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

[Technicolor]

The way this is shaping up to be one of biggest box office bombs of all time... at least it will be in good company with other cinema classics like The Flash, Fantastic Four and The Marvels

Plus Renaissance did quite a number on them. 

 

BTW where did her single from the movie land? Did it do better than 98-OUT? 

 

I guess it did "better" depending on what you prioritize. If you consider a song that never charts in the first place better than a song that ekes onto the bottom of the chart before immediately dying, then yes, it did. Otherwise

it was a surprise release with no promo, it was only screened in the joanne's trattoria basement on the first day, it just went up on motherfucking AMC nine days ago, we don't care about the ticket sales, this movie wasn't for no box office, this movie was for the streets

The answer is no. No song was about to out peak the 98 peaking smash spirit

It turns out she's the joker at the end with her choices. That's for signing to do the project before the script was finished, all because it was an easy way to receive an Oscar nomination.

"That would be a record second-weekend drop for any "big" movie"

So many cringe, extra, cocky, unhinged comments from the liddos only to lead to the biggest nosedive in film history.

The mosters are so focused on what Gaga would get out of this because Joaquin won an oscar for it that they are not thinking how bad of an idea this could turn out to be. 

 

 

 

First of all I don't think a campy musical is a good career move for her. Sounds like more of the same and makes Gaga look like a one trick pony 

 

But also you have to think about the project itself. Joker's audience is mostly straight white males and the stans of the movie are literally incels. 

 

Those males only watch Scorsese, Nolan and Comic book/ action movies. A musical is not their cup of tea. They have been complaining about it being a musical on the internet since it was announced. In addition if the movie is a musical and it's bad Lady Gaga will get the blame for it and it will alienate her even more from straight men

 

This would work if they push the rated r aspect of the movie to win those straight but the thing is if it is too gritty it won't do well with the oscar voters. Comic book movies are already hated by the voters. This is definetly not a safe bet 

 

Another aspect to take into account is that this is a sequel of a 1 billion dollar movie and it's probably getting a bigger budget.

 

If it does less money than the first Gaga will be dragged for it eventhough she probably won't deserve it since the problem is it being a musical

 

 

 

What I'm trying to say is this is not the best move for her. There's too much that could go wrong. if all that she wants is an oscar, she could try whith other type of movies that are much more Oscar friendly and make her show more range as an actress

This is her Artpop which means in two movies her ASIB will happen. Wait a second…

Put some respect on them, the string quartet were in a billion dollar grossing movie and part of the biggest soundtracks of all time.
