot of things. Proving RT and MC mean nothing lol
harwee Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 If she also does stage it will be an absolute smasha

Glam Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Easy. Because she is the Artist of our Generation and the GP couldn't keep pretending otherwise. When she focused on music and didn't mind being generic and selling her soul, she was bigger than any other pop star at the time. When she focused on acting she was talked about in the same sentence as the best actresses of our generation. Honestly I feel bad for anyone who stans other artists cause some of them are very respectable but will always live under Gaga's shadow

Miracle Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) 21 hours ago, vale9001 said: Yeah Martin Scorsese, Chazelle, Spielberg, Fincher, Cuaron, Joon - ho, Inarritu, Tarantino they all are fighting to have Lady Gaga in one of their films it's not like she has made a movie with bradley cooper, the director of the hangover saga, ridley scott (who is making average movies since the 90s expect maybe the martian) and Robert Rodriguez. She is there with Lupita, Emma stone, Janelle, Margot robbie, Saoirse Ronan and Anya Taylor Joy to name a few. Live your dream little monsters If you are talking about their commercial appeal for bringing people to theaters, she's bigger than all of the actresses you mentioned Acting wise she's definitely better than Margot and Anya Taylor Anyway can't wait for Joker Folie a Deux to bring at least 700M in the box office and give Gaga her fifth Oscar nomination and her fourth BAFTA nom Edited March 22, 2023 by Miracle
