Amid tepid returns at the box office for Joker: Folie à <br>
<br>
Deux, a number of fans of the sequel took to social media over <br>
<br>
the weekend in defense of the sequel to Todd <br>
<br>
Phillips' 2019 motion picture.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The film, which sees Joaquin Phoenix return to the lead role of The Joker/Arthur Fleck, debuted to a paltry $40 million at the domestic box office,<br>
<br>
good enough for the weekend's top spot, but less than projections, and half that of its predecessor.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Amid the early returns, a number of fans took up for the <br>
<br>
movie and its cinematic depth, in breaking away from the cookie cutter nature of <br>
<br>
sequels to introduce a musical element not present in the first film, with <br>
<br>
Lady Gaga joining the franchise.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Joker 2 was amazing,' one user said, adding that it was '100% <br>
<br>
as divisive as people are making it out to be. I love that the film didn't try to be a traditional sequel,<br>
<br>
and fully committed to the storytelling they presented.<br>
<br>
It never deviated to be a film full of Easter eggs or any other <br>
<br>
crowd pleasing aspects.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Another user said, 'I kinda loved Joker 2. I loved how it was structured as <br>
<br>
a meta-exploration of the 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 <br>
<br>
fans of the sequel took to social media over the weekend in defense of the sequel to Todd Phillips' 2019 motion picture, <br>
<br>
starring Joaquin Phoenix<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One user marveled that Joker 2 is 'getting universal hate despite being more interesting and creative than anything <br>
<br>
marvel has done in years is expected.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A user said that 'Joker 2 is genuinely such a clever movie which <br>
<br>
carries the character study format of the first movie into the second in a way which,<br>
<br>
surprisingly, will floor you by the end. I'm astounded reception is <br>
<br>
this bad 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 opinions of moviegoers.<br>
<br>
<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 <br>
<br>
with audiences.<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 <br>
<br>
it. If you don't like musicals or 'art house' style films you probably won't like it because it's not made for you.<br>
<br>
The dynamic between Harley and Joker was brilliant and showcased the 'obsession' 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 <br>
<br>
to an Oscar-winning, billion-dollar film with the same creative team go wrong?<br>
<br>
Just three weeks ago, tracking services pegged the <br>
<br>
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 its cinematic <br>
<br>
depth, in breaking away from the cookie cutter nature of sequels to introduce a musical element 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 weeks with <br>
<br>
its Rotten Tomatoes score dropping from 63 percent at Venice <br>
<br>
to 33 percent by its first weekend in theaters. Perhaps even more surprising were the audience reviews:<br>
<br>
Ticket buyers polled on opening night gave the film a deadly D <br>
<br>
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 recover from,' <br>
<br>
said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'The biggest issue of all is the reported budget.<br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
the first film to produce, though reported figures vary at exactly how pricey it was to make.<br>
<br>
Phillips told Variety that it was less than the reported $200 million; Others have it pegged at <br>
<br>
$190 million. Warner Bros. released the film in 4,<br>
<br>
102 locations in North America. About 12.5 percent of its domestic <br>
<br>
total came from 415 IMAX screens.<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 weeks,<br>
<br>
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, <br>
<br>
which added $18.7 million in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total to nearly $64 <br>
<br>
million. Globally, it's made over $100 million. Warner Bros.' Beetlejuice <br>
<br>
Beetlejuice took third place in weekend five, Paramount's Transformers One landed in fourth and Universal <br>
<br>
and Blumhouse's Speak No Evil rounded out the top five.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The other big new release of the weekend, Lionsgate's White <br>
<br>
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 start is an unwelcome twist for theater owners <br>
<br>
hoping to narrow the box office deficit.<br>

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