Reality 71,273 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I think it'll have mediocre success. It's interesting because there's a lot of risks when it comes to this movie. First of all, it's Gaga's first huge acting gig (yeah, AHS was big, but this is also just as big, if not bigger), it's Bradley Cooper's directing debut, it's a story that's already been told before, and it has an "R" rating. All these things could affect how the movie is received. I believe in Gaga's acting though. She takes her work very seriously, and I believe that she wants to make the movie as much of a success as she can. I think the real deal maker (or breaker) is the soundtrack. We never know, maybe it'll be her "Bodyguard." Maybe she'll end up having huge hits like I Will Always Love You or I Have Nothing.

Bebe 16,696 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I don't think it's going to be a smash, I just don't think it's designed to be that kind of film... It has a smaller budget. La La Land had two popular established acting leads, a talented director who had a couple of critically acclaimed and commercial hits to his name, was rated PG-13 and had a budget of 30 million. ASIB has two popular leads, but it's Gaga's first movie appearance - she isn't known as an actress. It's Bradley Cooper's first time directing, it's been rated R and it has a budget of 7 million. It just doesn't seem super fair to compare the two or expect the same reception and/or success. I'll wait for the trailer to start making any big predictions, I'm sure it will absolutely recoup its budget by a lot. I'd say, considering it's budget, if it manages to make 50 million at the box office that would be pretty good. If it manages over 100 million that would be amazing like that would be a giant smash hit. Think of Little Miss Sunshine, that had a similar budget (8 million) and managed to become a surprising blockbuster raking in 100 million. That's rare though, like that's an unbelievable feat. It's one of those things that just doesn't happen - so expecting that to happen for any film with a budget of 7 million is a huge ask. It's an even more impossible task to expect it to gross over 445 million like La La Land. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeymonda 644 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Keep in mind it’s currently set to open against Sony’s Slenderman movie which will likely be PG-13. Unless they prove me wrong in marketing and it has tons of great buzz\reviews before the release, I just don’t see an R-rated musical beating out a PG-13 horror flick which will likely be marketed heavily. But time will tell. F*ck your perfect illusion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlash 14,539 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I think, no matter how good/bad the movie will be, the soundtrack will be better Spoiler For obvious reasons Spoiler But I still look forward to watch it Ew, David! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bio 23,538 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Movies about upcoming singers with real singers never do well. It will probably do ok because of Gaga but I'm sure critics are gonna hate it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuuri 21,636 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I'm not sure about the rating though. Rated "r" is also given to movies with same-sex relations, or due to the drag queens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prince 4,688 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I think it's obvious it won't be a smash because it isn't made to be a smash but apart from that we literally have no idea lmao we haven't even seen a trailer yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
