Warner Bros. Pictures 'Joker 2' Scores A Rare Unwanted Record

Mumbai, October 5 - Warner Bros. Pictures' musical psychological thriller Joker: Folie à Deux/Joker 2 has scored a rare unwanted record. The movie is a sequel to a billion-dollar grosser, so there were high expectations from Joker 2.## However, unlike the high expectations, Joker 2 is turning out to be a nightmare for the studio and the talent involved, heading towards an all-time disaster at the box office. The chances of a box office rebound are also unlikely due to terrible audience reception. ## Joker 2 has become the first comic book movie to receive 'D' CinemaScore. It is the second-worst CinemaScore rating, just above the 'F' rating. It is also only the second movie post the COVID-19 pandemic to score 'D' CinemaScore, after fantasy horror The Exorcism. ## As far as the box office is concerned, the sequel minted $7 million in its Thursday preview and is heading towards a disaster of around $40 million opening weekend at the domestic (North America) box office, which is less than half of the first movie. ## Directed by Todd Phillips, Joker 2 stars Joaquin Phoenix reprising his role as the titular character, with Lady Gaga joining as his love interest Harley Quinn. In the movie, Arthur Fleck is institutionalized at Arkham, awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker. While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love but also finds the music that's always been inside him.## Stay tuned...
