Joker: Folie À Deux

[torontodj]

Despite this being a a bit of a flop, I don't think it'll hurt Gaga too much. She has a new music era lined up, seems really locked in, happy and in a great head space. She also got to put her own stamp on this movie with the companion album, and has a cute smash hit with Bruno Mars which the GP are gobbling up. She'll be fine and people will move past this movie quickly. It won't plague her or put into question her movie career.

I don't think it will hurt her either. She's been getting good reviews and one of the common complaints is she is not used enough in the film.

This will definitely affect Phoenix more especially with the fallout from walking away the Todd Haynes film.

At least now I can say all 3 of my faves have been involved with movie bombs! Kelly with From Justin 2 Kelly, Taylor with Cats and Gaga with Joker FAD <3

Doesn't every pop star have at least one (if not a few- Madonna) flop movies? It hasn't really effected them except when its a star vehicle like Glitter.

I feel like people also just didn’t like Mariah at the time, and it still permeates through onto today even though more have seen the light. T*mmy M*t*la really did the most to drag her down.

Is that what Joaquin was really saying?

The video got removed. Does somebody have it? It was so good seeing Phoenix how bad the movie is...

EDIT: ok, I've just found it.


And this one too:

I don't know how to embed properly but Pop Base reported on Twitter that Todd said that Arthur was never meant to be the real Joker from the comic book or something like that.

He just made the movies about Arthur Fleck.

Do you truly think this is real? It’s pretty hard for people to lip read when you can only see the back of his head.

Wait, I thought Todd Haynes was the one who directed Joker... now I'm looking at Todd Phillips filmography like wow, that explains a lot.

Todd Haynes should be getting some of the Joker money after he sues Joaquin.

Flop is a relative concept. It still managed to pull $116 mil so far worldwide and will probably end up around $220 mil. Will it still be losing tons of money? Yes but it's hardly a colossal flop that may lead to studio bankruptcy.

I don't know if Joaquin said that, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did...

Here's another version of the scene:

The movie needs to make 500m dollars to break even. So they’ll end losing around 300m dollars which is not good.

But a flop being a relative concept is precisely why the movie is a flop. On paper $200m sounds great and if a $10m film made that everyone involved would be hooting and hollering. But $200m relative to its $200m budget is bad.

Okay but losing hundreds of millions of dollars is a flop. It might not bankrupt the studio but it is still a huge loss for a sequel to a movie which made over a billion and nabbed an Oscar.

It’s going to go down as one of the biggest flops of all time; sadly. A few months ago people were talking about if it had a chance of beating Deadpool as the highest box office for an R rated movie.

I’m honestly shocked that it’s doing so bad because if 1 billion people watched it surely the half of that amount could be curious enough to return?

It is over 1 billion USD in total global revenue something, not 1 billion people viewers. A ticket is not 1$.

 

[Macsun]

Yeah Hollywood would be salivating if they sold a billion tickets. It’s more likely 150 million people bought tickets for the original movie. Based on how it’s doing now probably 20 million people will see this? Stark comparison.

I know, I was speaking figuratively.

Yes this is what I meant the numbers of sales based on audience and half of that, I just couldn’t be bothered typing the rest of the sentence to clarify so thanks BOTH!
