The highly awaited sequel to Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, has unfortunately flopped at the box office. Released in India on October 2, followed by its worldwide debut on October 4, the film failed to attract significant audience interest despite being a sequel to the 2019 hit.
Directed by Todd Phillips, the movie received mixed to negative reviews and struggled commercially. In response to its poor theatrical performance, the producers have decided to release it on OTT platforms within a month of its cinema release.
According to recent reports, Joker: Folie à Deux is set for a digital release on October 29, following its underwhelming box office run. While the exact platform for the OTT release has not yet been confirmed, the movie will be available for streaming less than a month after its October 4 premiere in North America.
Joker: Folie à Deux had a decent start in India, grossing just over ₹5 crore on its opening day, October 2. However, its collections dropped consistently afterward, failing to surpass ₹2 crore on any subsequent day. The film’s five-day opening weekend earned ₹10.99 crore in India, with no boost from the weekend box office.
In contrast, the original Joker (2019), which earned Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar for his portrayal of Arthur Fleck, made ₹23 crore in India during its five-day opening weekend. Despite both films being released in the same period, their box office performances have shown a sharp difference five years apart.
