If a Marvel Movie can top pre pandemic numbers there is no reason For House of Gucci to underperform. It’s that simple. The problem isn’t the pandemic. Sony had it’s biggest movie ever. Sure, marvel fans are obsessed but still… if they can snatch a billion it means that the audiences are interested in going to movies. A Star is Born had the same rating and much less star power and still made 400M+ in 2018. So, HOG should at least hit close enough. But it won’t cause the movie sucks in comparison. The biggest warning is that HOG drops more than 40% each week. That isn’t a good sign at all. It means that it won’t make much more money. I do hope it still reaches 200m. The movie is floating with Gaga star power and performance but it needs to snatch awards to at least drag it’s lifetime a but more in theaters. With 40%-50% drops the movie is losing audiences fast and that normally means bad WOM. If it wasn’t for Gaga and a strong start this would bomb hard. Oh boy, let us enjoy this achivement. If you are trying to compare a Marvel movie to HOG you clearly don't understand anything. So yeah... Bye negativity, thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodandsmile 10,645 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 man went from comparing hog's gross to freaking Spider-man (as if pandemic is gonna stop the millions of fans to watch it many times!)... to comparing it with PRE-PANDEMIC r rated numbers like those movies would have done those numbers if they were released right now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenWonder 4,372 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Lol. Comparing HoG to Spiderman. Sheesh. Stopped reading any of that posters comments after that. As someone who's in the TV/film industry, HoG has truly cemented Gaga's status as Movie Star. ASIB was sorta seen as a novelty. Or Gaga just playing a version of herself. The film version of a one hit wonder. But with HoG, she proved she could not only carry a movie, but carry an R Rated movie, during a pandemic, that received mixed to bad reviews. Well done, Gags!

Can't you see the press HOG is receiving for being the most successful adult drama of the year? You're literally creating a situation that exists only in your mind, far different from what is being published on Deadline, Variety, and other publications that actually matter. And, in case you don't know, MGM started reducing the number of locations the movie is available on Dec 17. It went from 3404 to 1907, then to 907. The movie isn't losing audience, it lost locations because MGM had Licorice Pizza available in only 4 theaters. And with all those movies released in the last two weeks, it wasn't possible to keep HOG in all 3404 theaters anymore. Otherwise, Licorice would never reach a wider audience. It's well established that HOG is the second most popular award contender this year, only behind of Dune. All the other movies are huge flops, including Belfast and King Richard. Remember I told you you're imagining something that doesn't exist? Yeah, the narrative is this one: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Marvel Movie made a billion in 12 days during a pandemic I don’t think we should see this has a great result. Also, K Stew is getting more buzz lately, with Kidman following and Gaga it’s going down. At this point I hope the nomination is locked. Winning seems very unlikely now. 125 million it’s enough. But it isn’t a success. It’s still “dodged the bullet” territory. We really need to snatch some awards to revive it. Delulu af like wtf Is it crack? Is that what you smoke? OT: Congrats Queen!

HEARTSTOP 3,137 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 4 hours ago, Akiki said: Are Marvel movies immune to covid? If the pandemic was a factor it would be impossible to hit that mark. There is no way marvel could hit a billion in 12 days. No way! And not only that. It’s the biggest movie for Sony. Of all time. Those are two incredible feats for a movie released during a pandemic. A feat that sony never achieved in a time pre covid. My point is not the brand. It’s the market. The market was ready and HOG (while doing better than any other R rated drama since 2019) it’s still very low from regular numbers. The biggest R Rated movie from 2019 was the Joker. An anomaly of a movie, sure. But the average from R Rated movies would be 200+ and I dont see House of gucci nearing it. 200 million was the BO from straight out of Compton. Here in Portugal we can't go to the movies without a negative test (even when vaccinated), which makes the cost of watching a movie at least 100-150% more expensive. I'm sure it's this way for many other countries. This prevents many adult people from going to the movies, it's just not worth it, including for me, a Gaga fan. Children are excluded from these rules, which makes the audience for a Marvel movie automatically larger. On top of that, HoG is also an R-rated movie, excluding a main source of income for most movies: teens. Also, it's Marvel. Nonetheless, one of the most iconic characters from Marvel ever, with a 60-year legacy. No (unestablished) movie can compare, pandemic or no pandemic. Just look at the top grossing films of all time. There's also the fact that most Marvel movies come out pretty much simultaneously worldwide, while HoG isn't even released in a lot of key markets yet. And at the end of the day, HoG just isn't a great or previously established movie. You really can't make these comparisons at all. IDGAF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler1992 2,264 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 This is impressive! The numbers when it comes to streaming will be even more great. Gaga is 2/2 in terms of critical reception and box office performance. Yes she had the advantage of being a massive pop star, but she didn’t get the roles she had by her name alone. If anything, being a massive pop star put her at a huge disadvantage. This is perfect! When Gaga went to rebuild her image in 2013 she absolutely came for blood.

RichAssPiss 4,929 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 If we're being honest, it's still only nearing breakeven point for a film with its budget and marketing but given the marketplace that's very impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. You need to factor in the streaming rights and digital release etc. Gaga/Driver fans are very loyal and will make sure the DVD sales are through the roof. Also, as most people that wanted to see it haven’t due to Covid, this will surpass streaming records. I myself am waiting as Covid has finally hit Australia bad.

It will not "surpass streaming records." That's hyperbole. Which records are you even referring to? It could do very well on VOD when it gets there. I didn't say it wouldn't. In terms of theatrical release, it's nearing breakeven point. What I said is still true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
