The Star Is Born soundtrack is a global smash, does Warner Bros profit from that? Is it part of the profit they'll make from the movie?

I'm sure they profit from it but my guess is Cooper and particularity Gaga get a significant chunk of it, not to mention Interscope Records.

It was released by Interscope Records (Universal) so not really.

Gaga wrote or co wrote most of the songs, so she’ll profit the most probably

4 is not enough and that being generous. the album is quite basic and uninspired and doesn’t hold a candle to the amazingness that was The Greatest Showman soundtrack.

Umm, TGS soundtrack amazing? What? The "soundtrack" for that was the same shit I crap on the radio every day. Even the intentionally shitty pop songs in A Star is Born (Hair, Body, Face and Why did You do That?) were better than the unintentionally awful pop songs in TGS.

 

Like I get that we are talking about opinions but I don't understand how A Star is Born soundtrack is "basic and uninspired" but TGS's isn't.

Royalty payment is not a major source of income for most artists. It usually takes a long time for a song's rights to become profitable for songwriters and performers.

 

It's the record label who owns the rights to the recordings of the soundtrack. Therefore, most of the revenues from sales or streaming go to the record label.

I only like one song on the soundtrack (Always Remember Us This Way, also the best scene in the movie). 

But I gained new apprectiation for the movie, especially after I watched Vice, Ben Is Back, Destroyer, Mary Queen of Flops, First Man, Mary Poppins, Roma, Bohemian Rape City, etc (they all sucked to varying degrees). 

I liked Widows, though!

Please, never, ever change, La Binoche! I love reading these sorts of (genuine?) contrarian posts.

Yeh I’m sure as an individual she’ll profit the most. That’s a revenue stream that’ll never go away. The revenue goes to the label, who then have to distribute it to everyone involved. I’m sure the writer and performer will get the top cut.

Bye, TGS soundtrack was not the same shit your hear int he radio stop it. You’re literally the first person I ever hear saying that. 

 

It was a modern version of Brodway songs that’s what makes it amazing. The songs are structured like Broadway songs but have a modern twist to them. 

 

ASIB soundtrack sounds like a bunch reject from Gaga previous album with an ounce of pretentiousness.

Actually the label will get the top cut, then song publisher, the writer, and last the performer.
