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. 

You said the film is nearing breaking point you never said the “theatrical release of the film is nearing breaking point”. I was just pointing out that theatrical releases are not the only profit to be made.

As far as streaming, If I’m not mistaken Paramount + have bought the rights for a tidy sum and as one of its biggest releases I have no doubt it will be one of their biggest streaming successes.

Box office is not an "added bonus" in the movie business. And what are you referring to by "streaming deal"?

Paramount+ outbid Netflix in securing the streaming rights for House of Gucci. That is bound to be an insane amount of money lol

That is not true. Paramount+ made a deal Epix that would give them streaming rights to some titles licensed by Epix, including MGM titles No Time to Die and House of Gucci. However, Amazon purchased MGM shortly after and it looks like that deal may not even apply to Gucci anymore as No Time to Die was not made available to Paramount+ but instead is on PVOD. Anyway, it's a deal between Paramount and Epix. It is not a direct streaming acquisition of Gucci for any premium fee. Gucci was just one of the advertised MGM titles that might have been a part of the pact between Paramount and Epix.

You're massively overstating everything. Gucci was potentially a part of a deal between Paramount+ and Epix, as one of the upcoming MGM titles expected to be included in that pact. There was no high premium streaming acquisition of Gucci by Paramount. It's also not clear if this deal still includes MGM titles as Amazon bought MGM soon after and No Time to Die (also MGM) has not made its way to Epix or Paramount+ (perhaps in the pay one TV window after PVOD, but that is unclear).

I literally said "nearing breakeven." How can that be any clearer? It was not a reference to any ancillary earning in its future. It was where it's at now. In comparison, A Star Is Born turned a large profit in theaters before making it to any ancillary markets. Just describing the box office performance accurately as it is. Please don't tell me all the imaginary things you expect will happen. That's not what I am talking about here. 

Just let reality stand and stop over exaggerating the performance of the movie. It did well. Stop with the delusional hyperbole.

Facts require details. Shall I just give in and do the nonsense everyone else in the thread is doing. "It is awesome! I heard it's the biggest hit ever! There is so much money! Just so much! LOL"

It’s seems you’ve done a quick google and tried to double down on your earlier claims. Gucci won’t just go on streaming without sub licensing fees, it’s not some charity. There would have been negotiations as to which MGM titles go on P+ and how much Gucci got from that deal. 
You said the film is nearing break even but a film is not just a theatre release. No one’s exaggerating anything, when Variety, indiewire and many other media outlets call it a hit I’m not sure why we have to listen to you.

You’re making it sound like the movie is not going to make a dime from streaming or DVD sales when that couldn’t be further from the truth. 

And yes, if it’s the highest earning drama since 2019 (with a long margin) then it IS a hit. You’re comparing it to pre-Covid movies and that’s nonsensical in my opinion.

Lady Gaga has become the guilty pleasure among the pop icons and it shows

Ridley Scott looking like Boo Boo the Fool after young people boosted Gucci’s box office. Now imagine if No Way Home scores a best picture nom like black panther did.

But let's not lie to ourselves. Gucci's audience is not the same that went to see Spiderman, or at least not all of it. Gaga has cultivated an audience of her own that's the one that supports her, plus the fans of Adam Driver.

Exactly. According to the official cinema polls, 40% of the audience said they came to watch the movie only for Gaga.

This are bad news in my opinion. If the movie was good this could have made 250+ million by now.  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. 
 

Are you joking or you are not informed about the film market? 

[Micmaky 917]

Just to put things into perspective the second biggest adult driven box office hit after Gucci made only 30 million. That’s 100 million less than Gucci. 
And as for Spidey, this has to be the most ridiculous comparison I’ve seen online. This besides the fact that Marvel audiences skew young male, the demographic that are least likely to care about Covid and are flocking to the cinema. While adult driven films skew 35+ females, the least likely to return to the cinema due to Covid. This is knowledge beyond just Gucci. Look at poor Westside story, predicted to be a huge hit and ends up being the biggest flop of the year despite being loved by the audiences and critics. 
Instead of comparing to Marvel movies we need to compare to Westside story, King Richard, Spencer, Eyes of Tammy Faye etc as they are similar demographic films.
