Nobody seems to be smiling for “Joker: Folie à Deux” as it continues to flop at the box office. It was expected to be another comic book smash… instead, the sequel is a box office disaster.

Incels had one thing.
One thing.
They turned that one thing into a vagina overload.
Joker: Folie à Deux is on course for a catastrophic financial loss of up to $200m (£153m) as its dismal box office run continues amid a stream of critical brickbats and poor audience ratings.According to a report in Variety, industry analysts say Joker: Folie à Deux is projected to earn a total of $65m at the North American box office, and around $215m elsewhere for a total of $280m – well below the estimated $300m the film cost to produce and promote. With revenue splits with cinemas factored in, Variety say that in fact the film needs to earn around $450m to break even, though producing studio Warner Bros say that the break-even figure is in fact $375m. In an effort to claw back revenue the film is headed for an early debut on home entertainment and streaming platforms on 29 October. Meanwhile the Rotten Tomatoes rating website has recorded an audience score of 32%.
As a result the estimate is the film could lose its producers between $125m and $200m. However a statement from Warner Bros disputed the accuracy of the figures, saying: “Any estimates suggested by anonymous ‘insiders’ or ‘rival executives’ are grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumour is reported as fact.”All this is in stark contrast to the reception given the first Joker film. With the same star, Joaquin Phoenix, and director Todd Phillips, Joker won the prestigious Golden Lion at the Venice film festival on its premiere in 2019 as well as winning the best actor Oscar for Phoenix; it was also a huge commercial success, earning $1.08bn at the global box office, including £335m in North America.
This is one of the worst failures in cinema history. It is the single least profitable comic book movie ever. People are saying it is the worst movie ever.
The Jewish director, Todd “Phillips” Bunzi, accidentally made a film that appealed to disaffected white men. He was angry about it, and made a sequel to attack the fans of the first film.
However, it was so bad that not even the hordes of journalists whining about how incels liked the first film were able to tolerate it. The fact that this film is complete shit is the first thing incels and vagina journalists were able to agree on.
