Joker 2 heading straight to digital

It didn’t even make $1m over the holiday weekend. And Beetlejuice is still selling!

Gaga’s soundtrack album out of the Billboard 200 in second week, the film’s soundtrack didn’t even chart.

That's not what straight to digital means.

FFS.

The vast majority of theatrical movies will be sent to premium video on demands after three weekends.

Only hit movies have long windows.

Learn to read, R1. That figure was for Monday only.

R3, films don’t go to digital in under 1 month. R4, that’s the day films make money - it was a big holiday. Stop being a retard, Little Flopster.

DL is the only place where some posters seem to revel in some media or art, commercially failing. It’s weird. Like the OP is likely going to make active updates and I’m pretty sure he’s the one who has been positing all along about its poor reception and Gaga sucking. Is there some type of sexual fetish where people get off on someone failing.

Perhaps some of you don't understand what going to digital means. It's not a giveaway. They're charging money to rent it.

R5, Monday was not a big holiday. Columbus Day is a federal holiday that most private sector employers basically ignore, and has never been a major day for filmgoing.

And the release window for digital availability has been getting shorter for all movies, even ones that are major hits. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice (released September 6) made a ton of money, and yet it's available for digital rental right now. Christopher Nolan can negotiate a long period of theatrical exclusivity, but virtually no one else can. That's just the way things are.

Joker 2 is a colossal failure on its own. There's no need to lie or exaggerate about how awful it's doing.

We went to see "The Substance" last week, It was a Thursday night, so maybe 5 other people in the theater.

During the previews, everything just stopped. We all sat for a bit, and then the tech person came out of the room in the back. She told us something had gone wrong, so we could either get two "Inconvenience Tickets" each or run across the hall to See Joker 2 (which hadn't started yet) and get one "Inconvenience Ticket" each.

Everyone lined up immediately to get the two tickets.

That seemed very telling.

Its collapse is complete. It will never be president.

Did you miss that whole pandemic thingy

Studios were able to change the terms for PVOD

Universal’s agreement has film which open over $50 million have a 31 day theatrical exclusivity window

Films that open under have a 17 day theatrical exclusivity window

Warner Bros has similar agreements in place

The studios LIKE this arrangement. They take almost every dollar from a PVOD rental, while they only get half the share of a movie ticket.

Talking to people who know nothing about show business is like talking to children.

It’s just telling that a franchise whose first film made over billion dollars has flopped this badly. Yeah post pandemic is partly to blame but there have been hits since the pandemic so it’s not merely that. I do think it’s Gaga actually, and I love me some Gaga. But she just isn’t a draw for the big screen. And also it’s a musical so there’s that element too. Hollywood should remember there was a time they didn’t make sequels for hugely successful films. And if they did, years and years would past so they could ensure it was creatively on point.

Oh, you're THAT asshole.

Cono, you useless maricon, stop using my data up already! Get a job or leave my home. I should have aborted you when Batista was still in power!

Boy bye. My mother lives on the other side of the country.

R6, I remember a DLer doggedly insisting that Barbie had flopped after it broke a ton of records.

And as popular as the first film was, I feel that this sequel has permanently stained both films- like seriously.

The sequel said to the original-

"I can see your dirtypillows".

Like Furiosa, also from Warner Bros., a filmmaker with a lot of clout gave the studio an inessential sequel which didn’t appeal to people who liked the first film. They looked good on paper. They had minimal studio oversight. They weren’t something anybody really wanted.

I believe both films were greenlit after DeLuca and Abdy took over from Emmerich, and the haste to build a slate led to films in which the filmmaker had too much control and did whatever he wanted.

Furious was not a disaster.

Furiosa

I think Phoenix and Gaga are established enough and will probably survive this relatively unscathed. Phillips will get all the blame. In fact, Warner Brothers should've seen this coming since The Hangover sequels were beyond terrible. They essentially gave the director a ton of money and told him he could do whatever he wanted, and ultimately he made all the wrong decisions. I'm sure a lot of the straight bros who liked the first film were repelled by the gay and gaga sequel.

Who knows I think it's possible that one day it will get reappraised and gain a cult following.

R1 it made $7M over the weekend for a 10-day total of $51M Not bad if one considers that Spielberg's. West Side Story ended its domestic run after 17 weeks with a total of $38.5M.

I hated the first one and won't watch the second for free...even if I got a free month of whatever it'll be streaming on.

R11 = Lady Caca

It made $700k domestically yesterday. It’s one of the biggest bombs in history.

They film has to make at least $600m to break even.

How much did it cost to make? It doesn’t look like a film with tons of special effects or action sequences.
