Bradley 56,655 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 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 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilboyblue 3,460 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I fear they've miscalculated downplaying the musical aspect of the film. It's almost coming off disingenuous. Gaga is the draw here because we've already seen Joker before. Show us the singing! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wet Fire 6,261 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) It will do great, I believe. Here in India there's immense hype surrounding JFAD. And most viewers don't bother booking tickets months prior here. Everyone and their straight cousins are looking forward to watch it lol Like the last time people here were that excited was Oppenheimer. By the way, Oppenheimer was a bigger hit than Barbie in India. Edited September 18 by Wet Fire 5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its a musical so much that its a movie that has characters that sing, which is hard to convey to the public Purr more, hiss less. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Italy and I never did that lol I buy the tickets only 1-2 days before the day I chose but just to skip the line in the theatre and to pick my fave seats. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monet 780 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 4 hours ago, FATCAT said: Yall Phoenix hates in-person promo, especially talk shows. I'm willing to bet that's why there's been limited promo by Gaga and the other actors. Online promo has been pretty extensive though, I've seen quite a few trailers out in the wild, just like the first film. We're probably just not used to it after HoG and ASIB were interviews everywhere. I think we will have a lot more interviews once the movie premieres in other territories. We only have Venice for now 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LG2008 2,698 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 8 hours ago, FATCAT said: The first Joker didn't have a phenomenal opening either, only $90 M, so if its just as polarizing & gets a lot of attention, it could propel it in the weeks following. Plenty of other movies labeled "flops" by critics went on to be fan favorites. But the first one had a 50 million budget, this one's is 200 million 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality 70,555 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I appreciate some people in here trying to spin that opening number into something good, but the reality is that it's not good. Sequels should generally do better at the box office than their predecessors, and Joker 2 is no exception. If anything it should be tracking much better because Joaquin's Joker became a cultural phenomenon and the addition of Gaga. It should, at the very least, be close to the original film's $96 million (domestic) opening. It might be a career-high for Gaga, but the optics won't look good. People won't compare this film to ASIB or HoG, they're going to compare it to the first Joker. I hope that number gets at least in the $80-$90 million range when the movie finally releases.
