I'm reading on TW $121.1M for its global debut

Is this legit

121 million world wide is very good though? The first one opened with 139 million from what i'm reading online.

That's awful  At this point, I think many of us are ready to move on from this era, as sad as that may be. I'm just glad that we got the Harlequin album because that, to me, is the true gem of this entire thing. Also, we know we're getting the LG7 lead this month, so at least we have that to look forward to

Yes. The international box office met projections. Word of mouth is still pretty bad though. We'll see if Japan delivers on Oct 11 and China on Oct 16.

Break-even point is at $450M. I don't think it will reach it but the target now is to lessen the losses.

Allegedly it's smashing in Italy with ~4M euros box office so far, but I can't find a reliable source for that.

But what about Azerbaijan? Is it smashing there🤔? Is our only hope at this point

the biggest threat for Gaga out of this is that it could possibly lead to future producers being hesitant to cast her for A list roles. Not that this failure of a movie is her fault but I guess in a male dominated business she'll come up too when producers look back and think about FAD. Depends how the movie is doing and what kind of buzz it's going to generate the next weeks. Hopefully it will just fade away and she'll can make us forget with LG7

I guess it depends on a lot of factors like if you ask the film goers

Who are you here to watch? if most say Gaga then its a win

Critics consensus did say she is underutilized and the one carrying the film so there's that

Also, her salary from films might depend on box office instead of upfront payment (as an alternative negotiation)

Nothing will happen. She is LG; if she wants something she will get it.

I guess that is the effect of the first movie being such a smash, Phoenix, Gaga and its heavy advertising. If it's still high in the 2nd week it is a good sign. Generally the second week will be crucial for how this film is going to be looked at in the aftermath

Incorrect. $121M is TERRIBLE.

For comparison, Joker took in $93.5 million domestically in 2019. Combined with the foreign ticket sales of $140.5 million, the film had an opening weekend globally of $234 million.

Joker had a $55M budget. Joker 2 has a $200M budget.

These numbers are ABYSMAL and not sure why some of you are celebrating

I was referring to people celebrating the global numbers in this thread which are actually terrible.
