The sequel "Joker: Folie à Deux," featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, has experienced a dramatic 80% drop in box office revenue, falling from a $30 million opening to just $7.1 million. This marks a record decline for a comic-book film, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Overtaken this weekend by indie horror film "Terrifier 3," with an $18.2 million take, and the animated "The Wild Robot,” earning $13.4 million, "Folie à Deux" fell to the third position. Critics offered mixed reviews, praising its boldness while also finding it dull. Meanwhile, further down, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" secured fourth with $7 million, and "Piece by Piece," a Lego-style comedy-drama filled with renowned voices, rounded out the top five. On a different note, "The Apprentice”—a biopic on Donald Trump—inaugurated at tenth with $1.6 million, ahead of its UK debut at the London Film Festival. The film stirred controversy and legal pushback from Trump, depicting dramatized events from his life, while critics call it "election interference." The project initiates with a disclaimer on its fictional elements, reflecting polarizing opinions similar to those on "Joker: Folie à Deux."
