“Joker: Folie à Deux” opened in its second weekend in the US, with just $7.05 million at the US box office. This is a rare sharp drop, down 81.3% from the previous week.
The first place in the US box office revenue ranking for October 11-13, 2024 was the debut film “Terrifier 3” with $ 18.3 million. In second place was “Roz of the Wild Island” in its third week with $13.45 million. “Joker: Folie à Deux” dropped from 1st place last week to 3rd place.
Earnings for each theater also became difficult. “Joker: Folie à Deux” was shown in 4,102 theaters, unchanged from the previous week, the highest number of theaters this week, compared to 2,514 theaters for “Terrifer” and 3,854 theaters for “Ross of the Wild Island.”
A drop of 81.3% on the previous week is extremely bad. “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantomania,” which became a symbol of last year’s “movement away from American comic films,” dropped by 69.9%.“Carnage”This was higher than the previous film’s negative 78.1%, making it the worst record for an American comic book film. For the Warner Bros. movie DC, this is a worse result than the minimal 72.5% for The Flash, which was expected to be a huge success. In addition, “The Flash” ended up grossing $270 million worldwide.
“Joker: Folie à Deux” also seems to have unexpected results. Its current worldwide total is $165.31 million. The production cost is said to be 200 million dollars, and the break-even point is 450 million dollars, but the American media is already in a mood to ignore it. This week, several media reported the tragedy of this long-awaited sequel that was supposed to be promised, as well as the start of the amazing “Terrifier 3”.
“Joker: Folie à Deux” will be released in Japan on October 11. According to Box Office Mojo data, box office revenue was $2.4 million (about 358 million yen). The score is about 80% compared to the previous film, “Joker,” but the difference is not as obvious as in the United States. In the United States, the first film earned $96.2 million in its opening weekend, while this film earned $37.68 million, less than half that.
Joker was defeated in the second week in America by Art the Clown from Terrifer, but at the end of the second week in Japan, Jigsaw from Saw X (October 18th) will attack. Note Joker’s strong second-week performance in Japan, which is already in a battle with “Shinji Muroi: The Undefeated.” released in Japan from November 29, 2024.
