Joker: Delirium for Two disappoints with box office below Marvels and Flash

Things are not good for Joker: Delirium for Two… In addition to the negative reviews, the long-awaited sequel to the 2019 hit film had a disappointing opening box office in the United States, with just US$37.8 million (R$207 million) grossed in its first weekend, as well below the studio’s expectations. The information is from Variety.

The value puts Joker: Delirium for Twoamong the worst debuts for a film inspired by superhero comics, behind The Marvelswhich grossed US$46 million in its debut, and The Flashwhich made US$55 million.

Furthermore, the novelty, starring Joaquin Phoenix (Napoleon) and Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born), grossed less than half of the first film’s opening box office, which was US$96 million, which considerably reduces the chances of making a profit on its budget of around US$200 million and puts it far from the billion mark , surpassed by its predecessor.
