The 1937 Wellman/Fredric March/Janet Gaynor was financially successful, nominated for 7 Oscars and won Best Screenplay

 

The 1954 Cukor, Garland/Mason film wasn't a financial failure.  It was expensive at $5m to make but reportedly did $6.1m in domestic rentals (money officially back to the studio) and was one of the top films of 1954

 

The Streisand/Kristofferson of decidedly lesser quality but more meh reviews than turd reviews

 

Then there are movies like The Artist which swipe the concept en large

We also don't know how it did OS so it's possible it was profitable but it'd probably made its money back through rereleases like many films back then did.

WIR2 actual results in an exact $14,000 PTA.

BR still on par with ASIB DOM is a huge surprise, considering the latter had crazy holds each weekend.  So yeah, BR has great legs which isn't something anyone expected (at least DOM)

 

OS it's another kind of monster, doing SH business.

Just realized ASIB is the highest-grossing R-rated movie never to hit #1.

I wish Creed 2 had gone higher. Didn’t seem to be much promotion for it.

It just broke the record for biggest live-action Thanksgiving movie. How higher did you want it to be?

BTW The-Numbers put a good point. Ralph do have the opening record in Thanksgiving weekend as Frozen released a week ahead.

I really don't understand why Bohemian Rhapsody's success is considered anything of a slight against A Star Is Born - a movie that is going to have made x10 its budget when all is said and done.

 

The two are barely comparable (original drama featuring original songs v semi-fictionalised biopic that essentially is a stream of music videos of pre-existing massively popular songs), and regardless it's like trying to claim that Avatar outgrossed Jurassic World, ergo the latter is a failure.

Both are drama/musicals focusing on the tragic life of a singer. Just because one is based on a real person doesn’t mean that they aren’t comparable.  

 

Also A fad is born is as original as the music Fad stole.

A Star Is Born is easily miles and miles better than Bohemian Rhapsody IMO.

What does this mean? BOM has it's domestic take at $4,335,968 btw (which is oddly specific for a film of its age).
