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

[P.O.P]

I blame Ga Ga

[Bloodflowers.]

Y'all want this film to fail so badly

[Lady Claire]

Joker 2's shaky start is a worrying sign?

thoughts?

Can you update the thread title to "Gaga's Joker"? 

[LittleStarmen]

Is the GP that aware of reviews ? In my time barely one would read a review of a film

Sure

[Crank_It_Up]

To be fair, I think the second it was announced that it would be a musical, we all expected it to be less successful than the first. Musicals rarely succeed at box office these days with a few exceptions.
 

Besides, I don't know about you guys, but I didn't think with how the way the first Joker ended, that it needed a sequel so I was initially surprised to hear the news about this one being in development.
 

Nevertheless, I'll be going to see this! I can see this being big in its first few weeks, but unlike the first Joker, after Halloween, Deux is very likely to lose all steam and fall out. 

[Domination]

Everything about this movies reception so far is mimicking the first so I'll wait for actual numbers. The first was a heralded as a critical bomb and the media was running with this movie theater shooting narrative and it ended up smashing. I doubt this will out perform it but let's just say many want to see Todd Philips fail.

[Tovitov]

The way Im gonna have to see this nonsense movie and drag all my friends and family with me to help the box office. Todd Phillips when I catch you, Gaga's the only saving grace and you edited her out

It was just a few weeks ago that "Joker: Folie a Deux" was practically sealed for a $100M opening in October, but these days reviews matter, especially for a film such as this one, and the film's Venice reception was just not good.

Former theatrical exhibitor Empire City is now sounding the alarm on 'Folie a Deux.' Not only is its $100M opening in "serious jeopardy," but it might very well go "a lot lower" in the coming days and weeks. They're not ready to bet that it will reach "The Marvels/Flash territory," but a warning is now justified.

The film is three weeks aways from release, and the buzz has definitely been dwindling. Last week, 'Folie a Deux' premiered at Venice where it got panned by critics. It doesn't help that the film is an R-rated musical, which was already a tough sell to begin with, especially for fans of the grittier 2019 original.

This Empire City guy is legit and always right about box office. He sucks but he's reliable 

[Onion Girl]

This is what they said about Avatar and Avengers: End Game look at what happened.

[Erotic]

It's over for Gaga! Hollywood's most unwelcome! How will she ever recover? 
 

[SmittenCake]

Meh. Gaga's acting is getting praised so she wins no matter what. 

[Rocket]

Coming for Cats opening weekend numbers.

 

Very shaky. I'm worried.

Male director and male lead but let's pin the failure on a woman 

[Sugar-Rush]

Why do we need two threads about this? Anyway very modest numbers. Very demure.

Absolutely nobody on earth predicted Avengers: End game to flop  not a single soul. 
 

I've had no interest in seeing this movie ever since it was announced as a musical, but what matters is WOM from audiences. Some movies hit with audiences while bombing with critics and then become hits. Some hit with both (Top gun maverick, Barbie, Oppenheimer). 

[HASHTAGPOW]

They should've casted Jessica Chastain

No one is here for pretentious movies and actors that take themselves way too seriously

[XDNA]

The director deleted a lot of Gaga's scenes or shortened them. 

[Taylena]

DC/Warner keep taking Ls  

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

It's okay, Gaga can distract herself with her global #1 song on Spotify and LG7 lead single. 

[4th Time Around]

Why the title as if this is Gaga's film?

 

She did not direct the movie, she is not the lead character and critics praised her acting performance and complained she was under utilized. She will remain totally unscathed regardless of what happens with the movie
