Joker 2’s cinematic pounding continues after a poor opening weekend has seen it reportedly lose roughly $70,000,000 (£53.5m) at the box office.
What’s more, it’s officially been rated as the worst comic book movie ever, as well as the worst film of 2024 – yes, even worse than Madame Web.
But that appears to have been just the start of Joker: Folie à Deux’s woes, for it has become the first Hollywood comic book movie in history to to receive a dismal D CinemaScore rating from opening night audiences.
It’s made just $40m (£30.6m) at the US box office, which is massively down on predictions of $70m (£53.5m) from just three weeks ago, and combined with international results of $81.1m (£62m) puts it at $121.1m (£92.6m) total so far.
The movie cost at least twice the original Joker’s pricetag of $55m (£42m), with reports putting it at around $190m (£145m) according to AP after director Todd Phillips denied that it was as high as $200m (£153m).
So it’s looking like a loss so far of nearly $70m (£53.5m).
Go woke, lose money is accurate. The people behind this are nowhere near 'going broke'. They're happy to spend lots of money to mould culture, and society to their liking. In fact the real big boys can just create as much money as they want out of nothing anyway.
