Joker: Folie À Deux is heading to streaming, just weeks after its theatrical release.
The movie, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga,
will be available to rent from home starting October 29, in an effort to recoup some of
Warner Bros. investment into the film, as per Variety.
The musical, which bombed at the box office, is 'poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical
run' according to the publication.
The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce
the film and about $100 million on marketing and distribution, according to the report.
It would need to gross about $450 million at the box office to break even — when factoring in the cut taken by theaters — though Warner Bros.
sources claim the number is $375 million.

Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ
A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying 'Any estimates suggested by anonymous "insiders" or
"rival executives" are grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumor is reported as fact.'
'The film continues to play in theatrical release, included
with this week's opening in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home viewing and ancillary
run.'
So far, the musical about Batman's nemesis has
grossed $51.5 million domestically and $165 million globally after two weeks of
release.
In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically and
$248.4 million globally after three days of release.
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film was considered a surefire
hit for Warner Bros Pictures, yet ended up being slammed by critics and
failed to ignite at the box office.
Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history as the film bombed
at the box office on opening night.
The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized
as 'bleak' and 'disappointing' — officially released in theaters on Friday, October 4.
Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel, which had earned him an Oscar for
his portrayal in the 2019 film, while Gaga took on the role of Harleen Lee
Quinzel (Harley Quinn).
However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore
— the lowest score for a comic book movie.
The movie will be available to rent from home starting October 29, in an effort to recoup
some of Warner Bros. investment into the film, according

Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year and also received terrible reviews — holds a higher score with a
C+.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience
score of 31% and a critic score of 32%.
The sequel has been roundly criticized for
being a musical and 'ignoring' the DC fanbase - with an agent familiar with
director Todd Phillips' process telling Variety he 'wanted nothing to do with DC'
during the making of the film, with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran notably absent from the film's LA premiere afterparty last month.
A source said: 'If the first movie was about some down-on-his-luck, mentally ill guy
in a downtrodden city, it makes maybe $150 [million] worldwide.
Not a billion. People showed up because that guy was Joker.'
In an apparent snub by Phillips, the opening sequence of the film
does not include a DC Studios logo.
A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at the end of the Joker sequel, while Phillips declined to comment to the publication.
Several frictions are said to have developed between Phillips, DC and Warner-
with claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner Bros.
Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed 'unwilling' to say no to
Phillips due to his huge past successes.
It is claimed Phillips would 'only' speak with DeLuca and Abdy rather than Gunn
and Safran - who took control of DC two months
before production began on Joker 2 in December 2022.
Gunn and Safran did attend the first director's cut screening for the studio but Phillips fueled rift speculation when he
told a reporter: 'With all due respect to them, this is kind of
a Warner Bros. movie.'
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also met with Phillips shortly after WarnerMedia and Discovery merged in April 2022 and was 'open to filming in Los Angeles if the director would make the sequel
at a lower price point.'
The studio wanted to film in London which would have cost around 20
per cent less.
A source directly involved with the film recently shared: 'The one
thing about genre stuff: If you don't listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you're going to fail'; director Todd Phillips seen with Gaga and Phoenix at the LA premiere September 30
However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with the budget remaining static.
A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio 'supported the decision to film in Los Angeles'.
A source directly involved with the film said: 'No one could get through to Todd.
And the one thing about genre stuff: If you don't listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you're going
to fail.
Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want to premiere the
film at the Venice Film Festival, but Phillips pushed back - with a Warner spokesman saying the studio 'fully supported the decision to bring the film to Venice.
Along with Gaga and Phoenix, other stars that had appeared in the sequel
include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Zazie Beatz and Steve Coogan. -

Do Greens and crossbenchers who claim that transparency
and integrity is at the heart of their reason for
entering Parliament in the first place hear themselves?
In the past few days they have mounted self-serving
arguments against proposed electoral reforms that the major parties
look set to come together to support.
The reforms include caps for how much money wealthy individuals can donate, caps on the amount candidates can spend in individual electorates to
prevent the equivalent of an arms race, and a $90million limit on what any party can spend at an election -
actually less than the major parties currently spend.
The proposed new laws also include lower disclosure thresholds for donations, thus increasing the transparency of who makes political donations in the first place.
So the wealthy wont be able to hide behind anonymity while using their cash to influence election outcomes - and the extent to
which they can use their wealth at all will be limited.
The bill will further improve transparency by also increasing the speed and frequency that disclosures of donations need to be made.
At present we have the absurd situation in which
donations get made - but you only find out the details of
who has given what to whom many months later, well after
elections are won and lost.
In other words, what is broadly being proposed will result in much greater
transparency and far less big money being injected into campaigning by the wealthy.
Teal Kylea Tink claimed the major parties were 'running scared' with the policy and warned the reform would 'not stop the rot'
Greens senate leader Larissa Waters (left) fired a warning shot - saying
if it serves only the major parties 'it's a rort, not reform'. Teal independent
ACT senator David Pocock (right) said: 'What seems to be happening is a major-party stitch-up'
Anyone donating more than $1,000 to a political party, as opposed to $16,000 under the current
rules, will need to disclose having done so. And how much they can donate
will be capped.
Yet the Greens and Teals have quickly condemned the proposed new laws, labeling them a 'stitch-up', 'outrageous'
and 'a rort, not a reform'.
They have lost their collective minds after finding out that
Labor's proposal just might secure the support of the opposition.
I had to double check who was criticising what
exactly before even starting to write this column.
Because I had assumed - incorrectly - that these important transparency
measures stamping out the influence of the wealthy must have been proposed by the virtue-signalling Greens or the corruption-fighting Teals, in a united crossbench effort to drag the major parties closer to accountability.
More fool me.
The bill, designed to clean up a rotten system, is being
put forward by Labor and is opposed by a growing cabal
of crossbenchers.
It makes you wonder what they have to hide.
Put simply, the Greens and Teals doth protest too
much on this issue.
Labor is thought to be trying to muscle out major political donors such as Clive
Palmer
Another potential target of the laws is businessman and Teal funder
Simon Holmes à Court
The Greens have taken massive donations in the past, contrary to their
irregular calls to tighten donations rules (Greens leader Adam Bandt and Senator Mehreen Faruqi are pictured)
The major parties have long complained about the
influence the likes of Simon Holmes à Court wields behind the scenes amongst the
Teals.
And we know the Greens have taken massive donations from the wealthy in the
past, contrary to their irregular calls to tighten donations
rules.
Now that tangible change has been proposed, these bastions of virtue are running a mile from reforms that will curtail dark art of
political donations.
The Labor government isn't even seeking for these transparency
rules to take effect immediately, by the way. It
won't be some sort of quick-paced power play before the next election designed to catch the crossbench out.
They are aiming for implementation by 2026, giving everyone enough time to absorb and understand
the changes before preparing for them.
Don't get me wrong, no deal has yet been done between Labor and the Coalition.
I imagine the opposition want to go over the laws with a fine tooth comb.
As they should - because it certainly isn't beyond Labor to include hidden one-party advantages
in the proposed design which would create loopholes only the unions are capable of
taking advantage of, therefore disadvantaging the Coalition electorally in the years to come.
But short of such baked-in trickiness scuttling a deal to get these proposed laws implemented, the crossbench should offer their support, not cynical opposition,
to what is being advocated for.
They might even be able to offer something
worthwhile that could be incorporated in the package.
To not do so exposes their utter hypocrisy and blowhard false commentary about being in politics to 'clean things up'. -
