As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast who has seen his fair share of cinematic triumphs and disasters alike, I must say that Joker: Folie à Deux left me more puzzled than entertained. The film’s disappointing performance at the box office and on digital platforms is reminiscent of a game with poor reviews and low player ratings—a bitter pill to swallow for both developers (Warner Bros.) and fans alike.
The film “Joker: Folie à Deux” received unfavorable feedback from both critics and viewers, resulting in a dismal 32% approval rating for each group. This essentially means that the movie was “spoiled” or “rotten.
Additionally, it received the lowest grade, a “D,” from CinemaScore, which is quite unusual for a superhero film; however, labeling Joker 2 as a superhero or comic book movie might be somewhat of an exaggeration.
Following a lackluster debut at the box office, the movie Joker: Folie à Deux experienced one of the sharpest decreases in ticket sales during its second week among superhero films ever recorded. On its second Friday alone, it earned only $2.2 million, representing an 89.1% drop compared to its opening day – one of the smallest second-weekend earnings for a DC movie in the 21st century.
By November 3, 2024, the movie had raked in a total of $204.7 million globally, with $58.2 million coming from North America and $146.5 million from other countries. However, with an estimated break-even point ranging from $375 million to $450 million, it’s anticipated that Warner Bros. could end up incurring losses of around $125–200 million.
Without much fanfare, the film swiftly transitioned to Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) a short while later, which is a typical choice for movies with poor box office earnings. Yet, it failed to thrive even in this format, managing only the fourth spot on both iTunes and Fandango’s charts. On iTunes, it lags behind titles like The Substance, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, while on Fandango, it ranks below The Wild Robot, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
