Joker: Folie à Deux is out there with 39m$ OR 40m$. Either way, a far cry critically and commercially than the first one which opened with 96m$ this same weekend 5 years ago. It failed to meet expectations, which were

I'm probably going to see The Wild Robot in an hour. Zero interest in Joker, and the only other stuff playing here is Beetlejuice Beetlejuice or a Christian movie. Also something called Monster Summer with Mel Gibson? wtf...

[squirrels_oh_no]

Welp, The Wild Robot made me cry, so that happened LMAO.

I watched Joker 2 and the concept of clowning the incels that lauded the first movie wasn't bad, but it was boring af.
I also watched The Substance and it was really good, very gross

the budget for this was around $200M

disaster all around

[drownsodapop]

wait..I'm so confused. where was the 2mil used. there were minimal sets, minimal fx, only one really complicated setup in the whole film, 80% is behind bars. where was the $$ spent????

Gaga&Phoenix&Todd Phillips

watching gaga fans twist themselves into pretzels to claim that audiences just don't get the film like their little monster stan card came with a film studies degree is hilarious

It's so wild for them to even do this because critics are already saying she's a highlight (perhaps the only highlight) to the film.

Y'all she's okay. Don't twist yourselves so much that it looks like you wanna compete against Auntie Anne's.

[mayjailer]

right? i feel like gaga is the only person involved who's coming out of this unscathed, and she's due to drop the lead single off lg7 within the next few weeks. she's going to be fine lmao.

[babarsuhail]

they are now claiming that it flopped because they cut a lot of Gaga's footage, lol.

[helenrdemeter]

Let's go Transformers woooooooo. I watched it the third time again and still love it. Hoping the European market will help it out a bit more. It deserves a sequel!

[sandstorm]

I think I'll go on Tuesday!

[helenrdemeter]

Hell yeah!!! Hope you have a blast at the viewing.

Since Joker is flopping I decided to watch Transformers today.
