00:00The Joker has been a clown, a comedian, a criminal and whatnot, but for now, it has
00:06become a catastrophe.
00:07Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga starrer Joker Folly Adieu undoubtedly came out as a disaster
00:13on the big screens.
00:14With a narrowly disappointing earning ratio, the film did not seem to be doing well despite
00:19powerful actors like Lady Gaga and Phoenix in significant roles.
00:24But what has come out as an even shocking stance before the audience is its screen performance
00:29proving to be even lower than the old flop of the industry, Morbius.
00:33Morbius, which is part of the Sony Spider-Man universe and a Marvel character, underperformed
00:38at the box office.
00:39The film was called off by fans upon its release in the year 2022.
00:44But it seems the 2024 DC movie is worse than that.
00:48Morbius featured Jared Leto in the titular role, who coincidentally also played the character
00:53of Joker in Suicide Square in 2016.
00:56The 2022 comic book movie was subjected to internet memes and later won the Golden Raspberry
01:01Awards for the category Worst Actor.
01:04Surpassing the same in terms of being the worst, Joaquin Phoenix movie Joker Folly Adieu
01:09earned only a total of $37.7 million on its three-day debut weekend.
01:15This overall collection was not only poorer than the original movie's earning but also
01:19lower than Jared Leto starrer Morbius.
01:22The OG film collected $96 million despite coming out as a major flop.
01:27This has really questioned Todd Phillips' idea of execution.
01:30Morbius, The Flash, and The Marvels are some of the lowest-earning comic book movies in
01:35the past few years and Joaquin Phoenix's crime drama has beaten them all.
01:39For the unworst, Morbius collected $39 million only on its debut weekend at the box office
01:45in North America, while The Flash and The Marvels collections reportedly were $55 million
01:51and $46.1 million respectively.
01:55Part jukebox musical and part courtroom drama, Joker 2 is just crashing and burning.
02:00Even fans of Joker are unlikely to find much to redeem this chaotic, profoundly stupid
02:05mess.
02:06Set critiques post-watching the movie.
