How come Rocketman bombed when Bohemian Rhapsody made $900M?

Rocketman bombed because Elton John is still alive.

No Harlan Williams

Rocketman was by far the better movie but beware, it is an actual musical.

This

Even zoomers know We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody
Ask zoomers what Rocketman means to them and they'll ask if it's that chink dude that Trump likes

The simple reason is that it came second

The other reason is that Elton John is still alive and so nobody is rushing out to see his movie

this

Elton John isn't dead and wasn't le epic degenerate, he was just a boring fag

I have it to myself that Bohemian wasted a lot of people's good graces by being utter shit at telling the story of someone people liked who died in dramatic circumstances and was a milestone on the great public's awareness of fags and aids.
Elton isn't liked like that; he ain't even died like that either, or is dead at all.

You'd have better luck making a shit Cobain movie or making a shit George Michael movie a few years from now once we've all forgotten that he was kind of a cunt in his latter years.

Of course, you could always make good movies instead of shitty puff pieces but eh.

>fags aren't degenerate
I'm glad you've grown user.

We just had a semibiographical film about a gay musician named after one of his songs. Oversaturation.

as far as fags go, elton is as vanilla as it gets
he's about as boring as your nan but with a dick

>along with AC/DC, everybody knows songs by them from the age of three.
Not really. Apart from Highway to Hell or TNT and few Johnson era hits, people don't really know them.

Only the dead can be made out to more than what they were. For there is no living survivor to prove the legend wrong.

Elton has lived too long and has became a parody of himself. Ha he died, let's say in the 90s, this movie movie would have been bigger.

That's the thing, it's the same with Queen, only about three songs are famous but they're so ubiquitous you can put them in anything or any situation and you'll to instantly put everyone at ease because basically nobody hasn't heard those songs over a hundred times.

Why was there no crossover episode

oh that’s just superstition

What did he mean by this?

Rocketman was fantastic, and that Kingsman dude can really sing. He did a great job of Elton's tunes.

Unlike Bohemian Rhapsody it wasn't all that dumbed down for the sake of children and Americans.

they still have more biopics planned.

David Bowie biopic when

Bohemian Rhapsody is a biopic about musicians. Rocketman is a musical biopic. BR didn't have kid Freddie start singing "Bicycle Race" in 1958 when he got a bike for Christmas or whatever.

they apparently talked about having Malek cameo in Rocketman.

I mean Elton John certainly isn't. He probably did drugs but so did everyone else in music. You just don't hear crazy midget fucking type stories like with Freddie Mercury, and he didn't get AIDs. He just married some guy and lived a boring life.

I saw both. Rocketman was a fucking masterpiece. Bohemian Rhapsody was... less so. But Queen were more mainstream and they had Freddie's famous death from AIDs to sell it on.

tl:dr audiences are plebs

Elton John is still alive, simple as that. Bohemian Rhapsody was trash and fishface didn't make it any better

Elton John never drew a dime

Fun fact: Elton's thing is face sitting. There's a pic of him from a couple of years ago with pink eye in both eyes.

Rocketman was kino because they went all out with the musical aspect, though some of the songs are too short
BR is ok I guess, but the editing was downright distractingly bad. No idea how that shit won an editing Oscar.

He's worth half a billion. He's like Mariah in that respect. Never really a mainstream chart artist like Britney or Beyonce but richer with bigger album sales than both.

Gee whiz I can't wait for the next installment in the dead rock fags extended cinematic universe

My mate owns a fridge that used to belong to Elton John. It's a 1.3m by 1.3m mirrored cube. You push down on the top and the entire surface comes up on pneumatics revealing chiller compartments for bottles, and a small ice box. The top surface mirror is almost opaque from scratches and microscratches. Legend has it this "cube" was used by Elton for his cocaine and ice cream binges back in his wild days.

Was he actually singing? I just assumed it was dubbed

Now that musician biopics are the hottest thing who do you think they will do next?
I would love a pink floyd movie but as far as I know they didn’t really have any crazy drama like Elton John and Queen did

Was CIA in it?

They are working on a Madonna movie
But they will definitely do Bowie at some point

>Thunderstruck
>Back in Black
>Dirty Deeds
>You shook me all night long
They are normalfag as fuck

Social media influencers favor the mustache man from queen. Just look a Dr. Disrespect for example he's pretty much a parody of Fredrick. The only influencer I can think of who fuck with Elton John is Andy Milinokas. Nobody gives a fuck about Andy.

>They are working on a Madonna movie

Holy shit, make it R-Rated and by Refn and we have the biopic of the century.

What are you getting at exactly?

Social media influencers are what determine if a movie takes off, or bombs.

Well, both Elton really resonates with trannies

Cause every advertisement they put out made it look exactly like BR but gayer
Everyone JUST saw BR last year, theyre not gonna rush to see the same exact movie again. Also this Haven't seen a single "big" elton john fan that wasnt a decrepit granny. His name has no draw with moviegoers.

It should be specifically a Syd Barret biokino.

>a struggling musician sits at a divebar
>he looks at the bar patrons and starts writing a song
>Piano Man starts playing

kino

I liked him but thought the actual movie was complete shit. Wanted to walk out half way into it. Fucking melodrsmatic.

>only about three songs are famous
are you retarded

Based and redpilled

That the fuck are you takling about? Just because you don't remember Mariah on the charts doesn't mean it didn't happen.

elton john is irrelevant outside the west

>freddie mercury
yeah he is the one who sang bohemian rhapsody
>elton john
literally who?

Haha, my mom got btfo trying to watch this on theaters for it was lacking attendance

because my mom likes Freddie more than Elton

This would have worked around 1999-2000 when he was still relevant due to his Candle in the Wind take two performance in 1997. Nowadays he's just forgotten outside his fanbase

musician biopic fatigue set in FAST

the dude that plays rocketman actually sings pretty well and he sang all the songs

that said, the only reason i went to see this was because my gf and her gf wanted to see it; its very formulaic

>crazy drama
Roger is the fucking Godfather of band drama. Look up the history of The Wall.

>my gf and her gf

I honestly wish for more historical dramas like Amadeus. I know it was 100% fiction, but it's a god tier movie. That Beethoven movie from around ten years ago was ok, but I want more. I'm sure they could get something interesting with Bach.

He is though, it keeps coming out that he and his "husband" have all sorts of sex parties. He just hasnt caught the bug yet.

Rocketman was a boring musical with no point or story, Bohemian Rhapsody was an interesting story about an interesting guy, despite what was made up.

This is the movie we all need

Honestly, I was awed by how corny Bohemian Rhapsody. It's like they made it as "Hollywood" as possible. So weird.

I guess that's what people like...?
