Is Joker 2 a Box Office Bomb?
In September 4, 2024, during its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, the anticipated musical sequel to the 2019 blockbuster “Joker”, titled “Joker: Folie à Deux“, was unveiled. Interestingly, it hit the big screens one month later. Analysts predicted that its domestic opening weekend could earn over $100 million, with some speculating as high as $140 million. If these projections had been accurate, “Joker: Folie à Deux” would have shattered October’s box-office record, which was previously held by the original film with a $96.2 million domestic opening. This sequel also had potential to become the first R-rated movie to surpass the $1 billion mark globally and secure 11 Academy Award nominations.
