discussion Joker: FAD to lose $150-200M, one of the biggest box office bombs ever

[BlueBlue]

Her harlequin could mean anything 

[Buffy]

Did anyone really think this movie was going to be good? The trailers looked really bad. And then they released pretty much the entire movie into 1 minute clips on YouTube weeks before the premiere. Studios only do that when they have zero faith and know the movie is gonna bomb.

BOMB album, BOMB + PANNED movie. 

ARTPOP looks like a smash hit nowadays.

[Riverbank]

37 million you say?

 

 

The joker really came back to bite 

[SoldierofLove]

Studio lied; real number much lower: Joker 2 opens with 37M (US)

Yes, all the little monsters.
 

 

That's why they are praying this movie will hit 201M total at the box office so that they can claim 1M profit regardless of the breaking even margin.

Tbh I just can't see a universe where a movie with the acronym FAD is a smashing success anyway

[Thickorita]

The cinemas should roll out black curtains for the back rows

I feel sorry for Gaga and like her as an artist, but most of her fans here on ATRL deserve all the lashings. They tear down every female artist whenever they get a chance, for no reason whatsoever.

Don't feel sorry for a rich person pls and she already got paid millions to do this role, so I think she doesn't care when she sees those numbers in the bank.

The worst is still yet to come

 

it'll have probably the largest drop ever for a comic book film in week 2 

 

It won't even cross $70 million domestically

Second week will serve an ultimate free fall of the century 

 

[Taylena]

Are you telling me The Eras tour movie had the same gross in its opening day as this movie in the whole weekend?

So when it's all rosy, it's "no doubt bolstered by Lady Gaga's massive 150 million follower social media footprint."
But now it's Todd's Joker 2.

Were you not on ATRL for the pre-bomb threads? People would jump at you if you dared doubt the success of the movie. They were so confident they were already "predicting" ATRL would attribute the film's success to the first movie/Joaquin instead of Gaga but the tune changed now for obvious reasons

I remember being mass downvoted by the kiddos for saying the movie is BAD bad. Guess the audience agrees with reality lol!
This movie has the worst radioactive WOM I have ever seen. And it's truly deserved it.

What I just don't get is what they spent all that budget on? 190 million is understandable in heavily CGI-reliant movies like Marvel or animated ones but in this one? They spent all that money and for what?  

50 million was just to pay the main actors and director💀

 

20 million for Tod Phillips 

20 million for Joaquin 

12 million for Gaga

The production design felt pretty lavish to me, wouldn't be shocked if it cost a pretty penny. It definitely could've been made for under that though.

 Nobody bombs better than Gaga
