Movie musicals seems to be a tough sell nowadays

Responses:

I just feel like it's hard to port the product. Nothing matches live theatre. A great musical makes a mediocre movie at best. -- nm - amandaphone Dec 4, 19:47
also released just as theaters were only first reopening after COVID -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 4, 15:49 3
- "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It" (whatever THAT is) opened the weekend prior with over 2X the box opening week. - ty97 Dec 4, 15:55 2
  - (third in the successful Conjuring horror series) -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 4, 15:56 1
    - ok but by the same logic "from the creator of Hamilton" should do something as well. -- nm - mafic Dec 4, 17:37
that was a good picture, too long though -- nm - mud Dec 4, 15:47 2
- I tried to watch it with my brother and mother. Less than 10 minutes in, they paused it and asked "do they sing the whole time?" - ty97 Dec 4, 15:49 1
  - ./~ Good MORning, Usnavi!! ./~ -- nm - Jimmy Smits Dec 4, 16:08
Also, as the comments point out, this isn't new. Sweeney Todd did it all the way back in 2007 -- nm - ty97 Dec 4, 15:46
