Lady Gaga reflects on the ups and downs of her career: 'I think that I just went through a lot'... as latest film Joker FLOPS at box office

Quote

Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history as the film bombed at the box office on opening night.

The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as 'bleak' and 'disappointing' — officially released in theaters on Friday, October 4, but it only raked in $20 million at the domestic box office, per The Hollywood Reporter.

However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore — the lowest score for a comic book movie.

Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year and also received terrible reviews — holds a higher score with a C+.

"Forty-three percent went to Joker 2 because of Phoenix, 39% went because of Gaga, 39% also went because it was part of a franchise they love, 23% said it looked fun and entertaining, while only 7% –not that many– heard it was "good.""

 

BISMS!

My Substance screening for today is more sold than the FAD ones  word of mouth is a beautiful thing

The Substance is so fun and I'm not usually the biggest fan of body horror. I haven't laughed during an ending for a film more than this in a while, absolutely batshit bonkers. Top tier film honestly.

color me surprised! I actually really never knew about discounts on Sundays, mental note. 
 

they should have discounted the later showings too because the 7:30 near me has 9 seats sold.

Gaga's Joker FAD opened with a domestic debut of $38-40 million in its first weekend (falling short initial predictions by $80-110 million) , while Barbie made a strong $70.5 million on its opening day alone.

 

For Joker FAD to match Barbie's first day numbers, it would need a 1.9x multiplier, an unlikely scenario given its terrible reception and the way it's collapsong due to the toxic audience response.

 

At one point, Joker FAD had generated more hype than Barbie.

 

But something went wrong. What's your opinion on the possibility of Joker FAD failing to surpass Barbie's first-day numbers? Did Margot Robbie win at the end?

Both are Warner Bros' hit franchises! No need to compare!!

[PerfectCure]

Oh no omg let me go cry  

[nsst]

flop

[Doctor Dick]

Margot Robbie had four JFAD's back-to-back (ironically a solo Harley Movie flop as well) before she scored with Barbie. That's more flop movies in a row than Gaga's filmography so far.

I just got back from seeing it - a sunday matinee in a major city on premiere weekend and there were literally FOUR other people in the theater  by comparison i saw Megalopolis in the same theater at the same time last week and it was half full  

 

word of mouth must be spreading FAST about this  at least Megaflopolis gave us a fun aubrey plaza performance

Only the suicide squad(2021) is as big of a flop as JFAD
