J.T. Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Brian Fowler said: They still have some set in that universe, but they are being designed to only loosely connect. With other movies being completely separate. They have completely given up on the MCU model. It just seems counterintuitive that the comic book company that pretty much wrote the book on tie-ins and mash-ups would decide to only loosely connect their cinematic properties. I guess I am just amazed by their continued ineptitude when it comes to getting the Super Friends right in a fucking movie. It should be second nature. Maybe I am just expecting too much?

BurningBeard Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Possibly going to watch this this week but, real talk, how much of this feels like a comic book remake of You Were Never Really Here? Because that's the vibe I've been getting off Phoenix when he's Arthur in the trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) So the cover story of today's Sun is about how Gary Glitter is going to make fortunes off his song being in Joker. Don't say I didn't warn you. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10078657/joker-gary-glitter-rake-fortune-royalties/ Edited October 7, 2019 by AxB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 For Box Office News, Joker breaks the October record for highest grossing opening weekend with 93.5 Million and a 234 Million world wide, and that world wide is WITHOUT the China market. 4th highest opening weekend for an R rated movie ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made $100M more worldwide this weekend than insider industry projections so nice try. Oh and with the confirmed $64M budget Warner Bros. is already making bank. Also, Phoenix has not closed the door on being Joker again. He did an interview yesterday where he was open to the idea.

It's a sign of what they call in the industry "word of mouth". Everyone knew it was going to make money but it made way more than the experts thought it would.

Why does word of mouth explain the box office more than the fact that this thing was dressed up in wildly popular IP that's been all over a ton of other successful pop culture properties for more than a generation? "Experts" went low because of the R-rating, but this character draws. Not sure why you seem to have a problem with me saying so. People dropping the ball on projections has both fuck and all to do with my point. My feeling has generally been that word of mouth better explains something having a longer life at the box office. Thanks for letting me know what people "in the industry" call things though. Very educational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong. Well you shoulda been shouting it from the rooftops! Easily one of her top five matches. Might almost make a Sasha fan outta me. Be a shame if people skip that show because of the main. The women's matches were the best part of it. Oh yeah, Joker. Going to see it Wednesday. Hoping for the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Problem with me using @odessasteps favorite emoji? I can like it too.... Anyway, back on topic. I wanted to touch on the conversation from the previous page. DC/WB saw no reason to scrap certain elements of previous movies. So Wonder Woman and Aquaman and Harley Quinn are all going to continue on and there might be some loose connectivity here and there but probably not a lot, they can all be successful on their own. "Joker" is the first of the rumored "Elseworlds/Black Label" idea but they don't have to be standalone either, if Phillips/Phoenix want to do something but I'm not sure it'd be connected to Matt Reeves' Batman because supposedly he had a trilogy mapped out. They won't try a team up for a while after the butchered JL attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
