Will Joker: Folie a Deux be a Box Office Success?
It’s impossible to predict if Joker: Folie a Deux will be a box office smash and generate as much critical acclaim as Joker.
However, the success of the movie’s first teaser trailer indicates that fans will be flocking to movie theaters upon its release this October.
The trailer was viewed an impressive 167 million times in the first 24 hours of its release, surpassing Barbie (2023) for views and social media engagement.
As the Margot Robbie-led movie earned a whopping $1.446 billion at the box office, generating $155 million during its opening weekend, it is a positive sign that Joker: Folie a Deux could surpass the $100,000 to $120.5 million mark in its first weekend.
The movie could even secure a new wave of fans, as the sequel features the hugely popular Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn.
If the success of Joker: Folie a Deux teaser trailer is anything to go by, it shouldn’t be a surprise if the flick earns more than $1 billion in total at the box office, like the first installment.
What Other Films Will Be Released in October 2024?
Joker: Folie a Deux’s box office success will likely be determined by the movies it will go up against this October.
For instance, it might face competition from White Bird, Monster Summer, and The Visitor, but they are unlikely to have as many fans.
Of course, other movies released during October could attract moviegoers, such as Smile 2, Flight Risk, and Venom: The Last Dance.
Many of the October releases don’t appear to be a huge threat to the sequel, but you’ll need to wait to find out how much money the flick generates at the box office.
