Joker: Folie À Deux — starring Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix — has <br>
<br>
garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history as the film bombed at the box office on opening night. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as 'bleak' and 'disappointing' — officially <br>
<br>
released in theaters on Friday, October 4, 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 <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>

However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating <br>
<br>
on CinemaScore — the lowest score for a comic book movie. <br>

Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier <br>
<br>
this year and also received terrible reviews — holds a higher score with <br>

Joker: Folie À Deux is branded 'bleak' and the 'most disappointing follow-up' by <br>
<br>
critics<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Weeks ago, the movie had been projected to bring in around $70 million - 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 <br>
<br>
a little over $1 billion in the global box office. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The first movie - which was also directed by Todd Phillips - had a budget of between $55 and $70 million. However, the budget increased for Folie À Deux to around $200 <br>
<br>
million. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The 2019 movie garnered praise and positive reviews from both critics and audiences - and won the Golden Lion during the 76th Venice International 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 <br>
<br>
Film Festival last month in September, where it earned a 12-minute <br>
<br>
standing ovation, per Deadline. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience <br>

However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released in theaters on Friday - and shared their opinions on the sequel,<br>
<br>
which features 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, <br>
<br>
could have been a good choice. It'd show how much of an unreliable <br>
<br>
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>
A social media user wrote, 'Stop making sequels as musicals if the original wasn't a musical.' <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 penned. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Joker downfall really needs to be studied,' another shared, <br>
<br>
along with a monkey staring out a window. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One fan said, 'the movie sucks. i had to walk <br>
<br>
out of the cinema,' while another penned, 'After years of disagreement....*Joker 2 releases* Critics [shaking hands] Audience.' <br>

'That's way below what we expected,' one wrote in regards to the current Rotten Tomatoes <br>
<br>
scores. 'People are saying this is the worst sequel <br>
<br>
ever.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A fan explained, 'yea this film was bad. it was pretentious and <br>
<br>
dull. has the aesthetic of an arthouse film without the substance.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'It also insults the audience's intelligence. the songs were also underwhelming too.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
they shouldn't have let this escape to theaters.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One shared, 'The audience that loved the first movie is not the same <br>
<br>
audience running to see musicals. 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 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.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I feel like my time 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 <br>
<br>
27. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the 'most <br>
<br>
disappointing follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie' by critics,<br>
<br>
as they cast doubt on Lady Gaga's 'thin' role in the film following its release on Friday. <br>

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

<br>
<br>
<br>
The 'bleak' sequel, has also received a tepid reception from fans, with some claiming <br>
<br>
Lady Gaga's career could be at risk.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
While the same director Todd Phillips was back in the <br>
<br>
hot seat, critics have said the sequel is just a <br>
<br>
'repeat' of the first hit but with an added musical twist.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Most critics have said Todd failed to use <br>
<br>
Gaga correctly in the movie and claimed she was only bought in for <br>
<br>
the musical aspect of it.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
While the majority of critics say Joker: Folie À Deux didn't live up to <br>
<br>
expectations, others have dubbed the movie 'bold' and 'brilliant.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Daily Mail's Brian Viner commended the move as 'bold' and 'brilliant' but <br>
<br>
said it lacked any thrill. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Independent's Geoffrey Macnab said: 'Today <br>
<br>
Joker is best remembered as one of the most subversive and original films of the last decade, while its hugely anticipated sequel is just as bleak <br>
<br>
and formally daring as its predecessor'.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, the Irish Times' Donald Clarke gave <br>
<br>
the movie just two stars but credited Phillips' work for making a sequel following the <br>
<br>
first movie's $1billion success.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Financial Times critic Danny Leigh said although Gaga worked hard to bump the ratings up in the sequel, Phillips <br>
<br>
appeared to have no idea what to do with her. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Giving a three star rating, The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw claimed the movie proves 'claustrophobic' and 'repetitive.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Phillips <br>
<br>
discussed whether he would be interested in making a <br>
<br>
third Joker film or a movie centered around Gaga's character; Phillips, Gaga and Phoenix seen in September in L.A. <br>

Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the 'most disappointing follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie' <br>
<br>
by critics, as they cast doubt on Lady Gaga's 'thin' role <br>
<br>
in the film following its release on Friday; seen in September in London <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Times' Kevin Maher wrote: 'The director Todd Phillips <br>
<br>
said there would be no follow-up to the original, <br>
<br>
but he changed his mind and the result is a <br>
<br>
derivative musical'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'This might be the most disappointing follow-up to an Oscar-winning performance since Anthony Hopkins <br>
<br>
reworked his silky and terrifying Dr Lecter from for the campy, kitschy.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Along with Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, other stars that had appeared in the sequel include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Zazie Beatz <br>
<br>
and Steve Coogan. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joker: Folie à Deux has faced additional backlash from fans as <br>
<br>
they have claimed that Gaga is running the risk of losing her acting career. <br>
