Depends where the total ends, but it's gonna be between this and The Marvels.

The opening for Warner Bros' Joker: Folie a Deux was even lower at $37.8M this weekend versus the $40M that the studio reported yesterday morning. Sunday came in at $6.2M, -45% off Saturday's $11.3M. The movie cost $190M+ before P&A. 

 

The headlines 

[MESSIAH13]

I still remember some people claiming this would outgross Deadpool x Wolverine 

[shyboi]

Studios always overreport the highest estimates on Sundays so, on Monday every news outlet publish the highest figure possible

 

usually is off by like a million but WB really went out of their way to make it seem it earned 3 million more than it actually did

Except Disney. Disney likes to underreport, especially for their big movies so they can have an "even bigger" headline. The did that for Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine this year

This just got me wonderin, why are people so happy this bombed? 

 

It must suck doing a lot of work and even making and album and... then it crashes from no fault of your own. And people attack and ridicule you 

[jonapova]

Maybe Harliqueef charting on billboard will give this movie some legs

It because LMs are always so cocky on this site and it's nice to see them humbled once in a while.

Well I'll be damned.

I mean it tanked because it sucks. Sure Gaga didn't write or direct, but she read the screenplay beforehand and was like yeah, I wanna sign up for this. Also she definitely had an influence on the musical scenes, which are some of the most panned

That, and Gaga is a terrible "actress". I said Kristen Stewart would rightfully be nominated for best actress and Gaga wouldn't for HOG.

 

And they ultimately ended up with eggs on their faces just as they did now.

LM attack and ridicule other pop stars when they flop so it's just life giving back to them

I'm personally glad it tanked because of this

Joaquin is a cvnt and he needed a reality check. Plus Todd Phillips sucks so the less movies he directs the better.

[KingWitch]

The absolute bomb

 

I think Gaga will never be taken seriously as an actress by audiences,most of them see her films as vanity projects by a popstar who's just capitalising off her name to score movie roles ,if she wants to be taken seriously by audiences she should do only movies for a while back to back .

[Peak Now]

This was a gift for the fans, arts not the charts box office, not bad for a fledging bisexual Italian actress

 

[ctlp27]

Pretty high for a musical. 10 more than Cats! And not even rated R.

I hope they take all of his Joker 2 payheck when they sue him for breaking contract.

Though he is married to a Mara sister and that family is loaded, so it doesn't matter much to him.

Maybe she will divorce his sorry ass to after such a spectacular flop, lol

I feel sorry for Gaga and like her as an artist, but most of her fans here on ATRL deserve all the lashings. They tear down every female artist whenever they get a chance, for no reason whatsoever.

What I just don't get is what they spent all that budget on? 190 million is understandable in heavily CGI-reliant movies like Marvel or animated ones but in this one? They spent all that money and for what?

Garlequin: #17 -> #20

JFAD: 100M -> 60M -> 40M -> 37M

 

An unreversed ARTPOP experience I fear...
