The first screening is in around 8 hours.

Surprise surprise, first letterboxd reactions are negative. The only interesting takeaway from them is some complain it ruined the first one. But since the first one was a punching bag for letterboxd douches, I'll just wait for release.

bloodbath incoming

[ThomasNicole]

Early reception on Letterboxd from people that are actually in Venice are awful, like truly dreadful. It’s worrying because most people seems to like the first movie, they’re complaining that this one destroys it.
 

The few positive reactions are Gaga fans using fakes.

 

You never can put too much stock in those, but not looking promising.

I read spoilers, and I'm not sure about 1B anymore.

Todd Phillips' reign of terror possibly being over was not what I expected.

I'm not sure about "most", but I just checked and at least some authors of negative reactions hated the first one as well, but they still rushed to see this.

It seems from the curve that she has won over 18 people in the room this time.

Yeah, but they didn't have an invite to see every movie there, Joker screenings were sold out in 10 minutes, which means they rushed to buy a ticket to this specific movie.

Festival or not, they didn't have to rush to get a ticket to almost instantly sold out screening of a movie they are ready to hate beforehand, it's just dumb.

To all who's worried about reviews, just take a look at Joker's top reviews on letterboxd, over 90% of them are extremely negative. It means pretty much nothing until it's released.

[TheDarkKnightOfSteel]

I am seeing only positives on Twitter. Mostly raves. But they are like 5. IDK how

Letterboxd works but still insee

positives there as well.

I hate the top review of Joker so much. 

[Selma]

It was probably gonna be divisive especially since unlike the first one it didnt go to all festivals like tiff and New York 

Idk about the 1 billion gross for now

[Firepower]

From what I gather the movie is a critique of the first one, its fanbase and reaction to the first one's controversies, which might not sit well with fans of the first one. I'm not sure why it's a big problem, but we'll see, it sure sounds interesting.

I did get that possible vibe from the trailer I watched. Surely that possibility was thought as likely?

 

Anyway, it sounds very interesting right now.

Phillips activating his hangover 3 energy for this one, we are eating.

I have no trust in early reactions. We have 5 and a half hours left until reviews. Also. The first movie was heavily divisive as well and that didn’t stop it from having extraordinary legs and getting a ton of awards. So already talking box office from early reactions is premature to say the least.
