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.

Today? Sure doesn't seem like it. I wish there was at least one show on which I could rely.

They didn't want chuds to like it. The first one had too much appeal to misanthropists.
Well they got their wish.

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.

It's a court room drama musical apparently lmao.

Almost everything I've read about the movie sounds amazing. Courtroom drama musicals are an underappreciated genre.

What others are there? Other than Chicago, I mean.

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 think they might have wanted to actually subvert expectations but then had to compromise on the plot. Expect this one to end with the joker being punched by batman, or something.
