She appears about 15mins into the movie, and is present all the way through. 

The narrative that she's barely in is just liddos lying as a coping mechanism. 

33 mins of screentime in a 2h 18min movie lol

Meryl had 28.5 mins of screentime in Devil Wears Prada, FYI and she was a lead.

D cinemascore

lower than Madame web, borderlands, megalopolis, Morbius.. Hell could be lowest for any comic book movie EVER

the first one breaking all the good records and this one breaking all the bad records is quite something

[choerry]

With the terrible cinema score, this is truly becoming a debacle. NOTHING redeeming about it whatsoever. 

[Jack!]

I mean, discussing the narrative how much or how little Gaga is in the movie isn't really targeting the problem. A quick sweep at the reviews shows that neither her or Joaquin's performances are what's bringing the film down.  But I understand ATRL-ism's and looking for easy drags. But in seriousness I think it's just a case of the movie just sucks, bad writing and script and I don't know why Todd Phillips or anyone at Warner Bros. for that matter thought an appropriate follow-up to Joker, considering the audience it targeted in 2019, was a musical.

 

A swing and a miss. Everyone involved will live though.

[Navyofbadgals]

So; only 2nd movie post covid to get a score as low as this

lower than cats (2019) too

lowest for any DC/Marvel project

possibly lowest for a blockbuster ever

 

the Liddos that are polled probably kept this from an F cinemascore but at least then it would join a memorable category  now it's just a disaster without any of the benefits a disaster might bring.

 

this isn't going to gross domestically more than the original did in its opening weekend and it could very likely end up below 200M; aka the budget of the movie without marketing

UNDER $40 mil OMG. PANNED BOMB.

@Kukai GET IN HERE

[Lil' Oz]

Wow. I have to update this thread almost every hour because the numbers keep dropping. We've started with 75M then it was 60M then it was 50M later it was 45M and now it's less than 40M. This is probably the biggest flop in comic book adaptations.

The film made $7 million from Monday–Friday night previews, down from the first's $13.3 milion (-46%).

I just checked the IMAX showing at my local theater and there's literally 10% seats sold

It's about 60% full for every showing after 2pm at mine

I watched it last night… and I did not enjoy. 
 

 

I will say, Gaga really is fantastic but she's given barely anything to work with. Her character has no agency… 

 

She'll be fine (Gaga is still a hugely respected megastar) but yeah… there's no way to spin it. This is a bomb.

She literally didn't even get a single solo bombastic music number. What a waste.

There are indirect costs that may not be reflected directly in the budget. They need to earn at least 500 million for the film to be considered more or less successful.

How on heart that movie would cost 200 millions ? It have like 3 sets and the people that worked there are the same as the Joker 1 i was being sarcastic because i don't belive that "200million stuff" it's not realistic.
