$200 Million 'Joker' Sequel Is a Box Office Bust.
News
The highly anticipated musical sequel, "Joker: Folie à Deux," starring Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, fell short of industry projections during its opening weekend, grossing only $40 million at the domestic box office. This is significantly lower than the original "Joker," which earned nearly $100 million in its opening weekend and went on to gross over $1 billion globally. With a production budget of $200 million, more than three times the cost of the original, the sequel is considered a critical and financial disappointment for Warner Bros. Discovery. Critics were unimpressed by the film, describing it as a "dour, unpleasant slog." [Extracted from the article]
