Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga’s Joker: Folie a Deux is still fighting the odds and has finally reached a major milestone at the global box office. Joker 2 experienced a harsh drop in the overseas markets, and with the release of Venom 3, it has been further affected. This is a lost cause at the box office, and there is hardly any chance it will recover and start doing well. In the next month, a couple of more big-budget films will be released, and then it will be game over for this Todd Phillips directorial.
Joker 2 had a reported budget between $190 million and $200 million. It was one of the most anticipated comic book films of the year after Deadpool & Wolverine. It is underperforming at the cinemas, and seeing that the makers have decided on an early digital release for the film. It has also created history by getting a D on CinemaScore, the lowest in the history of comic book movies.
As per Luiz Fernando’s report, Joker 2 grossed $3.8 million on its fourth weekend at the overseas box office. It experienced a harsh drop of 74.1% from last weekend, and with that, Joker: Folie a Deux has reached a $143.3 million international cume. It played across 78 markets. This is disappointing indeed but look at the silver lining. This collection finally helped the film reach the $200 million mark worldwide.
