At the same time, Warner Bros.’ second weekend of Joker: Folie à Deux is posting a -82% freefall with around $6.7M-$7M per industry estimates — that’s the absolute worst hold for a DC character movie in the history of the brand on the big screen. Triple note, James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Studios did not steer or shepherd Joker 2. The Joaquin Phoenix-Lady Gaga R-rated musical is even getting kicked out of No. 2 by a cartoon robot, DreamWorks Animation/Universal’s Wild Robot ($13.5M third weekend) and even out of third by Warner Bros.’ own Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (estimated $7.3M). This drop isn’t as shocker as we saw Joker 2 doing worse than the second frame of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s The Marvels (-78%) which was the worst hold for that Disney label’s movies.

This will be gone from most theaters before the end of the month. Might as well just drop it on streaming next week.

82% drop after it’s first week .. that’s actually a record for a movie that received a full theatrical release . Friday the 13th (2009) had a 80.4% drop

our Clacton cinema picked the wrong film to show surprised they won't show Terrifier 3 instead
