Director Todd Phillips‘ Joker: Folie de dos fell flat on its face at the box office and most critics and fans were disappointed with how the film turned out. The film is also succeeding on VOD. There’s just no real interest in the movie.

During a recent call between executives and investors at Warner Bros. Discovery, the box office performance of the Joker sequel was discussed and how it could weigh on the company’s performance in its next quarter.

It is at this point that the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav admitted that the film was a disappointment, saying: “Inconsistency also continues to be a problem in our film studio, as recently reinforced by the disappointing results of joker 2.”

Warner Bros. Discovery is going through some financial problems right now, so joker 2 The bombing at the box office didn’t really help, especially since spent more than 200 million dollars about the production, which is ridiculous for the type of movie it ended up being.

Executives said they will begin to focus more on core franchises and reduce the number of new releases.

Jeff GoldsteinWarner Bros.’ The president of Domestic Distribution previously spoke about the film’s failure, saying, “The film did not reach the audience the way we wanted.”

He went on to say that the film was a “deeper dive into mental illness” and then argued that some of its core male audience had difficulty connecting with Lady Gaga.

He seems to be the only person who liked it. joker 2 was Quentin Tarantinowho said it was a “‘Fuck you’ for ‘comic book geeks’ and ‘Hollywood’.” Said:

“The Joker directed the movie. The whole concept, even him spending the studio’s money, he’s spending it like the Joker would spend it, okay?

“And then his big surprise gift, haha! – the jack-in-the-box, when he offers his hand for a handshake and you hear a doorbell with 10,000 volts shooting at you – are the comic book fans.

“He’s telling them to screw everyone. He’s telling the movie audience to screw him. He’s saying screw you Hollywood. He’s saying screw you to anyone who owns DC and Warner Brothers stock (…) And Todd Phillips is the Joker. A Joker movie, okay, it is what it is. “He’s the Joker.”

I like that version of the movie.
