Joker: Folie à Deux was a major critical and box office misfire, bringing in only $37 million in its opening weekend when it was originally projected to do almost twice that. Now, it's looking at the possibility of one of the steepest second-weekend drops in movie history. So what, exactly, went wrong here? It seems that director Todd Phillips was basically given free rein to do whatever he wanted to do... and DC Studios had no input whatsoever.

Joker 2, a $200M art house movie, faced mass walkouts and a 33% Rotten Tomatoes score due to its unexpected musical genre, despite an 11-minute standing ovation at Venice Film Festival.

The film's $300M production and marketing costs were not justified by its $70M opening weekend and $70M worldwide total after 5 days, making it a financial disaster.

Todd Phillips refused to work with DC Studios, only liaising with Warner Bros, and excluded the DC logo from the film's opening, according to a Variety report.

The film's ending, which kills Arthur Fleck, implies the Joker mantle is passed on, reflecting how accidental movement leaders are often pushed aside by other personalities.

Joaquin Phoenix pushed for the sequel after the idea came to him in a dream, contributing to the film's high budget as it was initially considered a Broadway musical.
