gagaweekly 298 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 A Star Is Born South Korea: $3,800,000, peaked at #4 Indonesia: $1,500,000 Japan: $13,400,000, peaked at #4 Taiwan: $5,300,000 Turkey: $198,0p0 peaked at #7 so Hong Kong is the only place in asia where asib peaked at #1 As a Korean I was kind of disappointed with the result because I thought asib would be a smash because this country loves movie with music So, why do you think asib did not perform well in Asia, although it has smashed in North America and Europe? (I don’t know about South America but I heard at least shallow was a hit in South America) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S0436 10,215 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Maybe because it was a relatively small budget movie rated R with a suicide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilwyn 4,090 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I mean the rock/country sound of asib is not big sound in asia, i think that's why. He was huge in asia until ARTPOP, but after she decided to do cheeck to cheek and joanne she kinda died there, ariana replaced her, she is their main pop girl now.

RAMROD 95,564 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Only one reason: VENOM That movie peaked for as long as ASIB runs in Asia. But ASIB got great hold at 2nd place so it ain't so bad, honestly. Especially knowing most of Asian countries are not into musicals, and I don't mean Disney animation kind. But actual musicals. And when Venom are weaker, it was replaced by Bohemian Rhapsody. It went massive cos Asia have traditionally enjoy rock music more than pop. Let alone country music. Even their mainstream pop music are having rock elements in it. ASIB really doesn't stand a chance to be #1.

Only Yours Truly and My Everything, after that she faded which seems to be a regular occurrence in japan. My Everything sold 181k copies while Thank U, Next only got 14k.. Problem and Break Free were really big in Japan. It was around that time that Ari was posting about studying japanese a lot so they took an interest in her. Taylor was performing in Japan since Fearless (Which is gold certified there (100k copies)) and hit it big with We are Never ever getting back together and Shake it off which were both huge hits thanks to the songs being used in commercials. Which then led to the albums also doing really well and Taylor performing at Tokyo Dome for both the 1989 tour and the reputation tour. https://www.generasia.com/wiki/2014_Oricon_Top_100_Albums You can see 1989 at #34 with 129k copies and My Everything at #35 with 126k copies http://www.generasia.com/wiki/2015_Oricon_Top_100_Albums And the following year 1989 was at #30 with 138k copies and My Everything at #83 with 55k copies Most recently reputation sold about 56k copies in japan so they basically dropped her after 2 album cycles. Same happened with Carly Rae Jepsen. Kiss and Emotion did really well thanks to Call me maybe which was a gigantic hit in Japan and I really like you which also did really well. But now with dedicated there doesnt seem to be any interest left. Gaga's looks about the same: They were interested until Born This Way and then with ARTPOP the attention sank drastically and by the time Joanne came along interest didnt seem to be around any longer. The point i'm trying to make is most international artists have a career of about 2 albums in japan and Taylor is/was bigger than ariana there Thanks for coming to my TED Talk Spoiler No I dont have anything better to do with my time.

I don't know why but her ponytail hair seems like Japan thing so maybe that's why I thought she is still huge in Japan Also I never thought Fearless did well in Japan!
