You can make more money with a flop than with a hit!
I get this reference
roughly $100 million to market and distribute.
And yet this is the first time I’m hearing that it’s out
I liked the movie a lot.
It was actually not bad. It stumbled on the ending but did a lot of things well for the DC universe’s « La La Land. »
Yeah it would have worked if they waited another 5 years before trying to beat the horse for nostalgia value. They were impatient.
People saw the first film as a novel concept with a new exciting take on a classic character. People are going to see the sequel as something… not fresh.
Exciting is not a word I would use to describe the Joker movie.
From stairs dancing to shooting talk show hosts, I think a lot of people would disagree with you.
Imagine making 20 millions as a director to lose 200
Meh the director already got paid. Producers are taking the monetary hit on this one. Probably won’t be a good sign for the director’s career moving forward though.
I’m sure he’ll survive, somehow.
Yes, the director definitely got his salary, but the money is still going to be lost by the studio
Fuck it, I’d do it for $2 mil.
Didn’t even know this movie had been announced until I’d heard it was bombing. I never watched the first one so odds were pretty slim I’d have seen it anyway.
I just don’t understand. The first was a novelty that did surprisingly well, I had no expectation that this would be anywhere as successful. Who’s making these estimates?
I don’t think a Joker movie is really much of a novelty? Just a superhero film that looks at an origin story for the most popular comic villain of all time.
