This has been the hot topic on /r/boxoffice the past week !kino. Ticket sales are apparently pretty underwhelming 
.
More threads.
Not all that surprising tbh 
. People hate musicals and this one is a jukebox musical to boot. They have Lady Gaga and they couldn't even be bothered to let her make an original song that could've been used for viral marketing 
. Great job 
.
It can still leg it out and do well but things aren't looking great in terms of hype.

They didn't want chuds to like it. The first one had too much appeal to misanthropists.

I was surprised the first one was so succesful since it's not really a superhero movie. Despite the subject matter, I thought it was good.
Makes sense they'd shit up a sequel.

The first one is successful because it copied the framework of other movies, mainly Taxi Driver.

Chicago doesn't even qualify. Neither would Legally Blonde since they both have original music. AFAIK the courtroom jukebox musical is breaking ground. I even asked ChatGPT and it agreed with me.

I had zero interest in seeing this the moment I found out it was a musical.
Tbh I think a lot of people don't realize it's a musical, I had a friend that wanted to go and I was surprised because he didn't seem like the type that's into musicals. When I told him that, he was like "What? A MUSICAL? HECK NO!"
I wonder how many people aren't going to realize this until they've already paid for their tickets.

I like musicals in person, in movies it just never seems to translate well. The only time I remember seeing a musical on TV that was good was some sci fi show where they were forced to sing, I don't remember the show but I thought that was funny and it made sense for the show.

This is because men have more spending power due to economic inequality, thus all consumer media is beholden to them. This is unfair and needs to be fixed.

!kino, !comicshitters, !schizos, it was obvious Joker 2 was gonna flop when every media outlet in the country didn't run a story about how there's definitely going to be mass shootings at multiple screenings on opening day. Journos wouldn't be able to help themselves if they thought this film had any chance of being even remotely successful.

Everypony saying the first movie was good should take a long look at themselves in the mirror and come up with a good excuse as too why they shouldn't be branded as a potential school shooter incel. Part 1 was literally the gay male version of a women's studies degree (and @ObamaBinLaden say this as a feminist ally )

How does it feel to be a filthy bedouin who belongs to a lineage and culture which has never actually accomplished anything for itself? The only remarkable traits of your people are that they sit atop oil which white people pay you for and that you are dishonest and relatively dim witted. If western leaders weren't a bunch of jew addled traitors they would have wiped your people off the face of the earth and simply taken your oil rather than paid your r-slurred royalty a single cent.
Now we have a scenario in which a bunch of dune coons run around playing 21st century warlord with weaponry their stupid people couldn't possibly invent and pooping up life on earth for everybody. We never should have sold you so much as a Lamborghini let alone a fricking autocannon. Handing you sand BIPOCs modern weaponry is like handing a small child a hand grenade.
If your people were worth their weight in salt they would turn their own lands into a place fit for human beings. Since they aren't able to, they flee to our lands and proceed to breed like rats while feeding their children with fraudulently earned income and welfare paid for by white people. You and your ilk will eventually outnumber us in our homes and our lands will become as shitty and useless as your lands. Cograts, you'll achieve dar es salaam but you won't have running water or a functioning power grid. You played yourself.
Shameful behavior from a deceitful desert tribe. Yet you feel pride. So strange.
Begone, rat.
