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.

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.

A movie, album, single, and soundtrack tanking at the same time? Is this a record?

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

what kind of logic is that? someone would have taken the spot anyway, if you get hired to work in a company and the job position is simply bad would you blame the employer who JOINED something that was existing and would have existed even without them?

is that employee getting $12 million?

Surely Glitter takes the cake there? But it's up there.

OMG  worse than anyone could have expected lmfaooo

Warner should embrace the flop like Paramount did with Mommie Dearest back in the 80s and promote it as a "so-bad-it's-good campfest". They should even retitle it Joker 2: Razzie à Deux

It's fascinating. Even when it was first shown at festivals and word of mouth was not great, the general expectation seemed to be for a mediocre underperformer. Not even the most optmistic hater could predict that this would crash and burn worse than Madame Web.

i just don't understand why the studio gave a greenlight to it being a musical. it's a dying genre, even West Side Story tanked and that was directed by steven spielberg and was actually acclaimed.

 

and then they paid Gaga millions to be in the movie only to cut her material? everything about this is a mess, i was so excited when the first trailer came out but now i'm not sure if i can be bothered to even see it.

'Boring': Gaga's movie divides critics

Lady Gaga has a flop movie on her hands, it seems.

The pop star is starring in Joker 2, which is the sequel to the hugely successful DC superhero movie that proved a massive hit with critics and fans alike.

Sadly for Gaga, she's hitched her name to the sequel, which is being labelled a "bomb" by critics who have savaged the flick now the review embargo is up.

The movie, which made the controversial decision to be a musical, has failed to impress critics and is currently clinging to a "Fresh" rating by just 1 per cent after initially debuting to 59 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.
