While International numbers are still being finalized, Joker 2 Mexico weekend just got worse. Initial opening was around $5.5M, but with actuals it could go as low as $4.5M, an overestimation of ~$1M. Final gross estimated to not reach first movie Opening Weekend ($13.5M)

  1. Are major adjustments normal or is this a Joker 2 thing? I say this because the domestic estimate was revised down from $40M to <$38M, which is a somewhat larger revision than normal. WB seemed to have put out a higher estimate to pump up the movie a bit before the actuals came out, and I’m wondering if that’s something that they (or their local distribution partner) may have done in international markets.

  2. WBD really wanted the physicological win in the headlines yesterday. Maybe the trades can use these wild overestimations as a clickbaity headline to spread the real performance of the movie.

  3. Atrocious numbers. Comic book movies are massively popular in Mexico and Joker did very well there.

  4. Oh fuck, they cooked the books *overseas* too? Jesus Christ, this thing is dying ***everywhere!***

  5. I’m from Mexico. Yeah, the film’s word of mouth spread very quickly. The ending is all over social media and everyone is mocking it. I have not met a single person who liked the film.

    Off-topic: Suddenly, a *Stop Making Sense* re-release was announced a few weeks ago. I went this Saturday (it was packed!) and it was a glorious experience watching it in the big screen.

    Warner Brothers definitely added some extra cash to their estimates for each territory, to make the international numbers look better than they actually were for as long as they could.
