Will Gucci be a blockbuster success?

[flyaway 15,350]

House of Gucci is the new biographical drama starring Lady Gaga as Patrizia Reggiani, a gold digger who ordered the murder of her husband Maurizio ( portrayed by Adam Driver) 

Directed by Ridley Scott, it seems like a recipe for success (critically and commercially). Do you think it could become a blockbuster success?

I think it will do well (if it's a good movie) but not a "blockbuster"

[Reality 73,574]

I guess it depends on your definition of what a "blockbuster" box office is. A Star is Born made over $400 million, which was really good. In normal circumstances, I could see House of Gucci doing similar numbers; however, we're still in a pandemic and the box office recently hasn't been great.

It's supposed to come out on Paramount+ too, right?? I'm interested to see how it'll do on streaming. I feel like it could be a big hit on streaming.

We all hope so I think, but I don't know because of the pandemic.

I'm also curious; why Paramount+ ? Recently, MGM is bought by Amazon, so it should have gone to Amazon Prime. I guess the deal was done before the Amazon purchase. 

This movie would have more huge if it got Netflix deal. The place I live- Netflix is very accessible.

Yeah, I'm assuming it's because the deal was done before MGM was bought by Amazon.

It would've been better for the movie if it went to Netflix, but Paramount+ really needs subscribers  It's better for Paramount+ to have the movie because it'll probably do really well on there.

if good... it's going to be huge 'cause the hype is real!

[JazzGa 14,538]

I'm going to bet that they will do a broader scale release shortly after the crush of diehard Gaga fans signing up for their Paramount + trials so they can see Gucci as soon as possible. That sounds like a great business strategy for Paramount + lol, u know imma be signing up for this product I am not interested in whatsoever just so I can see my Gag for 72 minutes

I see it doing well commercially but not as big as ASIB.

[Galagala 4,587]

It's a crime thriller / biography drama, isn't it? Few "blockbuster movies" came from this genre. Critical reception matters more.

At least I can say the success won't be as huge as ASIB for sure.

 

[DrewPa 3,762]

I think the film could be a big commercial success regardless of its artistic quality

the intriguing nature of the story (murder in the Milanese fashion world in its golden years), the actors and director involved, the era (80's 90's kitsch in all its glory)... I think that at least the first week people will want to see it even if only out of curiosity.

If then the film is good, or even just funny even if in a camp and somewhat unintentional way, word of mouth will do the rest

[Gagaism 10,168]

Well, streets keep on saying that Lady Gaga, so YES. 

[luxoricious 144]

I'm sure it won't match ASIB, but it can be a kind of successful, for Gaga alone (plus Ridley Scott and other huge actors).

And hopefully will be received well by the press, have a couple of GG or AA nominations, and yes, that will boost the film a bit.

I can’t imagine Gucci doing similar numbers to ASIB - the music a large part of the hype for that movie. 

I think this movie will be critically received, an award contender and do respectably in the box office, but I don’t think it’ll be a blockbuster. 

[Glamourpuss 29,062]

I think it's going to be a success. It might not be a massive hit at the box office but I think it will be critically acclaimed and will be up for some big awards.
