Crash "Joker: Madness for two"? Warner Bros. under threat

The movie "Joker: Madness for Two" was a surprise for fans of the film industry, but not the kind that pleasantly surprises. Financial Losses Warner Bros. from this project, according to forecasts, can amount to 200 million dollars.

Why was the sequel unable to repeat the success of the original?

Unlike the first part, which became a real phenomenon at the box office, "Joker: Madness for Two" could not capture the hearts of the audience with the same force. Already at the start, the film collected only 51.5 million dollars in the United States and 165 million in the world, while the first "Joker" in three days collected 96.2 million dollars in America.

"Any predictions coming from anonymous sources or competitors are seriously wrong, " Warner Bros. said, adding that the film continues to show "good results."

Analysis: What awaits Warner Bros. in the future?

Given the current situation, analysts are predicting a US total of $65 million, and a global total of no more than $215 million. This signals serious financial challenges for the studio, because with a budget of $300 million, losses could become a significant problem for Warner Bros. However, there is hope that home viewing will help make up for some of the losses, but its release date is still unknown.

Despite all this, "Joker: Madness for Two" has already entered history, but, unfortunately, not in the way that the creators and viewers expected.
