Joker: Folie à Deux flops further in second week at US box office after lacklustre opening

Panned sequel to Oscar-winning hit makes just $7m domestically in second weekend, an 81% drop that places it among the steepest ever recorded

Joker: Folie à Deux is continuing its downward trajectory after flopping in its opening weekend, with historically low box office figures in its second week. The record decline for a comic book movie was previously held by The Marvels, which bombed at the box office last year and suffered a 78% drop in its second weekend after being released in 4,030 cinemas. Phoenix reprises his role in the follow-up, while Lady Gaga joins the cast as love interest Lee Quinzel, based on the character Harley Quinn.
