I will say that there is a needle drop in the film that is IMO horrifically bad and completely destroys what would otherwise be a big moment in the film

Really baffling one of those in It 2 as well. Like straight up the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a movie this year.

Ha, a Guardian journalist I follow on twitter just called the movie empty trash - certainly at odds with her own paper which gave it 5 stars. 

 

Also (I haven't seen the movie but tiny spoiler regarding a song choice):

 

Spoiler

It uses a Gary Glitter track? Seriously??

Guardian has two reviews.  Brooks - 5 stars &  Bradshaw 2 - stars

The target audience (white males) supporting this movie is expected. We have yet to see what other people think. 

I’m brown , this movie is the best CBM origin movie

it's not a CBM. It's taxi driver with a Joker DLC.

Why do people keep saying this like it's a bad thing? 😃

The biggest issue with Joker is that it feels derivative of better films like Taxi Driver

[Krissykins]

It’s based on a comic book character. It’s a comic book film. 
 

Seeing it tomorrow, no good seats left tonight (at any of the 10 evening showings 👀)

How were pre-sales for Joker @captainwondyful @Menor for Friday. The initial numbers aren't that strong.

 

BTW what will be considered disappointing number for weekend?

I'm estimating 8 million for Joker's Friday presales from Cinemark. 8-8.5 being generous.

Sub-80 would be disappointing IMO

I think WB are expecting $70-80m? 
 

So anything under $70m would be a bit of a let down.
 

Although it’s a bit hard to say under $70m is a disappointment, when just ten million more at $80.3m will be record breaking 😂
 

No matter what happens really, it’s guaranteed that it won’t be a financial flop anyway.

That do seems to be generous. I will think more like 5.75-6.25.

That's very surprising, usually Cinemark is between 1/8 to 1/9 of the nationwide market. Is this an exact number from ComScore?

Oh yeah that was a bad one too. Turned a pretty good facing fear scene into a lazy cheap laugh.

Nope. Thought let's wait for another 2 hours.
