Youngbae Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Wait. I know nothing about boxscores but I've read many times on this very forum that this was going to be a surefire hit and 1 billion dollar grossing movie. Yet now it seems it was a risky project right from the very start. Can anybody explain what happened here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the musical sequences had elaborate set pieces which aren't cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally everyone was gonna watch it for her and now even I'm wondering… no, the joker have a massive fanbase of a very peculiar demographic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feanor Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 8 hours ago, tiagol88 said: Not a 40/50M opening weekend That's even worse than what the OP mentioned. We're entering Flash 2 territory here. A <$50M opening would be a huge underperformance catastrophe, no way it'll bomb that badly. They should ramp up the promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 The GP turned when they heard that most of Gaga's scenes were removed... That's what they get for tryin to dim Gaga's shine. They were afraid she would steal phoenix's spotlight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 this easily could've been the biggest movie of the year. the early reception killed its hype. i fear gaga couldn't save the bad writing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digitalism Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) The level of delusion in this forum . Gaga has nothing to do with the performance of the movie. People don't want to see it because it's a musical and people hate them. If the reviews were good people would check it out. But incels which are the main audience of the first movie are not watching a bad musical. 500 million for musical like this would be considered a hit. It was never getting to a billion again. The people at warner were dumb to spend that much money on Joaquin and Gaga. The budget should have been smaller.

Reginald Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) Todd Phillips, how do f*** up this badly?? From the most-anticipated movie of the year, to a likely underperformance I expected this movie to be a modern Sweeney Todd, then we find out that GaR is barely in the movie, and it's (allegedly) a courtroom drama Edited September 13 by Reginald 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shyboi Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 20 minutes ago, Memoirs387 said: The budget for this movie has been reported at $200 million before marketing but aparently the director debunked that claim, so my rough estimate is that it was slightly more than 200 million with marketing included. Obviously, in this cases, they always downplay the actual budget to make it seem like less of a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were already talks back then that this meant less screentime for Miss Gaga. I doubt they deleted a lot of her scenes lol since she's probably with Joker in most scenes anyway. Anyways this is going to be Gaga's biggest opening and this movie will push her overall gross to 1B from 3 movies. I'm rooting for that Best Supporting Actress nom. She has a better chance in that category anyway. Mostly looking forward to her acting and the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
