Joker: Folie à Deux has achieved a dubious distinction by earning the lowest CinemaScore in history for a comic book movie, a dismal D rating. This surpasses previous low scores and signals widespread audience dissatisfaction.
Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.You have probably heard at this point that Joker: Folie a Deux is a massive miss of a sequel, a black mark for DC and what is likely to be a box office failure with an inexplicably bloated budget. But now? It’s set a full-on record. A bad one.
CinemaScore is usually a pretty good gauge of audience reaction which can be either elevated above critics for blockbuster popcorn films, or lower than critics for less accessible films . But what that means is that a lot of superhero movies, especially modern ones, do quite well. The original Joker got a B+., but the end result is that Joker: Folie a Deux is the only one that has gotten a D. Not even a D+, mind you, nothing else even got that.
Why? Well, see the movie, but the general consensus is that A) it did not need to be made, B) it is boring, C) the musical numbers are too frequent and not good and D) absolutely everyone hates the ending.
