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

[MatiRod]

As a long-time box office follower this is possibly the worst result of all time  To go from $1B+ audience favourite to less than $200M worldwide is insane. 

 

Gaga needs to move the **** on from this and Harlequin and focus on LG7. I am now 100% convinced her team knew this would be tank hard and decided to announce the new pop album before the film was even screened at Venice. Very smart choice from Bobby

Her team is so smart that they decided to release a companion album to this flop film and ended up as her lowest charting album ever, right?

I imagine that companion album was decided upon and recorded a long time ago, it was probably done back when everyone still expected Joker 2 to be huge. But after seeing the final cut of the film they may have attempted to bury it quickly by surprise announcing it, and they announced LG7 before it as well. It was a weird strategy if you think about it. Usually an artist would've focused exclusively on the new movie/soundtrack and once that dies down then announce the new pop album.

185 would be a record breaking loss, right? -$300m

Can Lady Gaga's Acting Career Recover From the 'Joker: Folie à Deux' Flop?

The film's failure is bad news for Gaga, who's still nascent in her acting career. In just three films, she's moved from prestige inductee to critically derided. Back in 2019, Gaga was a beacon of optimism for pop stars looking to make the jump; now, she's stuck in a creative rut. Worse yet, other radio mainstays like Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande are placed squarely in the Oscars dialogue this year, while Gaga lags behind. It's sent dozens of gay men into a tailspin, acting as would-be managers planning her next moves.

She'll never get paid that amount ever again. People are walking out of theaters because of her.

These hate trains have become so extra and cringe  It's expected that twitter randoms will rush to post extreme opinions and made-up stories in hopes of going viral, but how f*cking embarrassing that actual media professionals are jumping on it too for attention.

Will they keep this in theaters through Christmas to scrape their coins back or rush release to streaming?

Coyote vs Acme would've turned a profit btw

I…don't think it's going to be this bad. It may cross 200M but still this movie will lose at least 300M to WB

[Capris Groove]

Somehow it just keeps sinking lower and lower. I can't stand it.
