I mean, from now on we should mostly get GP reactions only. The next big batch of critic reviews should come a few days before the official premiere. 

(we might get some after the San Sebastian and Zurich festivals, though)

First of all, in no way have I been focused on numbers before. I tell people here all the time that they need to stop focusing on the numbers, but if you're telling me that box office numbers and how well movies do in the future aren't correlated, then you're the one who's wrong, not me, sweetie. 

That is how actors get jobs and how companies hire people in the first place. If a movie didn't do well in the past, chances are it's not going to do well in the future (speaking solely from the box office). So if a movie made $100mm in the box office total, are you going to expect the next one to make $750mm? No, that just doesn't make sense.

People's careers die off because people don't go out to see the movies (so that doesn't translate to box office numbers), not because they've all suddenly turned on the actor/actress. 

Yes, but there is also the case where a person's talent is so obvious that producers and studios will still want that person despite poor box office numbers for a movie.  That actually happened for a director, Stanley Kubrick.  Some of his early films did poorly financially, yet he was in demand because he was so talented.  That foresight paid off for the studios, as some of his later films were huge hits and made loads of money.  He was in such demand that studios were willing to give him the artistic freedom not granted to many directors.

I hope Gaga gets several parts offered to her because of her performance in ASIB.  I hope it smashes at the box office, but if it doesn't, if the right person is impressed she'll get offers anyway, imo.

Well, but that's the exception, not the rule. I'm not saying that Gaga will never get any other future career opportunities (pertaining to movies) if ASIB doesn't knock it out of the park, but in that case, she'll be an exception. Yeah, there are some actors/actress/directors that don't do well at the box office, but are still great at what they do and are still wanted by many, but that isn't the majority. 

Movie companies focus on the box office (as well as critic reception, but mainly the box office). After all, you could be the best director, or actor, or actress in the world, but if your movie makes $12 at the box office, it's just not worth it for the companies.

People are, once again, having their own personal fist fight in this thread while the rest of us talk about the reviews...

You gotta love her for realizing how frequently she's repeated the "99 people in a room don't believe in you..." mantra before changing it to "1,000 people in a room, and 999 don't believe in you..."

Yes, definitely is the exception.  But Gaga's words from 2011 ring true:  "I would pray, and I would dream that someday, one person would believe in me."   If the head of a movie studio who recognizes her talent says "Hire that woman!", that one person that believes in her is all that it takes.  Again, the exception to the rule.

I think this is all a moot, though, because it will smash because of all he hype and positivity.  And now there will be mention on GMA and Ellen.  You only need some of the public to go see it.  Afterward, they will spread the word.
