Joker: Folie À Deux — starring Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix — has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history as the film bombed at the box office on opening <br>
<br>
night. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as <br>
<br>
'bleak' and 'disappointing' — officially released <br>
<br>
in theaters on Friday, October 4, but it only raked in $20 million at the domestic box office, 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 <br>
<br>
of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn). <br>
<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>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters <br>
<br>
earlier this year and also received terrible reviews <br>
<br>
— holds a higher score with a C+. <br>

Joker: Folie À Deux is branded 'bleak' and <br>
<br>
the 'most disappointing follow-up' by 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 <br>
<br>
drastically dropped. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joker (2019) notably opened with $96.2 million when the film first <br>
<br>
released in theaters - and eventually 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 - 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 <br>
<br>
of the Joker (Arthur Fleck) - and the film garnered an additional Academy Award for Best <br>
<br>
Original Score. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The sequel also screened during the Venice International Film <br>
<br>
Festival last month in September, where it earned a 12-minute standing <br>
<br>
ovation, per Deadline. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>

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

However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie <br>
<br>
released in theaters on Friday - and shared their opinions <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
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 narrator Fleck is,' one typed. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'But with some original songs, that keep everything vague, not just covers.<br>
<br>
<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 <br>
<br>
original wasn't a musical.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Maybe he [Phillips] only had an hour long movie, and decided to randomly add musical scenes to fill the runtime,' one penned. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Joker downfall really needs to be studied,' another shared, along with a monkey staring out a window. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One fan said, 'the movie sucks. i had to walk out of the cinema,' while another penned, 'After years of disagreement....*Joker <br>
<br>

current Rotten Tomatoes scores. 'People are saying this is <br>
<br>
the worst sequel 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 <br>
<br>
songs were also underwhelming too. they shouldn't <br>
<br>
have let this escape to theaters.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One shared, 'The audience that loved the first movie is not <br>
<br>
the same audience running to see musicals. This was a gigantic mistake <br>
<br>
from step 1.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Phillips <br>
<br>
discussed whether he would be interested in making a third Joker film or <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
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 disappointing follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie' by critics, as they cast <br>
<br>
doubt on Lady Gaga's 'thin' role in the film following <br>
<br>
its release on Friday. <br>

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

<br>
<br>
The 'bleak' sequel, has also received a tepid reception from fans, with some claiming Lady Gaga's career could be at <br>
<br>
risk.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
While the same director Todd Phillips was back <br>
<br>
in the hot seat, critics have said the sequel is <br>
<br>
just a '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 Gaga correctly <br>
<br>
in the movie and claimed she was only bought in for the musical aspect of <br>
<br>
it.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
While the majority of critics say Joker: Folie À Deux didn't <br>
<br>
live up to 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 Joker is best <br>
<br>
remembered as one of the most subversive and original films <br>
<br>
of the last decade, while its hugely anticipated <br>
<br>
sequel is just as bleak and formally daring as its predecessor'.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, the Irish Times' Donald Clarke gave the movie just two stars but credited Phillips' work for making <br>
<br>
a sequel following the first movie's $1billion success.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Financial Times critic Danny Leigh said although Gaga worked hard to bump <br>
<br>
the ratings up in the sequel, Phillips appeared to have <br>
<br>
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 discussed whether he would be interested in making a third <br>

Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the 'most disappointing follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie' by critics, as they cast doubt on Lady <br>
<br>
Gaga's 'thin' role 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 said there would <br>
<br>
be no follow-up to the original, 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 reworked his silky and <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener,<br>
<br>
Zazie Beatz and Steve Coogan. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joker: Folie à Deux has faced additional backlash from <br>
<br>
fans as they have claimed that Gaga is running the risk of losing her acting career. <br>
