inside jamari fox inside jamari fox - taking you real deep
ya’ll seen lady gaga lately?
she wants that damn oscar.
so i asked the foxhole about “a star is born” on my ig stories the other day.
i asked if it was worth the hype.
i got a ton of replies that it wasn’t.
honestly,
i’m not really rushing to watch it either.
well it seems this movie has taken down whitney houston.
this is what i saw on twitter…
According to data from Box Office Mojo, The Bodyguard earned $411 million during its theatrical run, while A Star Is Born is up to $413.6 million. A Star Is Born is also still in theaters, so it is bound to add to that total. That said, it’s important to note that these stats don’t take inflation into account: $411 million from 1992 would be worth about $735.6 million in 2019.
A Star Is Born still has a long way to go if it wants to surpass The Bodyguard musically, though. While “Shallow” has certainly done very well, Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” and “I Have Nothing” are legendary songs, and the soundtrack is the best-selling one of all time, with over 45 million copies sold worldwide.
i mean,
something had to come along and surpass it.
as the world moves,
and the years go on,
so does other legacies.
who knew it’d be lady gaga?
the oscar nominated actress.
i haven’t heard one song from “a star is born”.
apparently,
this is the “iconic” song from that movie:
…but i do know this:
i’ll think the latter is superior.
lowkey: it’s funny how it looked like gaga was over.
she had to take a step back and get it together.
