Can't wait... for the trailer!

I think at the end of the film there will be plenty of pro-Joker ideology supporters. #WeAreTheJoker tongue.gif

This reminds me of a joke:
Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.' Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor…I am Pagliacci.

This version of the Joker seems very grounded as in 'no chemical incident' instead a product of society. I wonder how many references to Batman will this have (if any). They may opt to completely ignore the existence of superheroes.

Love this - - it shows that the Joker has many, many supporters or those dealing with similar issues.

If this movie turns out bad, it will definitely not be because of Joaquin Phoenix.

Hopefully it turns out great... the same was said about TDKR (Oscar worthy for Best Picture) but I didn't find it that good.

These folks laugh.gif Pay ticket admission to "R" rated movie - - walk out of cinema due to disturbing content.

WTF logic is this? confused.gif

The movie is for adults... not kids and it's a WORK OF FICTION.

Want less violent content watch PG-13 la...

I remember there were some who complained about "Deadpool" having too much vulgar language doh.gif

is there any deleted scenes on the violence part? plan to watch this weekend.

I believe violent scenes are intact, no cuts. Just certain imageries + hand gesture are blurred out.

The violent scenes are integral/pivotal to the plot, so I'm glad they didn't cut any of those.

Half a billion dollars worldwide gross on a budget of $55-70 million!

$543 million worldwide gross! blink.gif

Hope to see more 'experimental' DC Black films... these are territories Disney/MCU would shy away.

Can't compare Heath to Joaquin. Totally, totally different methodology/approach.

In fact, I went in watching this film not wanting to compare to Heath's performance (which yes, is still remarkable).

Heath <> Joaquin = both deserve the same standing ovation.

In terms of "filmic quality" - - TDK is indeed better than "Joker". But in terms of the actor portraying the crown prince - - both deserve equal praise. I refuse to say one is better than the other.

Joaquin is guaranteed IMO to get at least a Golden Globe Nomination for Best Actor while I'm hopeful for an Oscar nomination. An Oscar win may not happen as I've not seen the full field of contenders but a Golden Globe I think (since HFPA tends to favor popularity to some degree) is in the bag.

Joker will become the first R-rated film topping the huge $1 billion mark at the box office

fter grossing $37 million internationally and $14 million domestically at the weekend box office, Warner Bros.’ super-villain origin tale Joker has amassed an impressive $934 million in global theatrical receipts. So it is now inevitable – Joker will become the first R-rated film topping the huge $1 billion mark at the box office.

It’s especially impressive that Joker will manage the $1 billion feat without a release in China, making it the first first-release film since 2008’s The Dark Knight to do so.


No China release and it is close to topping $1 billion + R-rated film. Wow.

Stunning work, we take it for granted sometimes... but then again we shouldn't notice these as it should blend into our movie experience seamlessly.

Congrats $1 billion worldwide on a budget of $50-70 million

WB apparently split the production cost 3-way
https://screenrant.com/joker-movie-box-offi...s-profit-split/

QUOTE
Going by the general rule of thumb, a film needs to double its production budget at the box office in order to make its money back (covering marketing and distribution costs). Using that formula, Joker would be clear after grossing a measly $128 million globally. As of this writing, Joker has earned about $993.8 million, so it's turned approximately $865.8 million in profit from ticket sales (the film will earn even more money once it hits home media). It's unknown what kind of arrangement WB, BRON, and Village Roadshow worked out, but if they're to split the profits equally three ways, WB stands to receive around $288.6 million for their investment.


No wonder WB executives said they were surprised by the reception... how they wish they could have had it all! tongue.gif

Hmm... interesting. The film works best standalone, and if they were to spawn a sequel/sequels, it will make the film less powerful IMO.

Doing a sequel is basically an invitation for another DC character to appear... young Batman? I don't know.

The 'missing factor' in the Joker film is a hero, as in a "superhero". Can't really think of a good way to continue the Joker story with just Joker alone. Or perhaps the whole thing was in his mind and this time he really does it. hmm.gif

Joker: Folie à Deux

user posted image

For the subtitle, a very interesting read:
https://www.distractify.com/p/joker-folie-a-deux-meaning

QUOTE
What is the meaning of the 'Joker' sequel subtitle, "Folie à Deux"?
According to a 2005 study published in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry, the term "Folie à deux" is defined as "an identical or similar mental disorder affecting two or more individuals, usually the members of a close family."

But, when translated literally, Folie à deux means "madness for two."

With this in mind, fan theories are already circulating online as many have begun to discuss how Folie à deux's meaning could indicate potential storylines in the upcoming film. As of now, hundreds of fans are fully convinced that the "madness of two" translation suggests the one and only Harley Quinn will appear alongside the Joker.

"Folie à deux translates to "shared madness," so ... there's gonna be Harley Quinn in it ... that raises the question: Who will play her?" one fan shared on Twitter.

Another added, "They've gotta be doing a version of Harley Quinn; the subtitle Folie á Deux translates to "madness for two," and look at the colors: black and red." Honestly, we didn't even notice the black and red color scheme — that's very interesting.

On the other hand, another prominent fan theory states that folie à deux implies that there will be two Jokers in the film. It's official: We really need this to be the case! But who will play the other Joker? Well, look no further than Willem Dafoe.

A unique take for a sequel; a musical.
