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

[Shelter]

Not it actually turning into a FAD. The signs were there 

 

[bjorn]

From $100M prediction from the liddos down to $44M

 

That has to be a record!

I don't know who woke up and decided to let him play auteur dress up but the man does NOT have the juice; the first Joker was a Scorsese rip off that fooled the average person into thinking he had any substance to speak off, but I think JFAD is going to prove to people he's a fraud 

I mean the Hangover franchise already proved that. He sucks at telling original stories.

 

As you said the first one is just Scorsese dress up with the Joker/DC brand slapped on it. If they had to make a sequel, he probably should've ripped off Bonnie & Clyde next. It still wouldn't have touched the original which is a lighting in a bottle type success but would've probably faired better than whatever the **** this is.

The way the opening numbers DECREASE every time I scroll past this thread . The moment it was announced it would be a musical, I knew it was done for.

Gaga is only in 30% of the movie, if she was in all of it, it would open with 230M...

would this be the biggest superhero bomb of all time? i can't believe it's not even gonna exceed the marvels in the US 

The Marvels cost almost 100 million more to make than this movie so no it wouldnt be.

Why didn't Bruno play the Joker ? Bad choice.

I know this thread is a Gaga circlejerk atm but can the movie people actually talk for a sec. Do y'all find it interesting that this might be yet ANOTHER 2019 sequel that underperforms? We've had Shazam, Aquaman, The Marvels, now possibly Joker 2. Also I think Mufasa is gonna bomb too. I just find it interesting. I feel like all of these movies took WAY too long to come out.

After seeing it last night... screening it at Venice was a mistake. That killed hype. The movie just isn't as strong as what it could have been. A shame. Someone else should have wrote it with Phillips directing.

Maybe she can book the next Adam Sandler movie or something 

 

not as her love interest tho, that's usually reserved for very beautiful actresses who are clearly out of his league

All those had much smaller budgets though.

It has to be The Marvels. That budget got mega inflated with Covid and then reshoots brougt it up to 270 mil. It got inflated from a 130m budget to 270 and made less than 200m WW.

Don't forget the male artist who scored 8 us #1's.

 

Lady Gaga just hitched along for the ride:

They should've cast Ava Max

I honestly think the only major mistake with the movie is that there's a few too many musical sequences (the diegetic ones) that could have been axed or just cut down. I felt like this was a step up for the movie because the supporting cast actually had **** to do and weren't just props to make Arthur's life more miserable. All of the big musical numbers were great and actually made sense for this version of The Joker imo. I don't wanna say much here tho bc spoiler culture ruins stuff for people.

What a shaky start. Kukai was ahead of her time

The many members of the Academy of Motions Pictures Arts and Sciences didn't get the memo, hopefully they will this go around. I actually thought this was going to be a bit of a Bonnie & Clyde type two-hander considering all of the noise around Gaga's involvement. Come to find out she's not in the movie much at all

Gaga is mimicking a Katy Perry career shift
