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

[Aristede]

I feel so bad for Gaga. I feel like she's going to take all the blame for this and it is going to seriously damage her acting career, if it doesn't end altogether. I worry they'll be afraid to cast her in anything else because they'll think she's the kiss of death or something.

 

And to think, it probably would've been a big hit if it just wasn't a musical. Literally all they had to do is not make the characters sing and all of this could've been avoided. People heard "musical" and decided they weren't going to watch. 

[Soda Pop Queen]

Damn. This didn't just flop, it torpedoed. 

 

Terrible, terrible idea to turn a film based on comic book characters into a musical. What audience did they think they were gonna get? Comic book nerds are usually not into musicals and people who are very into musicals are not into superhero/villian comic book media. A prime example of trying to do too much with the source material. Everyone lost.

As a huge Gaga fan I have to say it is SO funny how much of a megaflop this is

Yeah, there's no denying that this is a huge disaster lol. 
 

This movie was highly anticipated but audiences flat out said NO

Another massive bomb for Lady Gaga. Flop after flop

LMAOOO I legit can't tell if this is from the Chromatica Tour Documentary or A Star Is Born  

Chromatica Tour? You mean the tour that grossed more from just 20 dates than the ANTI Tour did with 75 dates?

this is the entire world telling you you're bad at your job 

 

 

True, it must be hard for Joaquin seeing as his last movie before Folie A Deux lost $165 million.

It's a bummer because this movie looked like it was going to be good   But it is what it is.  Thankfully this doesn't all fall on her; her performance isn't getting flack and the main thing I've seen is that she was underused (she's apparently only in the movie for 33 minutes??).  Plenty of great actors have been in bombs and moved on.

This is even more embarrassing considering all the hype it got. You can tell her team was expecting a 1-2-3 punch of success with DWAS/FAD/Harlequin to usher in her new album cycle and it completely blew up in their face   

 

Lol, Gaga updating her Instagram bio with all 3 

 

Gaga now 

 

 

No posts about anything at all in almost 2 weeks.

Yeah no spoilers but considering she's (obviously) important to the plot they do a ******* terrible job of introducing her and making us care.  
 

People will dogpile on her now to get revenge on the monsters but Gaga did fine and they definitely did her wrong with this version they put out. She wasn't phenomenal but she was a good actor and her musical scenes were lovely to watch and listen to, they just had no reason to be there

[Hallad173]

The second I heard Gaga was in it and it was a musical, I checked out. I imagine one of these two reasons is why everyone else did too. 

[HANZ94]

I am a liddo but It was so stupid to make the joker a musical 

the target audience was never gonna be here for that and the story didn't need a sequel 

 

this was over since the beginning 

 

oh well life continues 

 

LG7 is coming 

[Shaner69]

I don't care what the little Jokers say I think that's the new nickname this is a career ending movie. 

 

They bitched at Madonna the true Queen that never had a flop like this. 

 

Her new single unless a feature is going to be met with resistance. Like the Movie is terrible and nobody wants to here her over the top anoying singing. Plus she goes out of her way to look stupid in Hollywood. 

 

Send on the planned solo lead lead single and let's see how the little Jokers deal with this. 

 

New wheel bearings or a wheel alignment. 

 

Plain and simple this is the biggest Box office bomb by a so called MPG. 

 

If I get reported over the truth that is on the news constantly then ATRL needs new Moderators. 

 

I rest my case.

Swept away made more money lol. 

[SarahWalkers]

Just watched it and honestly, it's not as horrible as everyone is saying.

 

The trailers were just truly well made and misleading, you'd think it'd come out a masterpiece.

 

It's just utterly dull and very pretentious but not really trainwreck territory. 

 

The way they setup this up this to be some 1B grossing and Oscar sweeping smash, only to backfire this hard is just hilarious though and definitely one for the history books

So let me see if i understand...

 

Todd Phillips is solely responsible for this bomb but Bradley Cooper wasn't solely responsible for the success of ASIB?

soundtrack album also failed to chart on BB200, Harlequin out in 2nd week
