A joke that no one liked: Warner Bros. will lose approximately $150-200 million due to the failure of the Joker sequel

We wrote that the Joker sequel will be released in online cinemas on 29 October due to low box office receipts. At the same time, it became known how much Warner Bros. lost because of this film.

Here's What We Know

The film needs to raise $450 million to break even, but critics predict that it will manage to collect no more than $200 million.

According to Variety, insiders, as well as three competing managers who know about similar projects, estimate that the film could lose at least $150-200 million during its theatrical release.

Therefore, the only hope of raising at least a little more is in online cinemas.

Box office analysts believe that director Todd Phillips alienated DC fans by introducing dance numbers into the sequel, which led to a huge difference in sales between the first and second Joker installments. While the original was a dark and creepy drama, the next instalment has already become a musical.
