Joker: Folie À Deux director Todd Phillips 'wanted nothing to <br> <br> do with DC' during making of the $200million flop film, <br> <br> a new report has claimed.<br> <br> <br> <br> The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film - stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga and was considered a surefire hit for <br> <br> Warner Bros Pictures - but was slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the <br> <br> box office.<br> <br> <br> <br> The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and 'ignoring' the DC fanbase - with an agent familiar with Phillips' process telling Variety he 'wanted nothing to do with <br> <br> DC' during the making of the film, with DC bosses James Gunn <br> <br> and Peter Safran notably absent from the film's LA premiere <br> <br> afterparty last month.<br> <br> <br> <br> A source said: 'If the first movie was about some down-on-his-luck, mentally ill guy in a <br> <br> downtrodden city, it makes maybe $150 [million] worldwide.<br> <br> <br> <br> Not a billion. People showed up because that guy was Joker.'<br> <br> <br> <br> In an apparent snub by Phillips, the opening sequence <br> <br> of the film does not include a DC Studios logo.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <b>On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31% and a critic score of 32%</b><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film - stars <br> <br> Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga - seen with Phillips last month <br> <br> - and was considered a surefire hit for Warners Bros Pictures - <br> <br> but was slammed by critics and failed to ignite at <br> <br> the box office <br> <br> <br> <br> A DC spokesman said Gunn was directing the Max series <br> <br> Peacemaker in Atlanta, which had lost a day of production due to Hurricane Helene, <br> <br> while Safran was sick. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Read More<br> <br> <br> <br> <u><strong>Joker: Folie À Deux is branded 'bleak' <br> <br> and the 'most disappointing follow-up' by critics</strong></u><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at the end of the Joker sequel.<br> <br> while Phillips declined to comment to the publication. <br> <br> <br> <br> Several frictions are said to have developed between Phillips, DC <br> <br> and Warner- with claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner Bros.<br> <br> Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed 'unwilling' to say no to Phillips due to his huge past successes.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> It is claimed Phillips would 'only' speak with DeLuca and Abdy rather than Gunn and Safran - who <br> <br> took control of DC two months before production began on Joker 2 in December 2022.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Gunn and Safran did attend the first director's cut screening for the studio <br> <br> but Phillips fueled rift speculation when he told a reporter: 'With all due <br> <br> respect to them, this is kind of a Warner Bros.<br> <br> movie.'<br> <br> <br> <br> Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also met <br> <br> with Phillips  shortly after WarnerMedia and Discovery merged in April <br> <br> 2022 and was 'open to filming in Los Angeles if the director <br> <br> would make the sequel at a lower price point.'<br> <br> <br> <br> <u><b>The studio wanted to film in London which would have cost around 20 per cent less.</b></u><br> <br> <br> <br> <i><u>However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with the <br> <br> budget remaining static. </u></i><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a <br> <br> musical and 'ignoring' the DC fanbase - with an agent familiar with Phillips' process telling Variety he 'wanted nothing to do with DC' during the making of the film, with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran notably absent from the film's LA premiere afterparty last month<br> <br> <br> <br>  A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio 'supported the decision to <br> <br> film in Los Angeles'.<br> <br> <br> <br> A source directly involved with the film said: 'No <br> <br> one could get through to Todd. And the one thing about genre stuff: If you don't listen and pay <br> <br> attention to what the fan expectations are, you're going to fail.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want to premiere the film at the Venice <br> <br> Film Festival, but Phillips pushed back - with a Warner spokesman saying the studio 'fully <br> <br> supported the decision to bring the film to Venice.<br> <br> <br> <br> Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history <br> <br> as the film bombed at the box office on opening night. <br> <br> <br> <br> <strong><u>It has only made $114million worldwide against its $200million budget. </u></strong><br> <br> <br> <br> The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as <br> <br> 'bleak' and 'disappointing' — officially released in theaters on Friday, October 4, <br> <br> but it only raked in $20 million at the domestic box office, <br> <br> per The Hollywood Reporter. <br> <br> <br> <br> Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel, which had earned him an Oscar for his portrayal in the 2019 film, while Gaga took on the role of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn). <br> <br> <br> <br> However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D <br> <br> rating on CinemaScore — the lowest score for a <br> <br> comic book movie. <br> <br> <br> <br> Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year and also received terrible reviews — holds a higher score with a <br> <br> C+.<br> <br> <br> <br> <u><b>On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31% and a <br> <br> critic score of 32%. </b></u><br> <br> <br> <br> The sequel is projected to rake in less that $50 million at <br> <br> the domestic box office during the entirety of opening weekend, <br> <br> per The Hollywood Reporter. <br> <br> <br> <br> Weeks ago, the movie had been projected to bring in around $70 million - but <br> <br> the number has since drastically dropped. <br> <br> <br> <br> Joker (2019) notably opened with $96.2 million when the film <br> <br> first released in theaters - and eventually <br> <br> landed a little over $1 billion in the global box office. <br> <br> <br> <br> The first movie - which was also directed by Todd Phillips - <br> <br> had a budget of between $55 and $70 million. However, the budget increased for Folie À Deux to around $200 million. <br> <br> <br> <br> The 2019 movie garnered praise and positive reviews from both critics <br> <br> and audiences - and won the Golden Lion during the 76th <br> <br> Venice International Film Festival. <br> <br> <br> <br> Joaquin received an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of the Joker (Arthur Fleck) - and <br> <br> the film garnered an additional Academy Award for Best Original <br> <br> Score. <br> <br> <br> <br> The sequel also screened during the Venice International Film Festival last <br> <br> month in September, where it earned a 12-minute standing ovation, per <br> <br> Deadline.   <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> A source directly involved with the film said: 'No one could get through to Todd.<br> <br> And the one thing about genre stuff: If you don't listen and pay <br> <br> attention to what the fan expectations are, you're going to fail.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released in theaters on Friday - and shared their <br> <br> opinions on the sequel, which features musical sequences. <br> <br> <br> <br> One fan penned, 'Joaquin Phoenix don't deserve this.<br> <br> what happened to the script?' while another added, 'is it that bad,' followed by a crying face emoji. <br> <br> <br> <br> 'Ironically I feel that a musical, if done well, could <br> <br> have been a good choice. It'd show how much of an unreliable narrator Fleck is,' one typed. <br> <br> <br> <br> 'But with some original songs, that keep everything <br> <br> vague, not just covers.

This was a gigantic mistake from step 1.' <br> <br> <br> <br> During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Phillips discussed whether he would be interested <br> <br> in making a third Joker film or a movie centered around Gaga's character. <br> <br> <br> <br> 'It's not really where this movie is headed for me. I feel like my time <br> <br> in the DC Universe was these two films.' <br> <br> <br> <br> Ahead of the movie's release, Lady Gaga also dropped an accompanying album titled Harlequin on September 27. <br> <br> <br> <br> Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the 'most disappointing follow-up to <br> <br> the Oscar-winning movie' by critics, as they cast doubt on Lady Gaga's 'thin' role in the film following its release on Friday. <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> 'That's way below what we expected,' one wrote in regards <br> <br> to the current Rotten Tomatoes scores.
