Films that opened bigger than Joker 2:

Bee Movie ($38M)

You Don’t Mess With The Zohan ($38.5M)

Morbius ($39M)

Wild Hogs ($39.7M)

Scary Movie 4 ($40.2M)

Grown Ups ($40.5M) and Grown Ups 2 ($41.5M)

Madea Goes to Jail ($41M)

High School Musical 3 ($42M)

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - $45M

Joker 2 only opened slightly higher than The Wild Robot and IF at 35m and 33m respectively.

Where is Wild Robot headed towards. 125m ish at best. 

Yeah. Thats around where I have it. Maybe 130m if it holds slightly better than expected in the next couple of weeks but man… what could have been. Not a failure by any means though.

It's clear that summer absolutely does increase the overall total of kids movies. It doesn't just change the weekday/weekend ratio.

The finale of the Disney Channel original series has a better understanding of what musical numbers are supposed to achieve in a film than Todd does. And will likely make more money than Joker 2.

lol, so this whole thing was just a vanity project for Phoenix? Do think her career is about to go on a downward trajectory at this point. Don’t care much since he’s had a fantastic career for like 20 years, but what an insane post-Oscar trajectory he’s been on

If this project had meant so much to Phoenix, you think he would have taken some singing lessons.....

Tired: Movies that had a bigger OW than Joker 2

Wired: Movies that had a bigger DOM total than Joker 2

Inspired: Movies that had a bigger post-OW than Joker 2

 

Fwiw I'm guessing ~22M post-OW, which is a tad bit higher than Madame Web

I think the singing was a creative choice to ground the musical elements which is...really dumb but whatever. I blame Tom Hooper for movie musicals doing stuff like this now.

Longlegs and Civil War are likely going to end up with higher totals than Joker 2. Anyone who would've predicted that several months ago would be deemed delusional and yet here we are.

When you have Gaga sounding crap you know some very strange creative decisions were taken
