erfaan 2,676 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago 13 minutes ago, dit said: People picked up that Gaga was demure and mindful during the Venice premier and she seemed almost unengaged. They also picked up that Joaquin and todd seemed very click-ish and made Gaga seem out of place / like third wheel. Obviously tyhey probably have deeper relationship since they worked together before Gaga but it might also be indicative of some kind of weird dynamic going on between everyone which may be causing some delay / or less enthusiastic promo run for this sequel tbh It's all so weird. Especially compared to how much Ariana/Cynthia are promoting Wicked, which is two months away... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantomhive 1,900 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Knew some people were a little too optimistic with that "it can only go up from here!" when the 70m projection was announced Thought WB would be a little more alarmed and would do something more to hype the movie up other than post a few more teasers online but that doesn't seem to be the case In I fly on wings of winter.

Yes, if it pulls in $90M domestically in its first week that's more than half the budget in the US alone Purr more, hiss less. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Featured Comment FATCAT 57,677 Posted 4 hours ago Featured Comment Share Posted 4 hours ago It's so interesting to see everyone freaking out about this, the film is still very likely to cross half a billion dollars worldwide, more than triple a budget that was already low for similar films. Just be patient yall. Purr more, hiss less. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpeer 884 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago It’s a type of movie that you don’t know what to expect, so a lot of people are aware of it but won’t go in the first day/weekend. Even I, if I wasn’t a Gaga fan, would not go watch it the first weekend, I would wait for the reaction and go in at a later date 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember words were throwing around about how it’s gonna open 100M and now it’s project opening 68M. Not a colossal flop but still people were hyping up for a big opening for no reason luna’s advocate Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a colossal flop but still people were hyping up for a big opening for no reason A lot of these "projections" are just educated guesses, they can be completely wrong in either direction. Plus, even if a projection turns out to be accurate, first week numbers aren't the end of the story. Aquaman (2018) is another example of this, it was branded a flop-on-arrival and it ended up grossing over $1B. It's first week numbers were $60M too. Purr more, hiss less.

I had to stop visiting these because they always have crappy headlines by “freelance writers” like “This Marvel character was rumored to be the main villain in Deadpool x Wolverine.” And the source is just some “close reliable source.” It’s flat out boring and desperate for engagement. These are some of that “writer’s” recent headlines (headlines in “”) “John Cena to Star in New Movie Based on Popular Mattel Toyline” Matchbox toy cars is the toy line. “Andor Star Boards Godzilla x Kong Director's New Action Movie” Adria Arjona (Andor) will star in Adam Wingard's “Onslaught” movie “Max's Harry Potter Reboot Series Gets Release Update” Late 2026/2027 is the release update “Crystal Lake: Release Window for Friday the 13th Prequel Series Teased by Director” 2025 They write these enticing headlines and you have to read a few paragraphs for the meat of the story. Lazy journalism if you can call it journalism. Edited 4 hours ago by skaxboy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starmie25 10,945 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Am I the only person who doesn't buy tickets a month ahead of the premiere. Is it maybe more an American thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley 56,284 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago It may be less than the first film but it's still a record breaker for Gaga's career. A Star Is Born: $42 million opening House of Gucci: $22 million opening (remember this was post-pandemic) Joker: Folie a Deux: $68 million opening 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
