Chinese and Japanese Little Monsters should come through and save Gaga's box office

[BornUnbroken]

I don't really see this affecting Gaga long-term, or even short-term. The movie failing doesn't seem to be tied to her at all, and her performance is at least being mostly praised. I hope her next acting gig is something lower budget though, I think she has potential to try out indie dramas and being well-received there.

Lol it's two for one tickets here in Canada has this happened before?. Virgin mobile sent me a text lmfao.

None of my Japanese coworkers even knew the film was coming out  Gaga and Joker are popular here but there's really no press surrounding it at all, opposite to the west. But if no one even knows it exists I'm not sure it'll fare much better  

 

I'll be going anyway to contribute

I think we should deduct walkouts from the actual gross, by my personal estimates it made $-8m dollars .

Thank you Oscar nominated actor Ryan Gosling for this smash since Margot had multiple back to back bombs and failed to score a BA nom even being the title character in that movie!

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?

 

 

Yeah. Maybe you should peruse the reviews for the movie which say that Gaga was the only good part, so perhaps if she was in it more, the reviews would've been better  maybe WB should've done screen tests for the film to gauge audience response, and maybe they also would've said that more Gaga was needed  trying to paint this as some massive blunder for Gaga's movie star career is just dumb and uninformed. Maybe the Katy Kats should stream 143 more instead of circle jerking in these threads!

I'm not even gonna attempt to spin this, this is abysmal 

[HolyKatyPerry]

My friend was talking about the movie and said her sister wants to see it just because of how bad she heard it was.

 

A true reverse-warholian experience!

funny thing the movie isnt even bad, just feels like needed more time and depth with writing. 

I'll see it again sometime this week tho, i need to watch it  again to fully understand the concept.

I went to my local theater's website to see how this is doing in tickets sales out of curiosity. They're screening the movie in less than 4 hours and reservations are COMPLETELY empty. 

 

I've literally never seen something like this before

 

 

Update: Two (2) tickets were sold for the 10 PM screening. That's 2 out of 300
