Isn’t that usually for blockbuster films? I don’t think it’s a bad sign at all. It’s the resurgence of the American Musical, it’s the new Golden Age. 

I think generally films should have a higher foreign to domestic ratio. I mean after all, there are not people foreign than they are domestic. Like I said though, ASIB is doing very well, so there’s no need to worry.

Well, I'm from Russia and totally got it what is SNL. You don't have to be in US to understand this or other stuff

You're on a Gaga website so I'd take it you're aware of US pop culture

It's a good excercise of Americana and gritty hollywood. Even here in the Philippines which usually follows US trends with cinema it's not a big hit. It's just 'deep' and 'serious' for our local audience. It's just too raw. I know many people who expected something romantic and they got something depressing.

I mean, they aren't wrong. The box office numbers for the movie are higher domestic than they are foreign. Usually, that's not the best sign since foreign numbers are generally higher than domestic numbers. That said, the movie is still performing exceptionally well.

I’m sure that’ll change when it’s viewable in Asian countries, I’m sure China and Japan are still yet to have it released?

This really doesn't matter at all - Gaga's ASIB film has already outgrossed Barabara's version even if you adjust for inflation which is INSANE! She already won 

[LGMonster95 13,704]

Anyway the movie is still a hit on the box office and highly praised

“German fans were not particularly excited ahead of the film's release,” says Ines Walk, editor-in-chief at Moviepilot, an online portal for German cinemagoers. “And many criticized the film for focusing too much on the male character — Bradley Cooper's drunken country rock star Jackson — instead of the more interesting story of the female singer played by Lady Gaga."

Bitch how would anyone know that movie exists when even the cinemas showing it did like no IRL promo

They did online, but no poster where to be seen ANYWHERE

That Bomehian Rhapsody thingy has billboards and posters all over the place, but ASIB has nothing at all

But the showings I went too were around 70-80% sold I would say, espeically the one a little while after the premiere. People were crying and said after the showing that they liked it, so idc

"ASIB is doing extremely well and has so far exceeded all expectations! Let's try to find something to pick on it!"

The movie made over 325 million dollars. I call that a huge success. Indeed, it performs better in the USA than overseas. BUT still, just because this movie stars big names like Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga - it is still a festival movie! And... seeing those numbers... this is a HIT!
