I just lurked the audience reviews on imdb and Rotten Tomatoes. It's painfully obvious when a review is by a little monster. 
 

The 5 star reviews just say "Great film! Definitely the best movie experience of 2024! I recommend seeing it in IMAX!"…and then that's it. If you click on their profile, it's the only thing they've reviewed.

 

Every review where someone is saying something of substance (aka they're just a film fan who likes writing reviews and has actually seen it) is scathing.

Oh Monsters…

Yeah I liked the first movie but HATE musicals  I love The Greatest Showman soundtrack and have replayed it 100000x times but have still never even watched the movie

 

Calling it a musical was the biggest marketing disaster they could have done 

The movie slaps though. It's really good

I don't get these threads. It is not even out yet? Oct 4th right? But at the same time I don't care. I will be watching

Flop movie, flop album.

Pop emergency

Quicky wedding/pregnancy announcement/new migraine

/Tony Bennett duet vault release is surely ready to go to prop this up?

FAD and a Joke indeed! 

[Cloudy]

[Kool_Aid_King]

They're using pre-sales to estimate the first weekend. Essentially presales have been abysmal showing lack of interest so they're continuing to lower the prediction because presales aren't picking up even getting close to release date. 
 

There is no 100% certainty though so it could always over perform or do even worse.

Todd Phillips Is Moving on After 'Joker: Folie à Deux': "My Time in the DC Universe Was These Two Films"

I know OGHs will disagree but I think news of Gaga's diminished role has had an impact on some of the audience's interest. I'm not saying she was necessary for it to be a success, but her addition has been responsible for a fair amount of the hype. First the news that it's a musical, then the mixed reviews (with none of the controversy of the first movie), and now this? I can't see it making even 1/3 of Joker's gross.  

In the words of Grace, RELEASE THE GAGA CUT 

[Achilles.]

The first one deserved this but better late than never. 

[MistressKay]

I saw it last night. The movie was DREADFUL! I wanted to leave so bad but was at the premiere lol

She's literally the cause of this  

 

go check her non existent album streams to see how interested the audience is in her

[Phaunzie]

Since I'm not gonna watch, (I hate musicals), how good is it girls?

[QueenB]

I saw it last night and it was shockingly bad. I enjoyed the first film, but half of the scenes in the trailers for Gaga arent even in the film.

This is the director's fault

[Vrx.]

She just can't stop BOMBING
