That they hid it was a musical is my issue. Did no one learn from the Mean Girls musical? If people get to the show and are surprised with a genre they aren’t expecting, of course the film will suffer. Additionally, people who like musicals aren’t going to attend since they aren’t being advertised to
Unexpected genre also killed Brutal Legend. The commercials advertised it as an action-adventure game, but it’s actually an RTS. Action-adventure fans hated it, and RTS fans had no idea it was an RTS until it showed up on Steam four years later.
I hate musicals, thanks for the heads up
I don’t like old style musicals, but things like I Brother Where Art Thou are great.
That explains why all the scenes in the trailer were of people singing and dancing. Welp I dont care for most musicals. Especially The Sound of Music. Hate that film.

Everyone is entitled to their own (wrong) opinions.
It was announced to be a musical when it was first greenlit.
Sure, but I wasn’t paying attention to that and I think a lot of people weren’t either. The previews, while musical, seemed stylized and did not convey a strong sense that that is how the whole movie was going to be.
Not everything needs a sequel.
As somebody who hated that the first movie was so popular, I have the biggest grin on my face right now
It has its moments but I say it was just very overrated. I was worried about it because the first one came out at the height of violent incels idolizing the Joker. With that movie almost portraying him as a sympathetic villain I had concerns it may start to galvanize a few too many of those wackados
