Ryan Reynolds congratulates Joker movie

Kinda weird that this movie seems to hate the character of the Joker. Pretty much took the chaotic, psychopathic clown and made him a mopey, self-pitying loser whose only achievement is one of pure cowardice. Not saying I didn't think it was a good movie. Just surprised that it was basically a two hour take down of one of the most popular villains of all time. A pretty effective one.


Edit: I should say I also recognize the sad, mental illness side of his character was focused on as well. Even that aspect took an element that is usually used for intrigue and excitement and made it so pathetic that it practically shames the audience for rooting him on.

My thoughts as well. What a movie and performance. Wow.

Double win for them, they usually spend six figures marketing.

Getting close to a BILLION $’s now globally. That’s a ton of money to throw at Phoenix to reprise the Joker role.

What? Six figures is 999,999 or less. I guarantee you they spend way way way way more than that on marketing.

Very happy for the success of this film.

You get a cut of the box office receipts?

Ha no of course not but I root for DC films to be good and do well at the box office because then the studio will move forward with more movies like it (felt the same way with Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy) . Also rooting for The Batman to be awesome/successful in the summer of 2021.

Looks like the sequel is in the works.

They don't include it in the production budget numbers. I've heard that it's usually between fifty percent to being equal what they spend on production alone. And why they aren't as profitable as the inflated numbers would show

Really liked the joker but I don't feel this needs a sequel imo except if it involves the new Batman movie. Money talks though.

Apparently this isn't true...yet

@DEADLINE: EXCLUSIVE: #JokerMovie sequel news is mere click-bait. Insiders say Todd Phillips never pitched origin film series on other DC characters. Don't believe the hype just yet. https://deadline.com/2019/11/joker-s...ed-1202790774/

Hmmmmmm

may be on, maybe not. Eventually, it will be on for a BILLION reasons.

This is true in any field. If there’s plenty of money to be made for everyone involved, it happens.
