RAMROD 107,392 Posted October 14, 2024 Share Posted October 14, 2024 Or do they just wanna stop all the bad press from the movie that discredited their bonafide image as studio? As we know they have put up pre-orders on home media, both digital & physical, for JFAD. Scheduled for release on December 17 2024. Or less than 2 months from it's initial release date in cinemas. This is so soon and abnormal. Wouldn't surprise me if they will stop showing it at cinemas in 2 weeks because of this. Thoughts? Gaga's other projects home media time frame for reference: A Star Is Born Movie releases: October 5 2018 DVD/BluRay releases: February 19 2019 (4 months-ish since movie release) Bluray 4K releases: February 19 2019 (4 months-ish since movie release) House Of Gucci Movie releases: November 24 2021 DVD/BluRay releases: February 22 2022 (almost 3 months since movie release) Bluray 4K releases: July 30 2024 (2 years 9 months since movie release) (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ 𝔦 𝔞𝔪 𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔬𝔫𝔤 𝔡𝔢𝔰𝔭𝔦𝔱𝔢 𝔪𝔶 𝔰𝔠𝔞𝔯𝔰 (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MessyTop 14,387 Posted October 14, 2024 Share Posted October 14, 2024 A movie can stay in theaters for a long time if it is profitable to keep it. Warner doesn’t decide that, movie theaters do 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ew from Judas 1,103 Posted October 14, 2024 Share Posted October 14, 2024 Even successful movies are getting pushed onto DVD basically as soon as the theatrical release is over. Inside Out 2 became the highest grossing animated movie ever, came out in June, and came out on home media in like August/september same thing happened with Deadpool and Wolverine. The window from theatrical run to home release is simply much shorter now. But announcing the release of the movie on DVD a week after it flopped certainly makes it feel like they’re giving up on it, so I totally get that feeling Ew 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxBones 1,149 Posted October 14, 2024 Share Posted October 14, 2024 It’s not abnormal. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice came out last month and it’s already available on demand right now with a physical release coming in a few weeks. It was a pretty successful movie too as well as some other movies. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
REALITY 75,349 Posted October 14, 2024 Share Posted October 14, 2024 Tbh I think they kind of gave up on the movie right after Venice... Coming out of that festival, the reviews were already mixed, and I think they saw the writing on the wall for Joker 2, which is why they didn't promote it as much. I mean, the marketing for the movie was abysmal, but that's probably because they knew the movie wasn't going to do well and decided not to market it as much. It also dropped 82% this week and the opening weekend was already low, so there's no point in trying to beat a dead horse. I feel like they want to push the physical release so soon because they just want to get this movie done and over with. 🦠🧙♀️🥀📸🎉👻🕺🧟💊💖☎️🔪👤🐺🌱🌎 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t call that abysmal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t call that abysmal Movies typically get 50% of their production cost for marketing. So we should have seen $100mil marketing. This was supposed to be a blockbuster film, and considering the first instalment made it's money x20, a 30% marketing budget is abysmal in context. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
