Not quite on par with The Marvels mega-bomb, but pretty close

$200 Million ‘Joker’ Sequel Is a Box Office Bust

“Joker: Folie à Deux,” the expensive musical starring Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, hit the wrong note with critics and audiences.

pretty much since it was announced as happening, many people seemed to think this movie would bomb, and it appears they were correct. sometimes perfect one-offs don't need a sequel. it still doesn't tarnish the first one, which is a darn good, though very disturbing film.

Good. That's NOT the Joker and that's NOT Harley Quinn. Make an original movie and stop bastardizing the comics & cartoons.

The first one was an interesting portrait of mental illness, but it was a *terrible* Joker film.
