Amid tepid returns at the box office for Joker: <br> <br> Folie à Deux, a number of fans of the sequel <br> <br> took to social media over the weekend in defense of <br> <br> the sequel to Todd 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 <br> <br> $40 million at the domestic box office, good enough for the weekend's <br> <br> top spot, but less than projections, and half that of its predecessor.<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 cutter nature <br> <br> of sequels to introduce a musical element not <br> <br> present in the first film, with Lady Gaga joining the franchise.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> 'Joker 2 was amazing,' one user said, adding that <br> <br> it was '100% as divisive as people are making it out to be.<br> <br> I love that the film didn't try to be a traditional sequel, and fully committed to the storytelling they presented.<br> <br> It never deviated to be a film full of Easter eggs 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 <br> <br> 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 took to social media over the <br> <br> weekend in defense of the sequel to Todd Phillips' 2019 <br> <br> motion picture, starring Joaquin Phoenix<br> <br> <br> <br> One user marveled that Joker 2 is 'getting universal <br> <br> hate despite being more interesting and creative than anything marvel has done <br> <br> in years is expected.'<br> <br> <br> <br> A user said that 'Joker 2 is genuinely such a clever movie which carries the character study <br> <br> format of the first movie into the second in a <br> <br> way which, surprisingly, will floor you by the end.<br> <br> <br> <br> I'm astounded reception is 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> <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 movie????????' one user said, while <br> <br> 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 <br> <br> of time with audiences.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'I may be one of ten people who genuinely liked <br> <br> the Joker 2. Remember me when society circles back <br> <br> 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 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> <br> <br> The dynamic between Harley and Joker was brilliant and showcased the 'obsession' that is key to that <br> <br> duo.' <br> <br> <br> <br> The movie's box office collapse was swift and has many in the industry wondering: How did the highly anticipated sequel to an Oscar-winning, billion-dollar film with the same <br> <br> creative team go wrong? Just three weeks ago, tracking <br> <br> services pegged the 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 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 joining the franchise <br> <br> <br> <br> Reviews were mixed out of the Venice Film Festival,<br> <br> where it premiered in competition like the first movie <br> <br> and even got a 12-minute standing ovation.<br> <br> <br> <br> But the homecoming glow was short-lived, and the fragile foundation would <br> <br> crumble in the coming weeks with its Rotten Tomatoes score dropping from 63 <br> <br> percent at Venice to 33 percent by its first weekend in theaters. Perhaps even more surprising were the audience reviews: Ticket buyers polled on opening night gave <br> <br> the film a deadly D CinemaScore. Exit polls from PostTrak weren't any better.<br> <br> <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> '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 the <br> <br> first film to produce, though reported figures vary at exactly how pricey it was to make.<br> <br> <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 <br> <br> locations in North America. About 12.5 percent of its domestic total came from 415 IMAX screens.<br> <br> <br> <br> <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, Joker <br> <br> 2 will also open in Japan and China.<br> <br> <br> <br> Second place went to Universal and DreamWorks Animation's The Wild Robot, which added <br> <br> $18.7 million in its second weekend, bringing its <br> <br> domestic total to nearly $64 million. Globally, it's <br> <br> made over $100 million. Warner Bros.' Beetlejuice Beetlejuice  took third place in weekend five, Paramount's Transformers One <br> <br> landed in fourth and Universal and Blumhouse's Speak No <br> <br> Evil rounded out the top five.<br> <br> <br> <br> The other big new release of the weekend, Lionsgate's White Bird, <br> <br> flopped with just $1.5 million from just over 1,000 locations, despite <br> <br> 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 hoping to narrow <br> <br> 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, some who posit <br> <br> that it was deliberately alienating fans of the first <br> <br> 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.<br> <br> The sequel added Lady Gaga into the fold , as a Joker superfan, and delved further into the <br> <br> mind of Arthur Fleck, imprisoned at Arkham and awaiting trial for <br> <br> the murders 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> The sequel has already been the subject of many think pieces, some who <br> <br> posit that it was deliberately alienating fans of the first movie.<br> <br> <br> <br> In cruder terms, it´s been called a 'middle finger.' But fans often ignore the advice of critics, <br> <br> especially when it comes to opening their wallets <br> <br> to see revered 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 <br> <br> to want to know what they´re getting when they´re going to <br> <br> the theater. They want the tried and true, 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,' he wrote on Saturday.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The first film was also divisive and the subject of much discourse, then about whether it might send <br> <br> the wrong message to the wrong type of person. And yet people still <br> <br> flocked to see what the fuss was about. Joker went <br> <br> on to pick up 11 Oscar nominations, including best picture and best director, and three wins.<br> <br> 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. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore.<br> <br> <br> <br> Final domestic figures will be released Monday. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Joaquin PhoenixLady Gaga<br> <br> <br> <br> Look into my web blog ... ข้อความบนพวงหรีด ( oliviath.com - <br> <br> https://oliviath.com/%E0%B8%82%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A1%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%A7%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%A2-%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B5%E0%B8%94/ )
