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> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <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> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Read More<br> <br> <br> <br> Lady Gaga reflects on the ups and downs of her career...<br> <br> as Joker flops at box office<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <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> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <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> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <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> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Joaquin PhoenixLady Gaga<br> <br> <br> <br> Here is my homepage :: แบบดอกไม้งานศพ - http://old.amerit.org.mk/question/learn-how-to-make-your-discuss-look-amazing-in-5-days/
