RAMROD 104,144 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 (edited) After collapsing in its opening weekend, and then being all but eviscerated in its sophomore frame, Joker: Folie à Deux witnessed a further drop in revenue as it entered only its third week in theaters on the verge of a premature debut on digital streaming platforms. The big-budget sequel to 2019’s blockbuster Joker grossed just over $2 million domestically this weekend, and it didn’t fare much better in overseas markets either, despite opening in China. The film generated under $15 million from international territories this weekend, as it neared perhaps its final global milestone. With just $56 million domestically and another $135 million from international markets, Joker: Folie à Deux’s cumulative global haul now stands at $192 million. While it’ll likely pass the $200 million milestone by the end of its run, it isn’t going to make much more than that. This is a shockingly poor result for the direct sequel to a movie that not only made $1 billion worldwide but was also popular during the awards season. Joker won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and earned star Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar for his central performance as a mentally ill outcast in a 1980s Gotham City inspired by the films of Martin Scorsese. The first Joker had a notoriously difficult production, with director Todd Phillips having been restricted to a reported budget of around $60 million by Warner Bros. He was granted a reported $200 million budget for Joker: Folie à Deux, which also premiered at Venice, but to significantly more muted response. But if the reviews were lukewarm, the audience was positively simmering with anger upon its commercial release. Joker: Folie à Deux earned an unprecedented D CinemaScore from opening day crowds, and appears to have settled at a “rotten” 32% approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. While the $200 million mark is an exciting prospect, the movie is never going to achieve profitability at the box office. Streaming and digital releases will lessen the bleeding somewhat, but a $200 million budget is simply too much to overcome for a movie that was this poorly received. Hollywood movies typically require a box office take of approximately twice the budget to see profit after marketing expenditures and theaters take their cuts. By that metric, the enormous Joker 2 budgetwould mean it needs at least $400 million worldwide. The terrible reviews will not help it get there. https://collider.com/joker-2-global-box-office-192-million/ https://screenrant.com/joker-2-box-office-global-milestone-200-million/ Edited October 28 by RAMROD (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ 𝘞𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 17 (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its apples to oranges also it had a buget of $200M. If it runs a loss... thats literally by itself already unssuccessful 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so embarrassing. I suggest reading comprehension for both of you. "IT is a great gross for a musical,,," And that's true for any musical in general, when you don't look at the budget. Never said anything delusional here. Edited October 28 by JustTea 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
