Woman Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix aren’t sufficient on their very own to make the ‘Joker’ sequel a success … and the early returns are something however promising.
“Joker: Folie à Deux” is stumbling out of the gate … making solely $20 million on the home field workplace Friday, and that is not even the worst half.
The Todd Phillips-led film is clearly bombing with moviegoers … incomes a “D” grade on CinemaScore. It is a file, albeit a foul one … the bottom CinemaScore grade ever given to a comic book e-book film. Sure — decrease than “Madame Web.”
Rotten Tomatoes is not laughing with ‘Joker 2’ both … giving the film a 32% critic rating, which is only a tick above the movie’s 31% viewers rating. Splat.
Joaquin gained an Oscar for the primary go-round, however this flick combines a love story with a musical … it is not going over properly, and folk are ripping it to shreds on-line.
Projections for the opening weekend field workplace are sitting under $50 million … price noting as a result of the funds was reportedly $200 million, an enormous improve from the $65 million wanted to make the primary movie.
Win some, lose some, we suppose. 🤷🏽♂️
