Joker 2 Box Office Manages To Pass Major Global Milestone Four Weeks After Release Despite Lackluster Theatrical Run

Despite a collapse at the box office, Joker: Folie a Deux just crossed a major milestone worldwide. As the sequel to the divisive $1 billion Joker movie, Folie a Deux has received extremely negative reviews and has become a severe financial disappointment. The movie reportedly has a $190 million budget, which far exceeds the original's $65 million, and added Lady Gaga to the cast as Harley Quinn. It was released on October 4.

After three weeks, Joker 2 has finally crossed the $200 million milestone at the worldwide box office, according to a report by The Numbers. The results were a disappointing total for the sequel, which has earned just $57.8 million domestically and $143.3 million internationally. Surprisingly, this news comes just days after it was announced that the movie would be available digitally on October 29. 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD copies will be available starting on December 17.
