Seems like one of those movies like the first one, or Ray, or Bohemian Rhapsody, or The Whale, or Lincoln where it’s a transformative performance by the lead but a meh movie.

His performance definitely carries the first hour and a half of the movie but the last 45 minutes were pretty damn great overall.

Lady Gaga says she wouldn’t describe ‘JOKER 2’ as a musical.“The music is a way to give the characters a way to express themselves because the dialogue wasn’t enough”(via: Deadline)

Sounds like they didn't learn from the first film and this is going to be a slog.

Passing on this one if it’s a hybrid musical.

 

[Superbone]

Anybody here seen it yet?

I can wait for this to hit MAX around Thanksgiving.

My daughter went out of her way to call me before I was going to see it Saturday. She told me not to bother. She said the movie is boring. She said it also came off like a arthouse film sponsored by chain smoking. She said the leads couldn’t save this movie and it’s not worth the ticket.

She loved the first film too. So, she confirmed my worst fears. I will wait for it to hit streaming I guess.

The rumor is Todd Phillips made it out of spite and it comes off that way. The studio forced a sequel because of the box office hit from the first one.

With how bad it bombed, I bet it’s on MAX by Thanksgiving, at the latest.

 

[Superbone]

Thanks, all. I'll wait to stream.

The idea for ‘JOKER 2’ ultimately came from a dream that Joaquin Phoenix once had.(Source: https://hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/joker-folie-a-deux-who-blame-dc-1236025585/#recipient_hashed=4099e28fd37d67ae86c8ecfc73a6b7b652abdcdb75a184f8cf1f8015afde10e9&recipient_salt=f7bfecc7d62e4c672635670829cb8f9e0e2053aced394fb57d9da6937cf0601a&utm_medium=email&utm_source=exacttarget&utm_campaign=Breaking%20News&utm_content=556797_10-07-

Todd Phillips reportedly wanted “nothing to do with DC” during the making of ‘JOKER 2’ Phillips refused to take any communication from James Gunn and would only liaise with WB heads Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy about the film.(Source: https://wp.me/pc8uak-1lEQx4)

Joker 2 beats out Madame Web and Morbius to make cinema history in the worst possible way

Joker 2 beats out Madame Web and Morbius to make cinema history in the worst way

This regrettable milestone spells doom for Joaquin Phoenix’s blockbuster sequel

www.independent.co.uk

Early reviews of the film following its premiere at the Venice Film Festival last month were mixed, with more negative reviews emerging.

Currently, it has an early Rotten Tomatoes rating of 33 per cent from critics, and a paltry 31 per cent audience score based on over 2,500 verified views.
The bad news keeps coming, as the sequel makes cinema history for all the wrong reasons.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Joker: Folie à Deux is the first Hollywood comic book movie to earn a D CinemaScore from opening day audiences, spelling doom for its box office future. By comparison, Joker earned a favourable B+ CinemaScore.

CinemaScore measures a film’s appeal by polling early reactions to major releases.

With a D CinemaScore, Joker 2 is the most poorly reviewed studio comic book film of all time, falling behind even the much maligned Batman & Robin, Morbius, and Madame Web, all of which earned a C+.

Even the notoriously terrible 2015 Fantastic Four scraped a C-.

That history-making low score is already translating into trouble at the box office for Joker 2, with the film coming in well behind expectations.

This thing is going to be on NBC before spring...hell, they might just skip the digital release.



Question for you guys in the industry....
Are there options for box office insurance? Athletes can insure body parts against injury...can producers insure movies against being a total belly flop in a kiddie pool?
