While Art the Clown from Terrifier 3 is entertaining the viewers despite the lack of big stars, Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix fail to catch people’s eyes. Joker: Folie a Deux’s last hope was China, but it seems the movie is not doing so well there as well. Joker 2 is even below the re-release collections of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Scroll below for more.
Besides Terrifier 3, Smile 2 has created much buzz with its early reviews and the Thursday previews. It will surely be in the top three of the domestic box office chart. The Wild Robot and even Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which was released in early September, have been doing better than Todd Phillips’ sequel. The makers have reportedly decided to release the film on digital platforms in less than a month of its theatrical release. China was the last hope for this disaster, but things aren’t bright either.
According to Luiz Fernando’s report, Joker 2 collected only $745K on Thursday and lost 9K screenings the following day. It played over 56K screenings on Friday and collected $932K. It was on #3 below Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It collected $1.2 million over 21K screenings only. Joker: Folie a Deux was released in China on Wednesday.
