Joker 2 Expected To Open Significantly Worse Than First Movie
Here's how much money the sequel is expected to bring in for its first weekend
Joker was a breakout success on a level that few might have seen coming. The movie was produced against a relatively modest $60 million budget and went on to earn more than $1 billion worldwide, making it one of the most profitable films in the history of cinema.
The sequel is understood to have been made on a significantly larger budget, though director Todd Phillips said estimates of a $220 million budget are "absurd."
Joker: Folie à Deux brings back Joaquin Phoenix as Joker, a role he won an Oscar for in the first film. Lady Gaga joins the cast as Harley, while Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, and Steve Coogan also have roles, along with Zazie Beetz reprising her character from the first film.
The movie had its premiere at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month, and reviews were all over the place, just like the critical reception to the 2019 movie.
