Joker 2 Getting Home Release Less Than A Month After Theatrical Flop
Through its first three weeks in theaters, Joker: Folie à Deux has taken in $56 million domestically, far below the original Joker film from 2019. Now, Warner Bros. has set a digital debut for the Joker sequel that is less than a month after its theatrical premiere, with a home video release right around the corner.
Folie à Deux will arrive on digital outlets on October 29, which largely foreshadows the end of its theatrical run. The film has already fallen to No. 6 at the box office with $2.18 million last weekend, and it won't be making much more than that in this country. Internationally, the Joker sequel has fared better, with $135.6 million from other countries. That brings its worldwide total to $192.2 million against a reported $200 million budget.
Theaters usually keep half of a film's box office total, and Folie à Deux is estimated to lose $125-$200 million for Warner Bros., making it one of the biggest flops of all time. No one expected this from a sequel to Joker, which made over $1 billion worldwide and earned Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar for Best Actor. Phoenix and director Todd Phillips reportedly earned $20 million each for the sequel, while Lady Gaga was paid $12 million for her leading role.
