Joker 2, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, has become a complete washout in its theatrical run at the Indian box office. Considering the pre-release hype, the film was expected to rake in extraordinary numbers, but unfortunately, it has been a poor performer right from the word go. A day before yesterday, it wrapped up its extended opening week, and shockingly, the collection failed to reach the 15 crore mark.
Directed by Todd Phillips, the Joker sequel has become a nightmare for the makers. While Joaquin and Gaga did their best to save the film with their performances, the uninteresting musical treatment and screenplay cut short the theatrical life of this Hollywood biggie. As a result, the film is almost out of theatres within 9 days of its release.
After an underwhelming start of 5.10 crores, Joker 2 never saw an upward trend and went downhill during weekdays. Released on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, the film arrived mid-week (Wednesday) and had an extended opening week of 9 days. During this theatrical run, the biggie has managed to earn just 13.01 crores* net at the Indian box office. Yes, you read that right!
