Amid tepid returns at the box office for Joker:<br> <br> Folie à Deux, a number of fans of the sequel took to social media over the <br> <br> 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 <br> <br> role of The Joker/Arthur Fleck, debuted to a paltry $40 million at the <br> <br> domestic box office, good enough for the 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 <br> <br> the movie and its cinematic depth, in breaking away <br> <br> from the cookie cutter nature of sequels to introduce a musical element not present in the first <br> <br> film, with Lady Gaga joining the franchise.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'Joker 2 was amazing,' one user said, adding that it was '100% as divisive as <br> <br> people are making it out to be. I love that the film didn't try to <br> <br> be a traditional sequel, and fully committed to the <br> <br> storytelling they presented. It never deviated to be a film full of Easter eggs <br> <br> or any other crowd pleasing aspects.'<br> <br> <br> <br> Another user said, 'I kinda loved Joker 2. I loved how it was structured as 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 fans of the sequel <br> <br> took to social media over the weekend in defense of the <br> <br> sequel to Todd Phillips' 2019 motion picture, starring Joaquin Phoenix<br> <br> <br> <br> One user marveled that Joker 2 is 'getting <br> <br> universal hate despite being more interesting and creative than anything marvel has done in years is expected.'<br> <br> <br> <br> A user said that 'Joker 2 is genuinely such a clever movie which carries <br> <br> the character study format of the first movie into the second in a way which, surprisingly, will floor you by the end.<br> <br> <br> <br> I'm astounded reception is this bad because this is <br> <br> 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... 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 <br> <br> same movie????????' one user said, while another said the hate for the <br> <br> film is 'so unjustified.'<br> <br> <br> <br> One fan predicted that the motion picture with stand <br> <br> the test of time 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 <br> <br> 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 <br> <br> musicals or 'art house' style films you probably won't <br> <br> like it because it's not made for you. 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 <br> <br> and has many in the industry 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 the movie for <br> <br> a $70 million debut, which would still have been down a fair amount <br> <br> 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 <br> <br> 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 depth, in breaking away from the cookie <br> <br> cutter nature of sequels to introduce a musical element not present in the first film, with Lady Gaga <br> <br> joining the franchise <br> <br> <br> <br> Reviews were mixed out of the Venice Film Festival, where it premiered in competition like the first <br> <br> movie and even got a 12-minute standing ovation.<br> <br> <br> <br> But the homecoming glow was short-lived, and the <br> <br> 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 first <br> <br> 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 CinemaScore.<br> <br> Exit polls from PostTrak weren't any better. It <br> <br> got a meager half star out of five possible.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> 'That´s a double whammy that´s very difficult to recover from,' said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore.<br> <br> 'The biggest issue of all is the reported budget. A $40 or $50 <br> <br> million opening for a less expensive movie would be a solid debut.'<br> <br> <br> <br> Joker: Folie à Deux cost at least twice as much as the <br> <br> 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 <br> <br> at $190 million. Warner Bros. released the film in 4,102 locations <br> <br> in North America. About 12.5 percent of its domestic total <br> <br> came from 415 IMAX screens.<br> <br> <br> <br> Internationally, it's earned $81.1 million from 25,788 screens, bringing <br> <br> 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 million. Globally, it's made over $100 million. <br> <br> Warner Bros.' Beetlejuice Beetlejuice  took third place <br> <br> in weekend five, Paramount's Transformers One landed in fourth <br> <br> and Universal and Blumhouse's Speak No Evil rounded out the top <br> <br> five.<br> <br> <br> <br> The other big new release of the weekend, Lionsgate's White Bird, flopped with just $1.5 million from <br> <br> just over 1,000 locations, 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 <br> <br> twist for theater owners 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> <br> <br> The sequel has already been the subject of many think pieces, some <br> <br> 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 <br> <br> as 'audacious' as the first film. The sequel added Lady Gaga into the fold , as a Joker superfan, and delved further into the mind of Arthur Fleck, imprisoned at Arkham and awaiting trial for the murders <br> <br> he committed in the first. It´s also a musical, with elaborately imagined song and dance numbers to old standards.<br> <br> Gaga even released a companion album called ''Harlequin,' alongside the film.<br> <br> <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 fans of the first movie.<br> <br> 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 <br> <br> 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 <br> <br> know 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 idea to make the Joker sequel a musical.<br> <br> 'No fan of the original movie wanted to see a musical sequel,' he wrote on Saturday.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The first film was also divisive and the subject of much <br> <br> discourse, then about whether it might send <br> <br> the wrong message to the wrong type of person. And yet <br> <br> people still flocked to see what the fuss was about.<br> <br> Joker went on to pick up 11 Oscar nominations,<br> <br> including best picture and best director, and three wins.<br> <br> It also made over $1 billion and was the highest-grossing <br> <br> R-rated film of all time, until this summer when Marvel's Deadpool & Wolverine took the crown.<br> <br> <br> <br> Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at <br> <br> U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore.<br> <br> Final domestic figures will be released Monday. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Joaquin PhoenixLady Gaga<br> <br> <br> <br> My homepage: พวงหรีดใกล้ฉัน - http://WWW.God123.xyz/home.php?mod=space&uid=1102009&do=profile
