So they are gonna gross $200mm thats cool they are going to recover the money and WB are going to destroy the musicals script from the future, thank you Gaga 💘

Grossing $200m would make Warner lose $200-300m

At least Gaga is stable in her decline in both movies and music. Which is a good sign.

This is the ARTPOP of her filmography. She'll bounce back.

in the US, movie theaters keep 50% of the ticket sales money, the rest go to the studio and other things.

 

They obviously don't play the movies for free

 

Overseas, movie theaters keep 60 or even 70% of the ticket sales. That's why it's so important that a movie makes 2.5x or even 3.5x their budget

I mean, is this a surprise. Literally nobody likes the movie

[Chris]

It's just so strange to me how Katy and Gaga literally underperformed back to back.

 

Like what the hell?
 

 

Beyonce you better come prepared for Act 3.

[Gottasadae]

This is a complete disaster, especially considering the downgrade from billion to this pathetic crumbs

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.

They say Todd, Joaquin and Gaga's salaries elevated the budget a lot. Like 40 million+ with those 3 

[Blue Monday]

But Little Monsters told me that Gaga was a "butt in seats movie star." Did they lie?

SATURDAY AM: "This isn't a box office marketplace problem, this is a creative development problem," declared one movie marketing vet this weekend over Warner Bros' bold swing with a foul, Joker: Folie à Deuxwhich at a production cost of $190M+ net is coming in way below projections at $47M…or less. Friday was $20M (which includes previews). Off that figure, industry projections are predicting a landslide today for the Todd Phillips directed sequel, down some 20%.

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.

And now it's 35M

 

hows this possible? Genuine question…

[SupremeGoddess]

please please open with exact 37 million  matching 143 metacritic score would be so ironic

*Max. It will go to digital first and then on Max.

I am actually in utter shock at how huge this flop is. Considering the budget of the movie and the franchise, this is historically probably the biggest flop for any pop girl movie.

Because it's not her fault that the movie is bad. It's the director and writers. But of course a forum of male homosexuals is trying to blame a women for a mans flop. 

Girl she read the script. She made the choice. Shes as much to blame.

According to Wikipedia, the biggest box-office bomb of all time was 'The Marvels', with losses of 237 million dollars. I would not be surprised if this outdoes it. Movies usually need to make 2.5-3 times their their headline budget to turn a profit. I don't think this will hit 200 million in gross, and that was the budget.
