Joker 2 Floppt: Only $ 40 million - spectators are disappointed!

The continuation of the dark comic adaptation, "Joker: Foil à Deux", has recorded disappointing $ 40 million in its US theatrical release, which is far below expectations. For comparison: The first part shot over $ 96 million five years ago on the premiere weekend. Critics criticize the combination of musical elements and the usual gloomy atmosphere, which apparently did not arrive at the fans, because the audience evaluation was more lean with a D-the first film-received a B+. This could indicate a weak word of mouth that could continue to dampen sales in the coming weeks, according to a report by the "Hollywood Reporter".

While the film was better off outside of North America and brought $ 121 million worldwide to the box office, it remains far from its high production costs of an estimated $ 200 million. Director Todd Phillips may comfort themselves as Joker and Harley Quinn after the soulful duets by Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, but the noticeable difference in the audience reactions indicates that this attempt by a musical format at the comic fans does not ignite. as www.radioeususkirchen.de reports , this could now have a significant impact on the future box office numbers.
