As a die-hard fan of the Joker who’s seen every Batman flick, from Tim Burton’s dark masterpiece to Christopher Nolan’s epic trilogy, I must admit that the news about Joker: Folie à Deux has left me feeling a tad unstable. The Venice Film Festival reactions have been as mixed as a bowl of Gotham City’s finest rat soup, and the predictions about its box office performance are sending chills down my spine.
As a die-hard fan, I’ve been eagerly waiting for “Joker: Folie à Deux” all year long. However, the divided reactions from the Venice Film Festival appear to have dampened its prospects for a blockbuster debut at the box office.
The initial Joker movie directed by Todd Phillips was a blockbuster hit in 2019. Despite the first film receiving mixed criticism, enthusiasm for the film was high following the generally favorable feedback from its Venice premiere. People weren’t disappointed, as they thoroughly enjoyed the Joaquin Phoenix-led production. Five years later, the second movie in the series premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival, but reviews were split. A recent report hints that these mixed reactions could prevent the film from raking in a significant amount of box office revenue.
According to Empire City, the upcoming movie “Joker: Folie à Deux” may struggle to surpass $100 million during its October release, potentially falling short of its predecessor’s success. The exhibitor expressed this concern on Twitter, hinting that the film might have low opening numbers. In a tweet, they warned, “The figures don’t lie, and there are red flags everywhere. If the early pre-sales are any indication, ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ is in deep trouble. The $100m opening seems to be in serious danger and could go even lower, hopefully not reaching the level of ‘The Marvels’ or ‘The Flash.’
As a passionate moviegoer, I must admit that I was initially thrilled when Joker hit the big screen in 2019. The early reviews were overwhelmingly positive, fueling my excitement to witness this masterpiece on the silver screen. The film’s win at the Venice Film Festival gave me confidence that this movie was something special.
Currently, responses to the upcoming movie “Joker: Folie à Deux” have been quite varied, with fans generally approving of its continuation featuring Arthur Fleck. However, it’s important to note that this sequel is a musical, which may not resonate with those who appreciate the original’s dark and sinister tone. Despite some initial skepticism, the first film was initially met with similar doubts but ultimately surpassed expectations. Ticket sales have already started, and the movie won’t hit theaters for several more weeks. It remains to be seen if fans will rush to the cinema as they did for the original, or if they’ll opt to wait for its release on streaming platforms instead.
The film titled “Joker: Folie à Deux” is set to premiere in theaters on October 4 across the United States, and on October 2 globally.
