Lady Gaga is 'disappointed' at the immense flood of negative reactions to <br>
<br>
Joker: Folie à Deux, with the singer's team now keen to quickly push <br>
<br>
out other projects to help distract from the furor over the film, insiders claim.<br>

<br>
<br>
Todd Phillips‘ sequel was officially released in theaters on October <br>
<br>
4, but despite expectations, it bombed, raking in just under $40 million at the domestic box office, and receiving the <br>
<br>
lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Gaga, 38, is reportedly confused at the lack of love for her turn as Harleen Lee Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, <br>
<br>
alongside Joaquin Phoenix, 49, as the Joker - a role that won him the best actor Oscar in 2019 - in the wake of <br>
<br>
the standing ovation it received at the Venice Film Festival <br>
<br>
last month.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Gaga is surprised by the response to Joker 2 and is shocked that people don't love <br>
<br>
it after the response it received from critics before it premiered,' a source exclusively told DailyMail.com. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'She put so much heart into the movie and has so much respect for the DC comics fan base.'<br>

Lady Gaga is 'disappointed' at the immense flood of negative reactions to <br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
They added: 'Her team is quietly looking at other projects they can roll out as they want to move on this from as quickly as possible.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But despite the lackluster reception from fans, a second source claimed <br>
<br>
she is not letting it deter her from returning to the big screen, <br>
<br>
with the singer said to be eyeing up a Quentin Tarantino movie.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'She is disappointed that Joker is pretty much a bomb,' they said. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'She thought that this film could get her an Oscar nomination, especially since the first film was such a <br>
<br>
success and Joaquin won an Oscar.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'She would now like to land a role in Quentin Tarantino's next and final <br>
<br>
film. Nobody knows what that is going to be, but she wants to audition. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'She's going to lobby hard to get a meeting with him once a script is presented, it is <br>
<br>
a bucket list moment for her to be involved.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Tarantino was set to create The Movie Critic which would have <br>
<br>
been his tenth and final film, but on April 17, sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the project was canceled.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The famed director is now believed to be working up a <br>
<br>
new project to mark his final cinematic release.<br>

Joker: Folie à Deux has flopped at the box office, with the <br>
<br>
psychological musical thriller also landing the lowest CinemaScore for a comic <br>
<br>
book movie<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
Gaga, real name is Stefani Germanotta, is hoping the Joker 2 flop will just be a small blip in her career, after <br>
<br>
the film received a D rating on CinemaScore — the lowest score for a comic book movie. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier <br>
<br>
this year and also received terrible reviews — holds the higher score of C+.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joker notably opened with $96.2 million on its theater release in 2019 and eventually took a little over $1 billion in the global box office. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The first movie - which was also directed by Phillips - had a <br>
<br>
budget of between $55 and $70 million. However, the budget more than doubled to around $200 million for Folie À Deux. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The sequel screened during the Venice International Film Festival last month, where it earned <br>
<br>
a 12-minute standing ovation, per Deadline. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It had been projected to bring in around $70 million - but the number drastically <br>
<br>
dropped amid mixed reviews before release. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Audiences have since shared their opinions on the sequel, which features multiple musical sequences. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Joaquin Phoenix don't deserve this,' wrote one <br>
<br>
on X. 'What happened to the script?'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Another user added: 'Stop making sequels as musicals if <br>
<br>
the original wasn't a musical.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
An insider told DailyMail.com: 'Gaga is surprised by the response <br>
<br>
to Joker 2 and is shocked that people don't love it after the response it received from critics before <br>
<br>
it premiered'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Joker downfall really needs to be studied,' shared a third, along <br>
<br>
with a monkey staring out a window. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One fan branded it 'bad,' adding:' It was pretentious and dull.<br>
<br>
Has the aesthetic of an arthouse film without the substance.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'It also insults the audience's intelligence.<br>
<br>
the songs were also underwhelming too. They shouldn't have let this escape to <br>
<br>
theaters.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Another said: 'The audience that loved the first movie <br>
<br>
is not the same audience running to see musicals.<br>
<br>
This was a gigantic mistake from step 1.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Many social media users have also slammed the movie's final scene, which saw Phoenix's Arthur Fleck brutally stabbed <br>
<br>
to death by a fellow inmate who could in fact by the real Joker.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But others did jump in in defense of the film, with one hailing it 'amazing.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'100% as divisive as people are making it out to be,' they continued.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'I love that the film didn't try to be a traditional sequel, and fully <br>
<br>
committed to the storytelling they presented. It never deviated to be a film full of Easter eggs or any <br>
<br>
other crowd pleasing aspects.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Another user said: 'I kinda loved Joker 2. I loved how it was structured as a meta-exploration of <br>
<br>
the first film's fandom and the musical elements <br>
<br>
were a lot of fun.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Another source explained: 'Gaga thought that this film could get her an Oscar nomination' (pictured director Todd Phillips,<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
The insider explained: 'She would now like to land a role in Quentin Tarantino's next and final film'<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One user claimed the film is 'getting universal hate despite being more interesting and creative than anything marvel has <br>
<br>
done in years is expected.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Joker 2 is genuinely such a clever movie which carries the character study format of <br>
<br>
the first movie into the second in a way which, surprisingly, will floor you by the end,' declared another.<br>
<br>
'I'm astounded reception is this bad because this is SUCH a clever movie.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A video of Gaga and Phoenix's awkward reaction to being asked <br>
<br>
if Folie à Deux was 'everything they expected' went viral amid the backlash.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
For a few seconds, the two stars sat in silence as <br>
<br>
they both waited for the other to answer the question.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Tell them how you feel, Joaquin,' Gaga said to her <br>
<br>
costar as she held out a fake microphone in front of him.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'It's so hard to talk about but I think we feel like we achieved what we set out to do,' he <br>
<br>
replied.<br>
