Deep dives
The Flop of Joker 2
The sequel to the blockbuster film Joker has become one of the most significant commercial failures in Hollywood, with audiences and fans largely rejecting it. Despite being produced with a much higher budget, the film failed to attract viewers, with many citing a perceived hostility towards the original audience as a major factor. The backlash stems from the belief that the filmmakers alienated fans by disregarding the elements that made the original film successful. Critics argue that the film's shift in tone and messaging actively disrespected the core fan base, affecting its box office performance and cultural reception.
