Folie à Deux? Extra like Folly a D.
Joker: Folie à Deux just isn’t off to a scorching begin in theaters in any conceivable method. It’s performing effectively below expectations on the field workplace thus far. The unique Joker burst into theaters with virtually $100 million in its opening weekend. Just a few weeks in the past, the consultants had been predicting Folie à Deux would open round $70 million. After Friday, it appears extra like that quantity shall be nearer to $50 million.

Then once more, should you’ve seen Folie à Deux, this consequence may not shock you. In my very own evaluate, I wrote about how the movie appeared to be “engineered to intentionally antagonize the viewers” that cherished the primary film, with a tedious courtroom drama plot, low-key musical numbers, and comparatively little Joker mayhem.
