Box Office: 'Joker 2' Stumbles With Lackluster $40 Million Debut https://t.co/OhqIWMG0Mk
— Variety (@Variety) October 6, 2024
Joker: Folie à Deux is out there with 39m$ OR 40m$. Either way, a far cry critically and commercially than the first one which opened with 96m$ this same weekend 5 years ago. It failed to meet expectations, which were between 50m$ – 60$m, opening lower than The Marvels last year (46.1$m).
The Wild Robot is still a respectable second in its second weekend with 18.7$m, passing 100$m worldwide. Beetlejuice 2 has 10.3m$, Transformers One is holding on with 5.5m$, and Speak No Evil rounds out the top 5 with 2.8m.
White Bird is – I'm not making this up – Lionsgate's sixth wide-release flop in 3 months, opening in 9th with 1.53m$ Apparently it's good, not original, in the same universe as Wonder.
ICYMI:
- Whatever I said Megalopolis opened at last week (5th?), it opened one place below, being beat by Speak No Evil.
- Melissa Barrera is in a show on Peacock.
- Katy O'Brian is in another movie!… With Glen Powell, again, but we can't win 'em all.
This week has The Apprentice, My Hero Acadamia The Movie You're Next, Piece by Piece, Saturday Night, and Terrifier 3. It's also the SNL return of Ariana Grande to promote Wicked.
