The film “Joker: Folie à Deux“, a sequel to the acclaimed “Joker” from 2019, was recently released but did not perform as expected at the box office, with only 32% approval on Rotten Tomatoes.
The negative reception led many viewers to leave the theaters dissatisfied, resulting in a gross of only $51.5 million in the United States and $165 million globally in the first two weeks.
With an estimated production cost of $200 million and an additional $100 million for marketing, Warner Bros faces significant financial difficulties due to the film’s failure. Projections indicate it may reach around $65 million in the U.S. and $210 to $215 million worldwide before leaving theaters, which still wouldn’t be enough to cover the investments.
While most users on social media express their dissatisfaction with the sequel, one critic pointed out that although it may not appeal to everyone, the film can be enjoyed by those who can immerse themselves in the story, praising the performance as phenomenal.
