Joker 2 Box Office Numbers: Total, Worldwide, Domestic, Opening & Records*

Joker: Folie à Deux has been released worldwide, with its box office numbers garnering a lot of attention, comparisons to the first movie, and questions about the future of the DC franchise. When looking at the list of upcoming DC movies, Joker 2 was the last before James Gunn"s DC Universe truly begins with Superman in 2025. As such, a great deal of attention was placed on Joker: Folie à Deux, not only to gauge how DC"s Elseworlds properties will fare moving forward but also due to the first movie"s overwhelming success.
By the time of Joker: Folie à Deux"s ending, many were disappointed by the sequel. The attention it received pre-release proved not to extend into positive reviews as, despite Joker 2"s promising cast and craftsmanship, the story proved not to resonate with critics and audiences alike. This immediately led attention to turn to how the film would perform at the box office, especially given Joker: Folie à Deux"s massive budget of $200 million. As it turns out, Joker 2’s box office proved worthy of exploration, sporting negative comparisons to the first movie and difficult questions about Joker 3.
Joker 2's Total Box Office (So Far) Joker: Folie à Deux's Domestic, International, & Worldwide Numbers Explained Custom image by Richard Craig As alluded to, Joker 2 underperformed at the box office. At the time of writing, the film has not yet earned back its production budget. As a general rule of thumb, Hollywood movies are said to have to earn two-and-a-half times their production budget back to begin turning a profit, a reality which does not look feasible for Joker: Folie à Deux unless it proves to have longevity at the worldwide box office.

$200,000,000
While these numbers do not look overly damning, the nature of Hollywood box office of late indicates that Joker 2 is shaping up to be a box office flop. For one, franchise movies are only growing larger in terms of budget, with Joker: Folie à Deux"s $200 million reflecting this. Secondly, movies increasingly rely on opening weekend numbers to be deemed a success, with Joker 2 failing to turn a profit upon release. Finally, movies are facing progressively shorter windows in cinemas, with the gap between worldwide releases and home video growing ever shorter.
Joker 2's Opening Weekend Box Office Joker: Folie à Deux's Opening Weekend Was One Of Disappointment Close With opening weekend numbers being more important than ever to a big-budget movie"s box office, it is worth exploring how Joker 2 fared in its first week of release. The film was released worldwide on October 4, 2024, yet failed to bring in the same success as its predecessor. In North America and Canada, the film was initially projected to earn at least $100 million in its opening weekend. However, as Joker 2"s release date grew closer, projections dropped to $50-$70 million as questions over who the film was for were raised.
