Joker: Folie À Deux — starring Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix — may have bombed at the box office, but the name behind the new flick is a <br>
<br>
perfect fit that nails its darkly playful tone. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<strong><u>Folie À Deux directly translates to madness for two. </u></strong><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The term means 'the presence of the same or similar delusional ideas in two persons closely associated with one another',<br>
<br>
According to Merriam-Webster. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
And while the name is a stroke of clever ingenuity, the film itself <br>
<br>
might leave audiences feeling more bewildered than entertained. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The new flick has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history <br>
<br>
as it bombed at the box office on opening night. <br>

The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as 'bleak' <br>
<br>
and 'disappointing' — officially released in theaters <br>
<br>
on Friday, October 4, but it only raked in $20 million at the domestic box <br>
<br>
office, per The Hollywood Reporter. <br>

<b>Joker: Folie À Deux is branded 'bleak' and the 'most disappointing follow-up' by critics</b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joaquin reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel, which had earned him <br>
<br>
an Oscar for his portrayal in the 2019 film, while Gaga <br>
<br>
took on the role of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn). <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore — the lowest <br>
<br>
score for a comic book movie at the time of writing. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier <br>
<br>
this year and also received terrible reviews — holds a higher score with a C+. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31 percent and a critic score of 33 <br>
<br>
percent. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The sequel is projected to rake in less that $50 million at the domestic box <br>
<br>
office during the entirety of opening weekend, per The Hollywood Reporter. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The movie had been projected to bring in around $70 million - <br>
<br>
but the number has since drastically dropped. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joker (2019) notably opened with $96.2 million when the film first released in theaters - and eventually landed a little over $1 billion in the global box office. <br>

The first movie - which was also directed by Todd Phillips <br>
<br>
- had a budget of between $55 and $70 million. However,<br>
<br>
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 and audiences <br>
<br>
- and won the Golden Lion during the 76th Venice International <br>
<br>
Film Festival. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joaquin received an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of the Joker (Arthur Fleck) - and the film garnered an additional Academy Award for Best Original 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 Deadline. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released in theaters on Friday <br>
<br>
- and shared their opinions on the sequel, which features <br>
<br>
musical sequences. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One fan penned, 'Joaquin Phoenix don't deserve <br>
<br>
this. what happened to the script?' while another added,<br>
<br>
'is it that bad,' followed by a crying face emoji. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Ironically I feel that a musical, if done well, could have <br>
<br>
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 vague, not just covers.<br>
<br>
Also when I heard of the ending I snorted fr.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<strong>A social media user wrote, 'Stop making sequels as musicals if the original wasn't a musical.' </strong><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Maybe he [Phillips] only had an hour long movie, and decided to <br>
<br>
randomly add musical scenes to fill the runtime,' one <br>
<br>
penned. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Joker downfall really needs to be studied,' another shared, along <br>
<br>
with a monkey staring out a window. <br>

to the current Rotten Tomatoes scores. 'People are saying this is the worst sequel ever.' <br>

A fan explained, 'yea this film was bad. it was pretentious and dull.<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
'It also insults the audience's intelligence.<br>

the songs were also underwhelming too. they shouldn't have let this escape to theaters.' <br>

One shared, 'The audience that loved the first movie is not the same audience running to see <br>

musicals. This was a gigantic mistake from step 1.' <br>

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Phillips discussed whether he <br>

would be interested in making a third Joker film or a movie centered around Gaga's character. <br>

<br>
'It's not really where this movie is headed for me.<br>
