Joker: Folie À Deux director Todd Phillips 'wanted nothing to do with DC' during making of the
$200million flop film, a new report has claimed.
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film -
stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga and was considered a surefire hit for
Warner Bros Pictures - but was slammed by critics and failed to ignite
at the box office.
The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and
'ignoring' the DC fanbase - with an agent familiar with 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.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience
score of 31% and a critic score of 32%

which had lost a day of production due to Hurricane Helene, while Safran was sick.

Joker: Folie À Deux is branded 'bleak' and the 'most disappointing follow-up' by critics
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.
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.
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.
It has only made $114million worldwide against its $200million budget.
The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as 'bleak' and 'disappointing' — officially released in theaters
on Friday, October 4, but it only raked in $20 million at
the domestic box office, per The Hollywood Reporter.
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.
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 is projected to rake in less that $50 million at the domestic box office during the entirety of opening weekend, per The Hollywood
Reporter.
Weeks ago, the movie had been projected to bring in around $70 million - but the number has since drastically dropped.
Joker (2019) notably opened with $96.2 million when the film first released in theaters - and eventually landed
a little over $1 billion in the global box office.
The first movie - which was also directed by Todd Phillips - had a budget of
between $55 and $70 million. However, the budget increased for Folie À Deux to
around $200 million.
The 2019 movie garnered praise and positive reviews
from both critics and audiences - and won the Golden Lion during the
76th Venice International Film Festival.
Joaquin received an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of the Joker
(Arthur Fleck) - and the film garnered an additional Academy Award for Best Original Score.
The sequel also screened during the Venice International Film
Festival last month in September, where it earned a 12-minute standing
ovation, per Deadline.
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.
However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released in theaters on Friday - and shared their opinions on the sequel, which features
musical sequences.
One fan penned, 'Joaquin Phoenix don't deserve this.

'Ironically I feel that a musical, if done well, could have been a good choice.
It'd show how much of an unreliable narrator Fleck
is,' one typed.
'But with some original songs, that keep everything vague,
not just covers. Also when I heard of the ending I snorted fr.'
A social media user wrote, 'Stop making sequels as musicals
if the original wasn't a musical.'
'Maybe he [Phillips] only had an hour long movie, and decided to randomly add
musical scenes to fill the runtime,' one penned.
'Joker downfall really needs to be studied,' another shared, along with a monkey
staring out a window.
One fan said, 'the movie sucks. i had to walk out of the
cinema,' while another penned, 'After years of disagreement....*Joker 2 releases* Critics [shaking hands] Audience.'
However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released in theaters on Friday - and
shared their opinions over the sequel, which was also a
musical

'That's way below what we expected,' one wrote in regards to the current Rotten Tomatoes scores.
'People are saying this is the worst sequel ever.'
A fan explained, 'yea this film was bad. it was pretentious and dull.
has the aesthetic of an arthouse film without the substance.'
'It also insults the audience's intelligence.
the songs were also underwhelming too. they shouldn't have
let this escape to theaters.'
One shared, 'The audience that loved the first movie is not the same audience running to see musicals.
This was a gigantic mistake from step 1.'
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter,
Phillips discussed whether he would be interested in making a third Joker
film or a movie centered around Gaga's character.
'It's not really where this movie is headed for
me. I feel like my time in the DC Universe was these two films.'
Ahead of the movie's release, Lady Gaga also dropped an accompanying album
titled Harlequin on September 27.
Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the 'most disappointing follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie' by critics, as they cast
doubt on Lady Gaga's 'thin' role in the film following its release on Friday.

'People are saying this is the worst sequel ever'
A fan explained, 'yea this film was bad. it was pretentious and dull.

The 'bleak' sequel, has also received a tepid
reception from fans, with some claiming Lady Gaga's career could be at
risk.
While the same director Todd Phillips was back in the hot seat, critics have said
the sequel is just a 'repeat' of the first hit but with an added musical twist.
Most critics have said Todd failed to use Gaga correctly in the movie and
claimed she was only bought in for the musical aspect
of it.
While the majority of critics say Joker: Folie À Deux didn't live up to expectations, others
have dubbed the movie 'bold' and 'brilliant.'
Daily Mail's Brian Viner commended the move as 'bold' and 'brilliant' but said it
lacked any thrill.
The Independent's Geoffrey Macnab said: 'Today Joker is best remembered as one of
the most subversive and original films of the last decade,
while its hugely anticipated sequel is just as bleak
and formally daring as its predecessor'.
Meanwhile, the Irish Times' Donald Clarke gave the movie just two stars but credited Phillips' work for
making a sequel following the first movie's $1billion success.
Financial Times critic Danny Leigh said although Gaga worked hard to bump the ratings up
in the sequel, Phillips appeared to have no idea what to do with
her.
Giving a three star rating, The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw claimed the movie proves 'claustrophobic' and 'repetitive.'
Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the 'most
disappointing follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie' by critics, as

The Times' Kevin Maher wrote: 'The director Todd Phillips said
there would be no follow-up to the original, but he changed
his mind and the result is a derivative musical'
'This might be the most disappointing follow-up to an Oscar-winning performance since Anthony Hopkins reworked his silky and
terrifying Dr Lecter from for the campy, kitschy.'
Along with Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, other stars
that had appeared in the sequel include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Zazie Beatz
and Steve Coogan.
Joker: Folie à Deux has faced additional backlash from fans as
they have claimed that Gaga is running the risk of losing
her acting career.
