rihannafan Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 It's definitely a commercial success. A critical flop though

They are different because their age rating is different, one is PG-13 one is Rated-R, not because of music/biopic/sport etc.

As if this is a small detail when in fact it makes them totally different kind of movies in first for their subject and then for the different age restriction with consequent different box office goals and theaters distribution.

So? The term ''adult drama'' is used by industry to describe dramas with Rated-R rating, saying unrelated things doesn't change that.
rihannafan Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 HOG was also released on a Holiday weekend, unlike most adult dramas

rihannafan Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 Just now, Leptine said: It was also released during peak Covid during the Omicron variant resurgence. Actually it was before Omicron. I was also traveling at the time so it wasn't that bad. Not to mention that historically black friday is the strongest friday of the year. For example, downton abbey: a new era had a 3 day weekend of 16M. HOG had a 3 day weekend id 14.5M. Same goes for ticket to Paradise. Don't worry darling is rated R and opened with 19M from 3 days. It just seems like the Gaga stans keep moving the goalpost that the OP is effectively bragging about HOG grossing more than a handful of films.

It's users like you that are actually rewriting and moving goalposts in order to discredit the success of this movie. The Deadline article + others are still there as I proved.

How am I discrediting the success? I said it's commercially successful in my first post in the thread. But the record in the OP has little to no meaning.
Infernal Paradise Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Not sure why exactly people here are busy downplaying HoG's success or saying it's a highly specific achievement (it isn't) when its domestic and global success was noted by box office analysts and major publications everywhere including Deadline, Variety and Forbes Quote Other big deals this weekend: UAR/MGM’s The House of Gucci crosses $50M, still the highest-grossing older-skewing drama out there in the pandemic. https://deadline.com/2022/01/weekend-box-office-spider-man-no-way-home-the-355-1234906089/amp/ Quote Elsewhere, Lady Gaga continues to prop up the movie theater business. Her latest film “House of Gucci” added $6.77 million from 3,477 locations in the U.S. and Canada. After debuting to $21 million over the extended Thanksgiving holiday weekend, “House of Gucci” has boosted its domestic tally to $33.6 million, which isn’t a bad result at a time when most adult dramas during the pandemic have struggled to reach $10 million in total. https://variety.com/2021/film/box-office/box-office-disney-encanto-house-of-gucci-1235124375/ Quote MGM’s House of Gucci earned another $5.738 million on Friday, a 69% jump from its $3.4 million Thursday which was a mere 19% drop from its $4.21 million Wednesday gross. That brings the three-day cume to $13.34 million for Ridley Scott’s $75 million, R-rated, 2.5-hour crime/fashion melodrama, which is (especially on a Covid curve) a huge win for a non-tentpole, star-and-concept-driven adult-skewing non-franchise flick. https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2022/06/14/lady-gaga-as-harley-quinn-brings-real-star-power-to-a-joker-sequel/ Edited April 10, 2023 by Marry Illusion Glory

Basic reading comprehension. The way you can't resist spamming in every Gaga thread. Her and Mariah have nothing in common and their fanbases are never at odds so it's kinda WEIRD and suspect. Anyway, despite Adam Driver BOMBING with The Last Duel and 65 and Jared Leto BOMBING with Morbius, Gaga's starpower and acclaimed performance made HoG a hit Not everyone has that.
