    I just don’t understand. The first was a novelty that did surprisingly well, I had no expectation that this would be anywhere as successful. Who’s making these estimates?

      I don’t think a Joker movie is really much of a novelty? Just a superhero film that looks at an origin story for the most popular comic villain of all time.

        Compared to most movies… it was weird. I enjoyed my time with it but didn’t care what happened after the credits rolled. I don’t know anyone that was looking forward to this, most didn’t even know about it.

        At least the first one had the stairs meme!

          I loved the first one. The second one I immediately did not care about the moment I heard that it was a musical. At first I thought they were joking.

            Don’t get me wrong, the first was a good movie! It was also what I expected going in: a slow character piece about some guy turning into a crazy Batman villain.

            I didn’t know the sequel was a musical, what an odd decision!
