Amid tepid returns at the box office for Joker: Folie à Deux, a number of fans of the sequel took to <br>
<br>
social media over the weekend in defense of the sequel to Todd Phillips' 2019 motion picture.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The film, which sees Joaquin Phoenix return to the lead role of The Joker/Arthur Fleck, <br>
<br>
debuted to a paltry $40 million at the domestic box office, good enough for the <br>
<br>
weekend's top spot, but less than projections, and half <br>
<br>
that of its predecessor.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Amid the early returns, a number of fans took up for the movie and its cinematic depth, in breaking <br>
<br>
away from the cookie cutter nature of sequels to introduce a musical <br>
<br>
element not present in the first film, with Lady Gaga joining the franchise.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Joker 2 was amazing,' one user said, adding that it was '100% as divisive <br>
<br>
as people are making it out to be. I love that the film didn't try to be a traditional <br>
<br>
sequel, and fully committed to the storytelling <br>
<br>
they presented. It never deviated to be a film full of Easter eggs or any other crowd pleasing aspects.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Another user said, 'I kinda loved Joker 2.<br>
<br>
I loved how it was structured as a meta-exploration of the <br>
<br>
first film's fandom and the musical elements were a lot of fun.'<br>

Amid tepid returns at the box office for Joker: Folie à Deux, a number of fans of the sequel took to <br>
<br>
social media over the weekend in defense of the sequel to Todd Phillips' 2019 motion picture, starring Joaquin Phoenix<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One user marveled that Joker 2 is 'getting universal hate despite being <br>
<br>
more interesting and creative than anything marvel has done in years <br>
<br>
is expected.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A user said that 'Joker 2 is genuinely such <br>
<br>
a clever movie which carries the character study format of the first movie <br>
<br>
into the second in a way which, surprisingly, <br>
<br>
will floor you by the end. I'm astounded reception is this bad <br>
<br>
because this is SUCH a clever movie'<br>

Some users said that the bad word-of-mouth the film was suffering from was impacting the <br>
<br>
opinions of moviegoers.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'The Joker 2 hate is so forced like did we watched the same <br>
<br>
movie????????' one user said, while another said the hate for the film is 'so unjustified.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One fan predicted that the motion picture with stand the test of time with audiences.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'I may be one of ten people who genuinely liked the Joker 2.<br>
<br>
Remember me when society circles back to it in 10 years and says its a masterpiece,' said the user.<br>
<br>
'The world just wasn't ready for it yet.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Said one user: 'I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. If you don't like musicals or 'art house' style films you probably <br>
<br>
won't like it because it's not made for you. The dynamic between Harley and Joker was brilliant and showcased the 'obsession' <br>
<br>
that is key to that duo.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The movie's box office collapse was swift and has many in the industry <br>
<br>
wondering: How did the highly anticipated sequel to an Oscar-winning, <br>
<br>
billion-dollar film with the same creative team go wrong?<br>
<br>
Just three weeks ago, tracking services pegged <br>
<br>
the movie for a $70 million debut, which would still have been down a fair <br>
<br>
amount from Joker's record-breaking $96.2 million launch in October 2019. <br>

A number of fans took to social media to defend the controversial sequel<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Amid the early returns, a number of fans took up for the movie and <br>
<br>
its cinematic depth, in breaking away from the cookie cutter nature of sequels to introduce a musical element <br>
<br>
not present in the first film, with Lady Gaga joining the franchise <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Reviews were mixed out of the Venice Film Festival, where it premiered in competition like the <br>
<br>
first movie and even got a 12-minute standing ovation.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But the homecoming glow was short-lived, and the fragile foundation would crumble in the coming <br>
<br>
weeks with its Rotten Tomatoes score dropping from 63 percent at Venice to 33 percent by its <br>
<br>
first weekend in theaters. Perhaps even more surprising were the audience reviews:<br>
<br>
Ticket buyers polled on opening night gave the film a <br>
<br>
deadly D CinemaScore. Exit polls from PostTrak weren't any better.<br>
<br>
It got a meager half star out of five possible.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'That´s a double whammy that´s very difficult to <br>
<br>
recover from,' said Paul Dergarabedian, <br>
<br>
the senior media analyst for Comscore. 'The biggest issue of <br>
<br>
all is the reported budget. A $40 or $50 million opening for a less expensive movie would be <br>
<br>
a solid debut.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joker: Folie à Deux cost at least twice as much as the first film to produce, <br>
<br>
though reported figures vary at exactly how pricey it was to make.<br>
<br>
Phillips told Variety that it was less than the <br>
<br>
reported $200 million; Others have it pegged at $190 <br>
<br>
million. Warner Bros. released the film in 4,102 locations in North America.<br>
<br>
About 12.5 percent of its domestic total came from 415 IMAX screens.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Internationally, it's earned $81.1 million from 25,788 screens, bringing its total global earnings estimate to $121.1 million. In the next two <br>
<br>
weeks, Joker 2 will also open in Japan and China.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Second place went to Universal and DreamWorks Animation's The Wild Robot, which added $18.7 million in its <br>
<br>
second weekend, bringing its domestic total to <br>
<br>
nearly $64 million. Globally, it's made over $100 million. Warner Bros.' <br>
<br>
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice took third place in weekend five, Paramount's Transformers One landed in fourth <br>
<br>
and Universal and Blumhouse's Speak No Evil rounded out the top five.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The other big new release of the weekend, Lionsgate's White Bird, flopped with just $1.5 million from just over 1,000 locations, <br>
<br>
despite an A+ CinemaScore.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Overall, the weekend is up from the same frame last year, but Joker's <br>
<br>
start is an unwelcome twist for theater owners hoping <br>
<br>
to narrow the box office deficit.<br>

The sequel has already been the subject of many think <br>
<br>
pieces, some who posit that it was deliberately alienating fans of the first movie<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Phillips and star Joaquin Phoenix have said they aspired to make something as 'audacious' as the first film.<br>
<br>
The sequel added Lady Gaga into the fold , as a Joker superfan, and <br>
<br>
delved further into the mind of Arthur Fleck, imprisoned <br>
<br>
at Arkham and awaiting trial for the murders he committed <br>
<br>
in the first. It´s also a musical, with elaborately imagined song and dance numbers <br>
<br>
to old standards. Gaga even released a companion album called ''Harlequin,' <br>
<br>
alongside the film.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The sequel has already been the subject of many think pieces, some who posit that it was deliberately alienating <br>
<br>
fans of the first movie. In cruder terms, it´s been called a 'middle finger.' But fans often ignore the advice of critics, especially when it comes to opening their wallets to see revered comic book characters on the big screen.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'They took a swing for the fences,' Dergarabedian said.<br>
<br>
'But except for a couple of outliers, audiences in 2024 seem to want to know <br>
<br>
what they´re getting when they´re going to the theater.<br>
<br>
They want the tried and true, the familiar.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Deadline editor Anthony D´Alessandro thinks the problem started with the <br>
<br>
idea to make the Joker sequel a musical.<br>
<br>
'No fan of the original movie wanted to see a musical sequel,' he <br>
<br>
wrote on Saturday.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The first film was also divisive and the subject of much discourse, then about whether it might send the wrong message <br>
<br>
to the wrong type of person. And yet people still flocked to see what <br>
<br>
the fuss was about. Joker went on to pick up 11 Oscar nominations, including best picture and best director, and <br>
<br>
three wins. It also made over $1 billion and was the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, until this summer when Marvel's Deadpool & Wolverine <br>
<br>
took the crown.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S.<br>
<br>
and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore.<br>
<br>
Final domestic figures will be released Monday. <br>
