Amid tepid returns at the box office for Joker: Folie à Deux, a number of fans of the <br> <br> sequel 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, <br> <br> debuted to a paltry $40 million at the domestic box office,<br> <br> good enough for the weekend's top spot, but less than projections, and half that of its predecessor.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Amid the early returns, a number of fans took up for <br> <br> the movie and its cinematic depth, in breaking away from the cookie cutter nature of sequels <br> <br> to introduce a musical element not present in the <br> <br> first film, with Lady Gaga joining the franchise.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'Joker 2 was amazing,' one user said, adding that it was '100% as divisive as people are making it <br> <br> out to be. I love that the film didn't try to be a traditional <br> <br> 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 <br> <br> 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 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 <br> <br> of the sequel took to social media over the weekend in defense <br> <br> of the sequel to Todd Phillips' 2019 motion picture,<br> <br> starring Joaquin Phoenix<br> <br> <br> <br> One user marveled that Joker 2 is 'getting universal hate <br> <br> despite being more interesting and creative than anything marvel <br> <br> has done in years is expected.'<br> <br> <br> <br> A user said that 'Joker 2 is genuinely such a clever movie which carries the character <br> <br> study format of the first movie into the second in a way which, surprisingly, will floor you by the end.<br> <br> I'm astounded reception is this bad because this is SUCH a <br> <br> clever movie'<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Read More<br> <br> <br> <br> <b><u>Lady Gaga reflects on the ups and downs of her career...<br> <br> as Joker flops at box office</u></b><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Some users said that the bad word-of-mouth the film was suffering from was impacting <br> <br> the opinions of moviegoers.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'The Joker 2 hate is so forced like did we watched the same movie????????' one <br> <br> user said, while another said the hate for the film is <br> <br> 'so unjustified.'<br> <br> <br> <br> <b>One fan predicted that the motion picture with stand the test of <br> <br> time with audiences.</b><br> <br> <br> <br> 'I may be one of ten people who genuinely liked the Joker 2.<br> <br> Remember me when society circles back 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 <br> <br> made for you. The dynamic between Harley and <br> <br> Joker was brilliant and showcased the 'obsession' that <br> <br> is key to that duo.' <br> <br> <br> <br> The movie's box office collapse was swift and has <br> <br> many in the industry wondering: How did the highly anticipated sequel <br> <br> to an Oscar-winning, billion-dollar film with the same creative team go wrong?<br> <br> Just three weeks ago, tracking services pegged the movie for a $70 million debut, which would still <br> <br> have been down a fair 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> <u><b>A number of fans took to social media to defend the controversial sequel</b></u><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Amid the early returns, a number of fans took <br> <br> up for the movie and its cinematic depth, in breaking away <br> <br> from the cookie cutter nature of sequels to introduce a musical element not present <br> <br> in the first film, with Lady Gaga joining the franchise <br> <br> <br> <br> Reviews were mixed out of the Venice Film Festival, where <br> <br> it premiered in competition like the first movie and even got a 12-minute standing ovation.<br> <br> <br> <br> But the homecoming glow was short-lived, and the fragile foundation would crumble in the coming <br> <br> weeks with its Rotten Tomatoes score dropping from 63 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 the film <br> <br> 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,' said Paul Dergarabedian, the <br> <br> senior media analyst for Comscore. 'The biggest issue <br> <br> of all is the reported budget. A $40 or $50 million opening for a less expensive movie <br> <br> would be a solid debut.'<br> <br> <br> <br> Joker: Folie à Deux cost at least twice as much as the first film to produce, though reported <br> <br> figures vary at exactly how pricey it was to make.<br> <br> Phillips told Variety that it was less than the reported $200 million; Others have it pegged at $190 <br> <br> million. Warner Bros. released the film in 4,102 locations in North <br> <br> America. About 12.5 percent of its domestic total came <br> <br> from 415 IMAX screens.<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 <br> <br> next two weeks, Joker 2 will also open in Japan and China.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Second place went to Universal and DreamWorks Animation's The Wild <br> <br> Robot, which added $18.7 million in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total <br> <br> to nearly $64 million. Globally, it's made over $100 million. Warner Bros.' Beetlejuice Beetlejuice  took third place in weekend five, Paramount's Transformers One landed in fourth and Universal <br> <br> and Blumhouse's Speak No Evil rounded out the top five.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The other big new release of the weekend, Lionsgate's White <br> <br> Bird, flopped with just $1.5 million from just over 1,<br> <br> 000 locations, despite an A+ CinemaScore.<br> <br> <br> <br> Overall, the weekend is up from the same frame last <br> <br> year, but Joker's start is an unwelcome twist for theater owners hoping to <br> <br> narrow 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 <br> <br> pieces, some who posit that it was deliberately alienating fans of the first movie<br> <br> <br> <br> Phillips and star Joaquin Phoenix have said they aspired <br> <br> to make something as 'audacious' as the first film.<br> <br> The sequel added Lady Gaga into the fold , as a Joker superfan, <br> <br> and delved further into the mind of Arthur Fleck, imprisoned at Arkham and awaiting trial for the murders he committed in the first.<br> <br> <br> <br> It´s also a musical, with elaborately imagined song and <br> <br> dance numbers to old standards. Gaga even released a companion album <br> <br> called ''Harlequin,' alongside the film.<br> <br> <br> <br> The sequel has already been the subject of many think pieces, some who posit that it was deliberately <br> <br> alienating fans of the first movie. In cruder terms, <br> <br> it´s been called a 'middle finger.' But fans often ignore the <br> <br> advice of critics, especially when it comes to opening their wallets to <br> <br> 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 the theater.<br> <br> They want the tried and true, the familiar.' <br> <br> <br> <br> Deadline editor Anthony D´Alessandro thinks the problem started with the idea to make the Joker sequel a <br> <br> musical. 'No fan of the original movie wanted to see a musical sequel,' he wrote on Saturday.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The first film was also divisive and the subject of much <br> <br> discourse, then about whether it might send the wrong message to the wrong type of <br> <br> person. And yet people still flocked to see what the fuss <br> <br> was about. Joker went on to pick up 11 Oscar nominations, including best picture and <br> <br> best director, and three wins. It also made over $1 billion and was the <br> <br> highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, until this summer when Marvel's Deadpool & Wolverine took the <br> <br> crown.<br> <br> <br> <br> Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S.<br> <br> and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic <br> <br> figures will be released Monday. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Joaquin PhoenixLady Gaga<br> <br> <br> <br> Feel free to surf to my web page - <a href="https://lil.so/DxTn">ร้านขายดอกไม้จันทน์ ใกล้ฉัน</a>
