discussion Joker: FAD to lose $150-200M, one of the biggest box office bombs ever

[selfmadelatino]

At least she has her music career to fall back on 

[Alongoria13]

Not a bigger drop than MDNA, oh boy

 

[shoganai]

The OGH finally won 

[LaFuerza]

She's a disaster. Her ego must be so hurt right now. This is so embarrassing.

You too boo! Guess you don't know that a movie's budget doesn't include the marketing and distribution costs 

But your math is straight up wrong because you're using different approaches to the two movies

 

Borderlands:

Production budget: $115M

Marketing budget: $35M

BO gross: $35

= $115M loss

 

Joker: FAD

Production budget: $200M

Marketing budget: $100M (allegedly)

BO gross: $123M

= $177M loss 

 

Yet you're throwing around a $325M figure, as if $177M isn't bad enough

The studio only gets HALF of the ticket sales revenue

Gaga's j:FAD has a total budget of around $450M according to Variety, so the total loss is $327M.

Variety never said it had a budget of $450M, they said it needs to make that figure to break even.

Now use the same logic for Borderlands numbers.

Jesus... This is like ARTPOP all over again!!  

You would think that Liddos would have learnt by now not to always be so damn cocky...

I wouldn't deflect with a collab single with one of the biggest male hitmakers of our time.

Not helping your case sweetie:

TWO full ALBUMS: tanked. One being completely solo.

Supposed blockbuster sequel: tanked.

while this is embarrassing for the joker team i guarantee you the gp doesn't care about this and has already moved on from the movie after last week. Let's hope her next move is calculated and right.

You claim her music career is dead, yet me bringing up the fact she has the biggest song in the world right now is... deflecting?

i personally thought the movie was ok, not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be but... let's keep the lashings coming im having fun

Borderlands already recouped more than HALF its production budget from foreign sales. So at worst, it will lose like $60-70M

 

[wastedpotential]

Not Liddos desperately grasping for that Cate Blanchett movie also being a flop as their last hope, while their tenuous grip on the cliff-face (and also reality) crumbles under them 

 

Sisters, none of us here stan for Cate Blanchett, we're all happy to admit that that movie was also a PANNED FLOP, right alongside J:FAD 

 

It's okay to admit that it's over. Just because it's over sometimes means it's really over 

 

[suburbannature]

Not the deflecting to Borderlands of all things

Quote me where I said her music career is

dead. Not you telling on yourself. Your words, not mine. 
 

I would use the word suffering, though! 

[Triton]

Hey! She finally got an 80+ on something!! 

[Life Savers]

Oh the comparison is Borderlands now instead of Megalopolis? Do you realize you're only reinforcing the bomb narrative with those choices?
