‘Wicked’ becomes the first musical film adaptation to cross $200M at the domestic box

[AsleepOnTheCeiling 6,136]

I really thought this would flop based on how Oz did back in the day as well as musicals overall lately combined with box office trends. But I'm happy for Ariana, and I'm glad to see her negative press earlier this year didn't affect the film.

Genuinely happy for Ariana and Cynthia but I can't help but feel this also should be happening to Gaga  she gave it all to FAD, delivered flawless acting, gave endless promo, she even did Harleyquinn for it!

And she ends up being relegated to a smaller role, it's infuriating and it isn't fair to her at all.

I really have a feeling if they didn't cut her so much the movie would be received much better and it wouldn't suffer from the apparent lack of directing in some places.

I curse you Todd Phillips  

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for Wicked success, very deserving and a good omen for future musicals, but i had to get this out of my chest 

it’s just not the same kind of movie babes - even if it was well received.

Meh, you win some you lose some. Gaga has all the talent in the world but if she and her team can't get better at identifying roles worth pursuing then that's on them.

The SECOND Joker 2 was announced my immediate reaction was: 

A sequel to a DC spinoff that got mixed reviews? Not exactly a slam dunk choice. But then I bought into the hype and got excited... only for the movie to suck outside of Gaga's minimal screentime and end up exactly as I had suspected.

the movie was amazing. Its deserving.

in retrospect it was a big gamble, if it worked, she would win over DC fans and cement herself as a household name. And on paper it looked good, joker 1 was acclaimed and did well on the box office, the sequel still had Joaquin and has the same director, I can understand why she accepted it, if only Todd didn't screw it up.

Just a bump in the road, I am sure Gaga learned from this experience. She will be more selective moving forward. 

OT: I am so happy for Ari and Cynthia, I can tell this project means so much to them!

Tbf the color grading looks significantly better on screen in the theatre than it does in the trailer
