It's definitely a commercial success. A critical flop though

they're both dramas.

one is sports drama, the other one biopic drama.

so we could just look at biopic dramas, but another gaga fan was staying "but not music biopics, those are different."

 

so dramas + biopics + not music is the focus ig. 

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

being pg-13 (or even pg) doesn't make something for children.

 

downton abbey certainly isn't going for the same crowd as, say, super mario. 

or movies like, say, death on the nile or elvis. those aren't children's movies.

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.

HOG was also released on a Holiday weekend, unlike most adult dramas

Girl, if you sincerely think Creed, a sports legacy sequel built off of a famous IP, is comparable to HoG then idk what to say :deadbanana4:

...no it isn't.

 

Downton abbey: 48% over 55

Elvis: 48% over 45

House of gucci: 31% over 45

Death on the nile: 28% over 45

 

here's thr saying king richard is an adult drama: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/box-office-winners-losers-house-of-gucci-1235053651/

here's deadline saying a man called otto and i wanna dance with somebody are adult dramas: https://deadline.com/2023/01/box-office-plane-gerard-butler-the-avatar-way-of-water-m3gan-1235221135/

It was also released during peak Covid during the Omicron variant resurgence.

It's seriously embarrassing, especially when they're being proven wrong by Deadline articles, but it's clearly poor trolling, which has been done tones of times from the same user in Gaga related threads.

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 was 26 November 2021 that WHO declared that the world was facing a new variant of concern: Omicron. It would go on to change the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic.

House of Gucci release: November 24, 2021.

... It wasn't still at its peak at all which is what you said. It was barely announced. It peaked in the following January. 

 

On Nov 23, there were 100k new cases of covid. On Jan 14, there were 900k :rip:

Just because it wasn't at its peak of cases it doesn't mean it wasn't largely discussed since weeks on the news with consequent alarmism about the situation, movie theaters were still dealing with the economical crisis of the Covid situation in that period.

 

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.

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 :skull:

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.

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.

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.

That user literally said “HOG is the highest-grossing film since 2019,” hence why he corrected himself in a reply to me after I posted that list. 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 :clap: Not everyone has that.
