The box office numbers for Joker: Folie à Deux are in, and the sequel to Todd Phillips' original comic book movie seems to be languishing financially. On a budget of around 200 million dollars before taking advertising into account, the film has, at the time of writing, pulled in only a measly 40 million dollars domestically, barely edging past the 121 million mark worldwide.
9 Joker: Folie à Deux Is A Divisive Psuedo-Musical Joker's musical presence misses the mark Ever since the announcement that Joker: Folie à Deux would be a musical, the film had been getting flack for the sudden change in genre. A more niche subset of films, musicals only appeal to a more select audience, and it's safe to say that only a small subset of musical fans would also be interested in a comic book movie.
7 Joker: Folie à Deux Doesn't Take Much Inspiration From The Comics Joker 2 hardly qualifies as a comic book movie at all Based on the Batman villain of DC Comics fame, both Joker and Joker: Folie à Deux are technically comic book movies. That being said, outside a handful of names, the Gotham City setting, and a brief cameo from a young Batman, Joker didn't have all that much to do with its supposed source material.
5 Joker: Folie à Deux Didn't Use A Lot Of Scenes From The Trailer The second movie could be suffering from false advertising The initial trailers for Joker: Folie à Deux painted the film in quite a positive light, being well-received and seemingly ensuring hesitant audiences that they were in good hands for the sequel. This makes it all the more astonishing that the film has flopped in the wake of this advertisement.
