ASIB flops outside of US

Recommended Posts

Bradley Cooper's directorial debut, which features Lady Gaga in her first big-screen leading role, has wowed U.S. critics and audiences alike — earning some $178 million to date at the domestic box office and topping many awards season best-of lists.

But internationally, in many countries at least, A Star Is Born has failed to ignite.

The Warner Bros. release has earned $144.8 million to date outside of North America, just less than 45 percent of its total take of $322.8 million, while studio-style releases of this sort typically earn 60 percent or more of their gross overseas. For comparison, Fox's Bohemian Rhapsody, which tells the story of rock band Queen and its flamboyant frontman Freddy Mercury, has earned $100 million stateside and already grossed more than $185 million outside of North America. Bohemian Rhapsody is in its third week in release, where A Star is Born is already into its 6th week.

Musical-themed features also typically tend to do well internationally. The foreign box office for La La Land ($294 million), The Greatest Showman ($260 million) and Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again ($273 million) all outpaced domestic by a wide margin.

German fans were not particularly excited ahead of the film's release,” says Ines Walk, editor-in-chief at Moviepilot, an online portal for German cinemagoers. “And many criticized the film for focusing too much on the male character — Bradley Cooper's drunken country rock star Jackson — instead of the more interesting story of the female singer played by Lady Gaga."

Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at BoxOffice Media, noted that the film's "country-heavy soundtrack," which "doesn't cross over to all cultures" might also be a hindrance internationally.

 A Flop is Born (at least internationally)

Clearly not given that the audiences are buying the soundtrack and sending ASIB and Shallow to #1 for multiple weeks gaga1  In many countries, ASIB is in their top ten biggest movies of the year cloud1 Not to mention the rated r rating, it's idiotic to compare to PG movies jj3 and like LLL, these types of movies work differently in other countries. LLL gained 60% of its gross after the Oscars.

 

Also not you LEAVING out this part:

To be fair though, a less than $35 million difference between the U.S. and international box office shows that the film has many universal themes and of course amazing music that has kept it going strong as we head toward awards and Oscar season where it will be a major contender.”

 

and this part

“Strong word-of-mouth has helped (A Star Is Born) expand overseas appeal and earn strong weekly holds in countries like Germany and Brazil,” says Robbins. Warner Bros. points to excellent holdovers in several territories — including Australia, where box office dropped just 26 percent in its fourth weekend, and France, which saw a slim 36 percent slip in its sixth weekend in release.

 

lmfao2  so clearly not the drag you wanted

It's not as if they were aiming for International success anyways, it has historically always been an American themed story catered to the American audience. The movie and it's soundtrack are still going strong as big hits, stop clinging onto little to no credible facts to convince yourself  Lady Gaga  in 2018 would flop lol

Here come the excuses as to why this movie was a flop internationally (as expected, as predicted). 

Gaga has been a non-factor outside of the US for quite a while.

Ouch. So the only top 10 hit was in France. (Of the music markets in the Top 10 that aren’t English speaking)

Only UK is the one market in that list to matter jj2 

And Germany, South Korea and Spain are important markets? ASIB DOMINATED Oceania box office within two weeks of its release and you're going to discredit that because it's not a European market? lmfao2 Sis I stopped reading this article at:
