Joker Folie A Deux, madness of two

[Fero McPigletron]

Saw it. It was, well, it was that.

Would have been nice if it was more standalone but they kept referring to his kills in the first movies, which I barely remember.

There's small surprises but not really for comic book fans. Just two namedrops.

No extra scene at the end.

It's artistic. Folks might like that.

Not a fun movie for rewatching but it is meant to be deep and all that.

I guess NOBODY is really going to see this. I know I’m holding out for a home release, between cost concerns (I’ve gone to the actual theater, like 3 times this year, with MAYBE a couple more before next year) and the weak word of mouth.
Even your comments, Fero, don’t paint a sterling example of a film to pay theatrical pricing for.

And I guess a LOT of people feel that way. After a relatively soft $37 million opening weekend, the film’s second round saw a whopping 81.3% drop off to a weekend haul of just $7 million. And it did so as the WIDEST release available last weekend at 4102 locations.
It is guaranteed, at this stage with even optimistic drop offs, of failing to crack $100 million at the domestic box office.

There was something I missed at the ending of the movie tho. Had to see it in a spoiler review. I saw the scene but it didn't register in my head that something was happening in the back

Spoiler

that the guy was cutting his face, probably into a smile

Nothing will probably come of it anymore but, well, it's something.

From everything I've heard, it's a folly of a deuce, alright.

WB has announced that Joker 2 will be released on streaming platforms NEXT WEEK, October 29. After its third weekend, the film has continued to see some impressively precipitous drops, week to week. After the 80+% drop for its second weekend, last weekend saw a near 70% drop off to a measly $2 million return. It will be surprising if Joker 2 stays past the 5 week mark. With those declines, it is unlikely the film will break $60 million domestically.

With a reported budget in the neighborhood of $190 million, Joker 2 is joining the likes of Borderlands and Argyle as one of the biggest bombs of the year.

I thought Argyle was goofy fun, aw.

Another weekend, another 70% drop off!
It’s actually rather fascinating to see a film, a sequel to a massive hit, fizzle out so fast and so hard. At this rate, the disappointing Transformers One will out gross it by a million or so.

I heard that it didn't do so well and that those who saw it said the film was lesser then the first? I wasn't too invested in the first film though either.

Basically this film seems to intentionally jive on everything the majority of people loved about the first one. On top of being a musical that all promotional material did their damnedest to try and hide.

Eh, that doesn't seem too bad.

I mean, what's 70% of 0?
