After a horrendous debut last week, Joker: Folie à Deuxplummeted in its sophomore frame at the box office. The genre-fluid sequel to 2019’s blockbuster hit Joker registered a record drop in collections domestically, cementing its stature as one of the biggest bombs of the year, and perhaps one of the biggest major studio disasters in recent memory. The bar was set by another Warner Bros. release a few months ago.
WB basically gave the filmmaker a blank check to put the sequel together, and costs ultimately settled at a reported $200 million. Phillips took the movie in a wholly different direction, introducing elements of musical theater and courtroom drama to the psychological thrills of the first film. The odd concoction proved to be repulsive to audiences, who awarded the film an unprecedented D CinemaScore.
