Can Lady Gaga & Joaquin Phoenix’s ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Go Nuts At The Box Office? $140M Global Start Eyed – Preview
'Joker: Folie à Deux' eyes $140M global start at the box office, well below the near $249M global start of first 'Joker' in 2019.
The first Joker blew past its $80M domestic projection with the highest opening of all-time at $96.2M and outstripped its $155M WW forecast with $248.2M (2019 figures unadjusted for inflation and currency swings). Similar to the first Joker, Warners world premiered this sequel at Venice, however, that didn’t help in regards to reviews which stand at 62% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes (vs. the first movie’s 69% with critics). Korea was the lead weekend opener on Joker, which at the time was surprising given it wasn’t clear how the darker elements of the film would play there.
