Joker: Fiasco à Doo: Weekend Box Office Results (Oct. 4-6)
You thought you could make a musical, not market it as suck and people would show up like they did for Joker in 2019? Well, Todd Phillips, the Joke's on you. Cuz your sequel just crashed and burned to the tune of $40M. That's only $1M more than what Morbius opened with
. Folie à Deux? More like Flopping à Deux. More like Failure à Deux. 
Exactly 5 years ago Joker opened $96.2M. At that time it was the fourth best opening for a rated R movie. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I was one of the people who saw that movie opening weekend. I didn't really care for it.
It was cool to see @Paper Boi and Vanessa from Atlanta, along with De Niro do their thing. Only time I watched that movie. So I had no interest in the sequel. And that was before I knew it had musical aspirations.You know there was another superhero movie that came out very recently --that we were told was a musical-- and that movie bombed. The movie in question? The Marvels. Was it a musical? No. If I remember correctly there was only one little musical number. Like Joker, it was the sequel to a billion dollar movie: Captain Marvel. It also opened in the $40M's with $46.1M. Couldn't even do better than The Marvels.
That goes for critically as well as commercially The Marvel's got a B CinemaScore to Failure à Deux's straight D. 
For God's sake, even Madame Web scored a C+ 
Just a failure of epic proportions. And these a$$holes got $190M to make this piece of trash compared to only $55M for the first one. Todd Phillips, the king of trash sequels, getting blank checks that his talent level can't cash. Make you long for the days of Jared Leto's Joker.
Second place goes to The Wild Robot with $18.7M. It's gotta pick things up during the week but this was a good hold, with only a 47.8% drop. It's at $63.9M through two weeks, which moves past Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell's Anyone But You ($63.4M) as the 26th highest grossing movie this year.
Third place belongs to Beetlejuice Beetlejuice with $10.3M for a running total of $265.5M. It's $2.2M away from passing Twisters ($267.7M) to become the #5 movie of the year. It's also officially Tim Burton's 2nd highest grossing movie, trailing only Alice in Wonderland's $334.1M.
Transformers One takes fourth with $5.3M. It's still struggling to crack $50M but its $47.2M is the #30 domestic box office, just ahead of Argylle's $45.2M. Doesn't look like it'll even make its $75M production budget, domestically.
Fifth place is held down by Speak No Evil, once again, with $2.8M. You can also catch it at home on PVOD, which I'll prolly do this week. With its $32.5M running total, it officially passed Night Swim's $32.4M to become the #5 top grossing horror movie of the year.
