Joker: Folie à Deux Weekend Thread

Recommended Posts











Deadline try to start a war between fans of divas

 

Quote

The only nice thing you can say about Joker: Folie à Deux‘s opening here when it comes to movie musicals, is that its stateside start is bigger than the entire domestic gross of Cats ($27.1M).

WB calls it $40M, which will get the headlines. Then when it adjusts down to $38.5M in 2 days, only people like us will be aware of it.

 

 

It's not like headlines about 40M and not 38.5 will be any different. 

 

Saturday apparently was 11.5 and not 10.5 how someone predicted here so probably It's true is near to 40M.

So did Joker 1 fans actually think the sequel was going to be Joaquin fighting Batman or something? :sadfleck:

No, but I think the expectation was Arthur would fully embrace Joker and become the dark prince of Gotham. The expectation was probably a crime thriller before word got out that it was a musical

The fun thing is a similar movie to joker with Joaquin Phoenix (like the king of comedy can be similar to taxi driver) with the marketing of "the first film of the joker director reunited with Joaquin Phoenix" and a 40M budget would have opened probably with just 10M less. But Warner decided to do play the sequel card of a movie didn't Need It.

Remember when we were saying that the final 4 months were going to be great and carry the momentum that started in June with BB ROD through the rest of the year. Fun times. Although this weekend will be above this weekend last year. The next few weekends are going to be brutal though with the Era's and Five Nights at Freddys comps through the end of the month.

Crime thriller wouldn't work with this version of the character. I think the ending of the first one implied Joker becoming a cult leader, Charles Manson type of figure, in fact Gaga's Harley was inspired by Manson girls. But unfortunately Phillips didn't go there.
